With its outstanding performance and multifunctional capabilities, the 5" M5 monitor is a trusted partner for video and photography professionals. Specifications: Screen: 1080p 5.5-inch IPS touch screen Brightness: 1200 nits Contrast ratio: 1000:1 Color space coverage: 100% Rec. 709, Delta E: 0.6 Supported resolutions: DCI 4K25, UHD 4K30 HDR support: HLG and PQ 3D LUT: Supports 17 and 33 cc 3D LUTs Inputs and Outputs: HDMI 1.4 (x2), SD card reader, USB-C Additional functions: Vector diagram, Histogram, Waveform, Mask function Power: L-Series/F970 battery (battery board on the back), DC Input High brightness and image quality: The M5 monitor delivers 1200 nits of brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio for bright, clear images. IPS screen with viewing angles up to 160 degrees provides excellent visibility from any angle. Built-in HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) mode and PQ (Perceptual Quantization) support make the monitor ideal for working with HDR content. HLG and PQ are two common formats for transmitting and playing high dynamic range (HDR) content. HLG mode ensures compatibility with a variety of devices and TVs that support this standard, while PQ provides maximum picture quality and contrast. Professional color accuracy and 3D LUT: The M5 monitor is calibrated to reproduce 100% of the Rec. 709 with a low Delta E of only 0.6, ensuring accurate color reproduction. 3D LUT (3D Look-Up Table) is a color correction tool that allows you to fine-tune color reproduction and contrast on your monitor. The M5 monitor supports both 17cc and 33cc 3D LUTs. This means you can load and use 3D LUT files of varying complexity to achieve the desired visual effect and color correction on your monitor screen. You can create and load 3D LUT files into Davinci Resolve, then apply them to your M5 monitor for the most accurate color grading and image control. Monitoring for cameraman and director: The monitor has a wide range of functions: Luma Waveform, RGB Parade, Vectorscope, Histogram, The aspect ratio markers, Safe Area, Center Marker, Focus Peaking, Zoom In, Zebra Pattern, False Color, Monochrome, 3D LUT loading & adjustment, Gamma setting, HDR monitoring, Color temperature setting, Sharpness, RGB adjustment, etc. Vector diagram: Visualization of color balance. Allows you to precisely control the colors in the scene and adjust the color temperature in real time. Histogram: Displays the brightness in an image. Provides exposure control, prevents over- or under-exposure, and helps optimize brightness and contrast. Waveform: A graph of changes in scene brightness over time. Ideal for controlling dynamic range and identifying peaks, ensuring detail is preserved in dark and light areas of the frame. Mask function: Adjust the aspect ratio of the image. Useful when shooting with specific aspect ratio standards, which helps create a frame that matches the vision of the project. Convenient buttons and ports: The top of the monitor features a power button and three customizable function buttons for quick access to the monitoring tools you use most. On the left are two HDMI 1.4 ports (one input, one output) and a DC input for additional power. On the right there is an SD card slot that allows you to load up to 99 custom LUTs, as well as built-in 8 LUTs for log monitoring. Supports rack mounting with 1/4"-20 threads on the bottom or side. There's also a USB-C port for firmware updates, as well as audio monitoring via the 3.5mm input. On the back of the monitor there is a board for the L-Series/F970 battery. For what purposes is the monitor suitable: The M5 is ideal for professional videographers and filmmakers working with 4K HDR content and using Davinci Resolve color grading software. It's also useful for photographers who want to test the quality of their images on a high-quality screen. The monitor is suitable for studio and location shooting due to its compact size and multifunctional capabilities.
