Portkeys MT22DS II 21.5" Triple Vertical Screen On-Site Directors Monitor

Overview

The Portkeys MT22DS II 21.5" Triple Vertical Screen On-Site Directors Monitor is a professional production monitor designed for demanding on-set workflows where brightness, flexible signal handling, and multi-camera monitoring are essential. Built around a 21.5-inch Full HD display with 1500 cd/m² brightness, factory Calman calibration, and wide DCI-P3 coverage, it is suited to daylight viewing and accurate colour-critical monitoring.

Its triple vertical screen design supports monitoring of up to three video inputs simultaneously, while integrated cross-conversion between HDMI and 3G-SDI expands compatibility across a wide range of camera and video systems. A rugged aluminium alloy housing, multiple battery options, 4-pin XLR power input, and comprehensive professional exposure and focus tools make it a strong fit for directors, DITs, and video crews working in the field.

Core Features

• Features a 21.5-inch 8-bit display with 1920 x 1080 resolution and a 1200:1 contrast ratio.

• Includes professional monitoring tools such as waveform, vectorscope, anamorphic desqueeze, peaking, and ARRI false colour.
• Supports 3D LUT monitoring and 3D LUT output over SDI.
• Provides dual V-Mount or Gold Mount battery support plus three rotatable Sony NP-F battery plates with pass-through power.
• Accepts 12 to 24 V DC power via 4-pin XLR and has a maximum power consumption of 50 W.
• Features an all-aluminium housing with rear VESA mounting points and side 1/4"-20 mounting threads.

Multi-Input Monitoring

The MT22DS II is designed for crews who need to view multiple sources at once. Its triple-screen layout and multi-view modes allow flexible display of up to three incoming video signals, helping directors and camera teams compare feeds, monitor different cameras, or keep one source full-screen while viewing secondary inputs.

Professional Exposure and Colour Tools

Built-in monitoring tools support precise on-set evaluation, including waveform, vectorscope, peaking assist, anamorphic image display, and ARRI false colour. 3D LUT support enables custom look previewing during production and LUT output over SDI for compatible downstream workflows.

Power and On-Set Practicality

For location work, the monitor supports multiple powering methods including 4-pin XLR input, dual V-Mount or Gold Mount battery plate compatibility, and three integrated Sony NP-F battery connectors. The rotatable rear battery arrangement and pass-through power support help accommodate wireless video receivers and other accessories in compact field setups.

Durable Production-Ready Design

Constructed from aluminium alloy, the monitor is built for regular production use while remaining practical to mount on carts, stands, or custom rigs. Rear VESA mounting points, side 1/4"-20 threads, a silicone dust cover for rear connectors, and the included EPP case help protect the monitor during transport and daily operation.
