With more cameras supporting 4K HDMI output, having a monitor like the Ikan DH5e, which can handle 4K video, is important. Any video input over HDMI is passed through without modification. Whether in-line with a recorder or just for monitoring purposes, the advantage of 4K support does not end there. Focusing aids benefit greatly from the added image fidelity. Legacy workflows are still supported, with NTSC and PAL signals supported over HDMI. The LCD panel of the DH5e is LED backlit and features a resolution of 1920 x 1080. This resolution can display Full HD video without scaling, ensuring tack-sharp critical focus representation for HD productions. 4K video benefits from the 1:1 pixel mapping function for added assurance.
This monitor includes various accessories so you can use it right out of the box. For working in bright conditions, use the sun hood to block glare and reflections. Use the included ball mount to secure the monitor to a standard accessory shoe. Keep your screen in optimal condition with the included screen protector and cleaning cloth. If you have Canon LP-E6 or Sony L-Series type batteries, use one of the included swappable plates. An AC adapter is included for powering from a wall outlet. Other features may be added in the future, and the firmware can be updated by downloading from the Ikan website to the included USB flash drive.

ikan DH5e Overview
Peaking
Peaking highlights the sharpest (most in focus) areas of the image with a color outline. The VXF7 features two modes: monochrome and color. The monochrome mode shows the image in black and white with the red peaking outline, and the color peaking mode shows the image in color with a red peaking outline. Both the peaking color and sensitivity can be adjusted in the monitor's menu system
Movable Pixel-to-Pixel Mapping
1:1 pixel-to-pixel mapping allows you to look at parts of your image without any scaling, so you can see the actual detail and not be fooled by scaling artifacts. Using the navigation keys, the non-scaled area can be moved to analyze other portions of the image.
DSLR Scaling
The DSLR Scaling function enables you to extend your DSLR's HDMI output to any option of four display options: Normal, 3:2, 16:9, or Full Screen.

question
I would like to use the monitor with a Panasonic GH5. Some of my shooting will be 4K 60fps. Will the camera and monitor negotiate a lower frame rate for display purposes only? My use of the monitor will be to limited to manual focus assist.
Since this monitor cannot display 4K 60FPS, you have to set the output of the camera to HD 60FPS for the 60FPS motion to be visible.

question
Does this allow clean HDMI pass-through? I see in the description that it might, but wanting to clarify. My DSLR doesn't show an image when HDMI is connected, so I need to see a picture (for the operator) but also send clean HDMI to a wireless video extender (SlingStudio CameraLink device).
This monitor offers a clean HDMI output.

question
Can I power up the dh5 direct to my powerbank? is it safe?
The DH5e 5 HDMI On-Camera Monitor can take voltage form 7-24VDC. If your USB battery has that range it should be fine. However, we do not have a cable for such a hook up unfortunately.

question
Can i adapt this any wat to a FW50 sony battery from my A7 camera?
I'm afraid not. This monitor uses either Sony NP-F or Canon LP-E6 style batteries. They do not make an FW50 plate nor are there any options to adapt those batteries to this monitor. We do however have Sony and Canon style batteries that will work with this monitor from Watson, they are B&H Numbers WANPF770 and WALPE6.

question
Does canon plate work with LP-E6N battery? I just received my monitor and it wont turn on with canon LP-E6N
It should work perfectly. Make sure you indeed have the correct Canon plate in place, not the Sony that also comes with the monitor. Make sure the Canon Battery is fully charged. Press the on button firmly for 2-3 seconds. If it still does not work, and you have had it less than 30 days, we suggest returning or exchanging it. Please contact B&H Customer Service to do so. If more that 30 days, please contact ikan for service. [email protected].

question
Does Ikan DH5e work well with the Z CAMERA E1 (in 1080p and 4K) ? Thanks !
The things to look for is what are the camera resolutions and FPS rates and is there a match on the monitor. In this case there is a match for almost all of what the camera makes. The camera: 4096 x 2160 / 24 fps, 3840 x 2160 / 24, 25, 30 fps, 2880 x 2160 / 24, 25, 30 fps, 1920 x 1920 / 24, 25, 30 fps, 1920 x 1440 / 24, 25, 30 fps, 1920 x 1080 / 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 fps, 1280 x 720 / 50, 60, 240 fps, 840 x 480 / 25, 30 fps. The monitor:4096 x 2160 24, 3840 x 2160 24/25/30, 1080p 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60, 1080PsF 23.98/24/25/29.97/30, 1080i 50/59.94/60, 720p, 23.98/24/25/29.97/30/50/59.94/60, 576p 50, 480p 60, NTSC, PAL.

question
How is the audio monitoring? Any delay? Is does it have a decent amp? I am trying to use with a camera that has no headphone jack.
The ikan DH5e 5 HDMI On-Camera Monitor is a very affordable solution for on camera monitoring. As such, it does not have high-end audio features as audio monitoring delay and the amp is commensurate to the price as well, I.E. it is serviceable but not pro level.
