The compact and lightweight full-HD RVM-5P-HDR is a feature-rich on-camera monitor that delivers extremely sharp images whether you’re
shooting with a DSLR or a pro camcorder. It boasts a daylight-viewable LCD touchscreen that allows you to access menus and control
functions. In addition, a simple double-tap on the screen activates 1:1 pixel mode that offers a view of your video at full resolution. You can
zoom in and out of your shot with the same pinch gesture you use with a smartphone or tablet. All the functions and menu items are also
accessible with the onboard controls.
The RVM-5P-HDR monitor supports a wide range of video signals and is equipped with HDMI input and output ports. A swing arm is included
for mounting onto a gimbal, camera cage, or your camera itself. The monitor is powered by a single NP-F battery, and the battery plate includes
an integrated DC output and dummy battery to power your camera.

FUNCTION BUTTONS
The four function buttons (F1–4) on the top of the monitor engage
monitor functions that can be programmed to accommodate your
specic needs. See Function Button Shortcut Menu below for
information on changing the function assignment for each button.
By default, the function buttons are set as follows:
F1: Audio Meters. Places an audio meter on-screen to monitor the
level of incoming audio. Open the Audio Meters menu to change the
on- screen position of the meters and the blending, or opaqueness,
level.
F2: Peaking. Adds a red outline to any part of the image that is in
focus. Open the Peaking meter to adjust the factor (strength) and the
outline color.
F3: False Color. Replaces the true colors of the image with a standard
set of colors, displayed in an on-screen chart, that represent exposure
levels. The higher—or hotter—the exposure, the higher the color will
be in the chart. Open the False Color menu to adjust under warning
(-10 to 15) and over warning (85 to 110) and to turn the on-screen
chart on or off.
F4: HDR (HLG). Turn on HDR (HLG) when monitoring a camera
that’s recording in Hybrid Log-Gamma format. The function uses
the display’s luminance range to correctly display an incoming HLG
signal. The HDR (HLG) function can be used in tandem with any
applied LUT.
Important! The function buttons are active only when the monitor
receives a video signal.
• Press the function button to turn the function on and off.
• Press and hold the function button to activate the function’s menu.
Then use the scroll wheel to select menu options, set values, and
