Hdr On Monitors Related Information

I've been reading up on HDR lately, and I'm very excited about the possibilities it brings. But one thing that's confused me is how HDR works on monitors in a dual-monitor setup. So I did some research and found out that Windows 10 will not enable HDR if there's only one HDR display connected to the PC! This means that if you have an SDR display connected to your computer as well as an HDR display, then windows 10 won't activate HDR mode for either display because it thinks both of them are non-HDR compatible devices. Keep reading for more info on why this happens and how you can fix it if this happens to you!

What is HDR?

HDR (high dynamic range) is a display technology that allows you to see more realistic colors, contrast, and shadow detail on your monitor. It's actually an umbrella term for two things: higher color gamut and more dynamic range.

The term "color gamut" refers to the amount of different colors a screen can display. When you buy standard computer monitors or TVs, they'll be calibrated for the sRGB color space—a smaller subset of all possible colors than what HDR can display. So even if your graphics card supports full 16-bit color precision (which is rare), it still won't show you all those extra colors like HDR does because your monitor doesn't support them.

For monitors, HDR = higher contrast

When it comes to monitors, HDR is all about contrast. Contrast ratio is basically the difference between the lightest and darkest colors a monitor can display. The higher this ratio is, the better your HDR experience will be. A good way to think about it is like this: when you look at an image on an SDR monitor with a contrast ratio of 1:1 (i.e., no HDR), everything will look flat and washed out; this happens because all parts of the image have equal brightness levels—it's all one shade of grayish brown!

But if you watch that same exact video on an HDR monitor with a contrast ratio of 10:1 instead? You'll see more vibrant colors that pop off the screen because they've been given more depth and texture by having higher contrasts between them

HDR on monitors can only be done with a PC

You can't enable HDR on a monitor with a console. You also can't enable it with a mobile device (unless you're using something like the Surface Pro). This is because HDR requires more than what most TVs and consoles are capable of outputting.

However, if you have a PC that supports an HDMI port, then you're good to go! All you need to do is plug your PC into your monitor's HDMI port and use its graphics processor to generate the extra colors needed for HDR.

HDR on a non-HDR monitor looks just like SDR

If you have an SDR-only monitor and are wondering what exactly will be different about HDR content, the answer is: nothing. That’s because, just like with monitors, there isn’t really a difference between an HD TV and UHD Blu-ray players when it comes to displaying HDR video. And if you’re wondering why we don't just call all this high dynamic range stuff "HDR" then please refer back to our previous explanation regarding how Netflix's implementation works.

You have to have an HDR-capable monitor to view HDR content

The first point is fairly obvious: you have to have an HDR-capable monitor in order to view HDR content. If your display doesn't support the necessary specs, then it won't be able to show your movies and TV shows at their best.

But if you've got the right hardware and are still getting no luck with getting your favorite titles upscaled? There's a chance that your laptop or tablet just isn't powerful enough to handle the higher contrast ratio of an SDR signal. Or, depending on what kind of device you're using (laptop versus tablet), there may be another issue at play—it could be that those devices simply don't have HDMI ports. For example, many laptops these days do not come with any form of video output beyond USB-C Thunderbolt ports—and even if they do offer HDMI support, sometimes this functionality has been disabled by manufacturers for reasons unknown (or perhaps related to licensing agreements).

if you use a dual-display setup and one display is an SDR display, then windows 10 will not enable HDR on either display

If you use a dual-display setup and one display is an SDR display, then windows 10 will not enable HDR on either display. This is because Windows 10 only enables HDR on a single external monitor. So if you’re using two external monitors and one of them is an SDR display, then windows 10 won’t enable the HDR feature at all because it can only detect one external monitor.

That being said, if both displays are SDR displays or both displays are HDR displays then they should work as expected when enabling HDR in your graphics card settings or with our registry tweak below.

In conclusion, HDR is still a new technology and there are many limitations with it. But if you have access to an HDR monitor, you will be able to enjoy games and movies like never before!

    The PortKeys LH5H is in-factory calibrated using an X-Rite i1 Display Pro colorimeter. The display should look as good as it can be right out of the box without further adjustments. If you have an i1 Display Pro prob, you can re-calibrate your LH5H yourself later down the road if needed.
  • Dc Cable For Monitor
    At the rear of the monitor, you will find the battery plate to power the PortKeys P6. The design of the battery plate is similar to the SmallHD 701, and you can use Sony NP-F batteries on the left side, or Canon LP-E6 on the right side. Also, you can power it with an external battery via the DC barrel input port.
  • portkeys lh5p battery
    However, I found the small dividers not high enough. When you have small items (batteries or memory cards, for example) in a tiny space separated by a partition, they tend to move around in your bag, get out of their dedicated space, and end up hitting other items inside the bag.
  • Loncevon 7 Inch Monitor
    The monitor mount was designed for use with the SmallHD 5 series and the Portkeys BM5 but it will work with most other monitors that have 1/4″-20 mount holes on the bottom of the monitor.
  • portkeys leye ii
    The concept of a handle that can power your camera is not new, with products like the Soonwell PH70. However, I’m not too fond of products that have built-in batteries. It means that once you run out of battery, you have no way to pop a fresh battery pack and continue shooting. It’s a no-go for me in professional shooting conditions.
  • lh5p portkeys
    I’d say that from 0 to 25% brightness, black levels are okay, but you’ll have to consider gamma shifts if you go higher than that, which you’ll do if you go outside.
  • portkeys pt5 ii
    The $399 price tag of the PortKeys BM5 is outstanding for a monitor with that much functionalities. The field monitor will be available end of April. We will add B&H buy links when it become available.
  • leye
    On the Black Mini, there is only one HDMI input port. The monitor supports a maximum input resolution of UHD at up to 30p and FullHD at up to 60p. My findings are a bit different from the manufacturer’s claim of “4K 60Hz”, but it’s already pretty good.
  • Atomos Ninja Assassin 4k Hdmi Monitor Recorder
    The first bundle includes the full-frame mirrorless camera from Panasonic – the LUMIX S1 (our Review, our Lab Test). With its 24.2MP sensor, the camera can record up to 4K 60P cropped or 4K 30P uncropped video. It offers nice ergonomics, good IBIS, and relatively clean images with high ISO. It even became our camera of the year in 2019. The bundle further includes the Sigma MC-21 adapter and Sony 120GB XQD G-Series memory card.
  • portkeys leye sdi
    That’s quite a hefty amount of weight to carry all day long, but you can quickly move around the city (and stairs!) with only one bag.
  • Touch Screen Monitor Wall Mountable
    The buttons on top of the monitor are a bit rigid and clicky too. The battery fit at the back of the monitor is smooth, tolerances are good, and both Sony/Canon batteries go in and out smoothly; no issues here.
  • 8k 32 Inch Monitor
    Another great addition is on the backside of the monitor. In fact, the new design includes a plate on the back of the screen to comfortably host a wireless video transmission system.

    Also, it is a WLED display, and the panel itself is 10-bit (8+2 FRC), so not “true” 10-bit, even if very few monitors are real 10-bit.
  • pt5ii
    The R6 is one of Canon’s two newly introduced mirrorless cameras. It is the lower-resolution more-affordable sibling to the Canon R5. It offers internal 4K60p video in 10-bit with no crop and with AF.

    Bottom: there is one camera control mini-USB port, a 5-pin motor camera control port that doubles up as a DC 7-24V power output port, one 1/4-20” mounting point with locating pins, and a USB Type-A port to update the firmware of the LH5P, load your LUTs, or power it.
  • A6400 External Monitor
    If you wish to attach your monitor to a 1/4-20″ mounting accessory, all you have to do is put a 3/8-16″ to 1/4-20″ threaded insert. Simple and easy, I guess implementing this type of mounting option at the bottom of every monitor is easy to make, making every filmmaker happy.

    As Phil Holland wrote, aside from REDCODE RAW files, the camera can also shoot ProRes MOV files for quick turnaround. They are available in HQ and 422 for both 4K and 2K resolutions. According to Phil, the camera can’t record both at the same time.
  • Nex Monitor
    The Volta36 batteries can’t be charged through the top handle, so it comes with a specific battery charger. As I mentioned earlier, the charger has a micro-USB port so that you can charge the cells via a USB wall adapter or even a power bank.

    According to Portkeys, the PT5 only draws 6W of power. To give you a rough idea, as these results can vary a lot depending on the age/state of your battery pack, I did a quick test with a fresh Canon LP-E6N battery pack (14Wh).
  • portkeys lh5pii
    To know more, check our Lab Test as well as Nino’s C300 Mark III review. This bundle will additionally get you a Canon 24-70MM F2.8L II USM EF-Mount lens and SanDisk CFexpress Extreme Pro 512GB memory card.

    Also, don’t forget that you can put a light stand, a camera tripod, and two small LED tubes on the sides/front of the bag, as well as your gimbal and laptop at the back. It means that an entire shooting kit can fit inside/outside the Flexloader L.
  • portkeys lh5p 5.5
    This can seem quite simple. However, to access these pages, you have to swipe the monitor in various directions to go to the desired page. For example, for the System page, you have to swipe left. For the function page, it’s a swipe on the right. The Control Settings page needs a swipe down and a swipe up for the motor page. It’s not easy to memorize, and there’s no visual indication of the page you’re currently in. But it doesn’t end there.

    Z CAM E2 is a very capable small cinema camera with the Micro four thirds camera mount. It can record in ProRes HQ 10-bit or 4K up to 120fps in H.265 internally. Take a look at our Z CAM E2 review. This bundle with the free PortKeys BM5 monitor and control cable (so the camera can be controlled from the monitor) looks really tempting. Additionaly, the CVP price even without discount is better when compared to other european distributors.
  • Fx6 Monitor
    Also, there is a USB Type-A port on the right side of the monitor that you can use to power the PT5 via a power bank (5V/2A). If you power your monitor with a Sony NP-F or Canon LP-E6 battery, this USB port doubles as a 5V/1A power output that could easily charge your smartphone at the same time.
  • portkeys lh5p review
    I received the Volta Cinema Top Handle in two boxes. In the first one, there was the handle, a NATO rail with two 1/4″-20 screws, and some extra connection pins in case the handle break. There were two batteries with one charger in the second box. Also, they included optional accessories: a dummy D-Tap to LP-E6 battery cable and the monitor mount.
  • Budget Dslr Monitor
    The comes in a compact cardboard box. Nothing exciting so far. Once you open it, everything is neatly packed, with no space wasted. It’s the kind of box that is impossible to re-pack once you’ve opened it and taken the products out. Interestingly enough, the monitor doesn’t come with a case to store it in.
  • Monitor Con USB
    I am left a bit puzzled about possible use cases for this cam – by its very name it implies the use as a cinema camera which I definitely cannot recommend because of the mentioned extreme rolling shutter and the limited dynamic range.

    The Chinese manufacturer PortKeys is starting to be well-known for making affordable monitoring solutions for filmmakers with a lot of built-in monitoring and camera control features. We first heard about the company with the fully-featured BM5 monitor that can control your camera, then more recently the LH5H that is HDMI-only which we are currently reviewing – stay tuned for more info about it.

    Fast forward 10 years and I have the new cinema camera Z CAM E2 from the Chinese manufacturer Z CAM in my hands. A micro four thirds camera capable of shooting 4k DCI using a LOG profile (Z-LOG2) recording ProRes HQ 10bit 4:2:2 internally up to 60fps (4k H265 up to 120fps, 160fps in 1:2.4 mode). Wow!.
  • Small Touch Screen Monitor Hdmi
    Also, dynamic range is limited to 10 stops and hindered furthermore by the fact, that the noise floor is cut off – hence, you cannot dig into the shadows to get that organic, flatter look – shadows are simply black with no information.
  • Check Cable Connection Monitor
    If you want to use this camera for live streaming, in a locked-down scenario which is not demanding in terms of dynamic range, it will work very well.
  • Cctv Monitor Hdmi
    When it comes to the E2, the added benefit of this connection, is the ability to record ProRes RAW directly on the Atomos Ninja V. (At this stage, there is no word from Atomos if ProRes RAW recording will be implemented on other members of the E2 family of cameras).
  • 2 1 Aspect Ratio Monitor
    The bundle further includes the Sigma MC-21 adapter for Canon EF lenses and the 5″ monitor/recorder Atomos Ninja V. With the Ninja V, you can take advantage of recording in 12-bit ProRes RAW with this camera. In this price range, it is a very interesting combination.
  • Gaming Monitor Crosshair Overlay
    The screen itself is very bright (2000 NITS), even in direct sunlight I had no issues seeing the image. Unfortunately, the surface of the screen is very reflective which can hamper the viewing experience, see figure 3 below.

    Finally, the Volta Cinema Top Handle has three 1/4″-20 mounting points at the handle’s back. The threading is really thin, and the metal is not thick here. While this is nice to have mounting points to store screws, I wouldn’t mount a camera accessory to it, even if I don’t see it breaking at all.
  • leye ii
    These dummy batteries are off-the-shelf and not made by Volta Cinema directly. Several models are available, including D-Tap to Sony FZ100, Sony FW50, Panasonic DMW-BL19e, Sony NP-F (the plate is from Atomos), Micro USB for the Tilta Nucleus, as well as custom ones.

    PortKeys was kind enough to send us this new LH5P model with very similar features: in short, it is the same display but 0.3″ bigger, it is made out of aluminum instead of plastic, and it has an antenna for wireless control. We updated this review accordingly and took some time to test every feature again. Enjoy!.

    You got it; when carrying the Manfrotto PRO Light Flexloader L, you have choices, and it can rest on your shoulders for hours. The Manfrotto team put a lot of effort into making a comfortable bag. Being comfy is crucial as the Flexloader L can quickly become heavy considering how many compartments and how much stuff you can put in it.
  • Neon Monitor
    There are many 5″ on-camera monitors available on the market, with different price ranges depending on features you need/want. So I decided to compare the Porkeys PT5 ($169) to the Atomos Shinobi that retails for a $299 price tag ($130 more expensive) and the FeelWorld F5 that is $149.
