Fulfilling Your Master Monitoring Needs Even Further – the

BVM-L230

TRIMASTER LCD Monitor

Responding to the continued demands for a true master monitor, Sony introduces the BVM-L230, a 23-inch*

LCD master monitor that uses Sony exclusive TRIMASTER ™ technology.

Designed from the foundation of the market-acclaimed BVM CRT evaluation monitors, the BVM-L230 has been designed to inherit and surpass its CRT predecessors – in both image quality and operational performance.

The stunning quality of the BVM-L230 is only made possible by the use of three newly developed Sony technologies – a high-grade, 10 bit 23-inch* full resolution LCD panel, a new precision backlight system and an exclusive new display engine – all of which have been optimised for producing images at master monitor quality on a flat-panel platform. By combining such devices with sophisticated colour management algorithms and advanced feedback systems, the BVM-L230 achieves highly precise colour reproduction, image consistency and image uniformity to the same degree – or higher – as its CRT predecessors.

For monitor setup and control, the

BVM-L230 retains the same operational convenience as the BVM CRT series, including its remote-control panel design and features such as Auto

White Balance, Blue Channel Display,

Monochrome Display, RGB Cut Off, H/V delay, Chroma Up and Safety Markers.

The BVM-L230 also takes maximum advantage of its new signal processing technology, enabling unprecedented performance for today’s new master monitoring needs. Such features include a newly developed colour gamut emulation function, a unique

Picture & Picture display function, a wide variety of PC and A/V input capabilities from VGA to WUXGA and from composite to 2K XYZ 4:4:4 display, a Modular Control System and an Interlace Display Mode. Where top-quality monitoring is a necessity, the BVM-L230 is the ideal solution of choice from high-end acquisi- tion, production, post-production and broadcast monitoring, right through to

Telecine applications.

Main Features

The BVM-L230 incorporates three unique technologies that have been customised for exclusive use in this monitor: a high-grade 23-inch* full resolution LCD panel, a precision backlight system, and a unique professional display engine not found in any other monitor. This has resulted in the highly reliable BVM-L230, which offers the accurate colour reproduction, precision imaging and quality picture consistency required by today’s most demanding master monitoring applications. Using these technologies, the BVM-L230 not only achieves the quality of its predecessor BVM-A and

BVM-D Series CRT monitors, but also adds innovative features for today’s new master monitoring needs.

Superb Picture Quality and Stable Colour Temperature

Accurate Colour Reproduction

Nonlinear Cubic Conversion Colour

Management System

The nonlinear cubic conversion colour management system of the BVM-L230 uses a unique 3-D LUT (look-up table) to reproduce an extremely wide colour gamut, thus offering more accurate colour reproduction. It offers highly accurate chromaticity throughout the entire grayscale. The combination of its high-purity LED backlight system, together with this colour management system, allows the BVM-L230 to accurately reproduce colour gamut that replicate broadcast standards such as ITU-R BT.709, and EBU and SMPTE-C phosphor standards. In addition, the

BVM-L230 offers a unique “WIDE” gamut that reproduces a wider colour space.

This can be used to monitor content intended for applications other than direct broadcast, and it can also emulate the D-Cine* colour gamut used in digital cinema production. Compared to past CRT monitors, which offer only one colour gamut per model, the

BVM-L230 allows these colour gamuts to be selected and reproduced on the same monitor – a feature only made possible by the technologies used in the Sony BVM-L230 monitor.

Ultra-high precision Uniformity Correction

Typically, LCD monitors exhibit poor uniformity performance. With the

BVM-L230, white can be reproduced uniformly at every point of the screen.

This is due to the use of two advanced technologies: precise adjustment of the

LCD panel characteristics and sophisticated LED backlight control. At the factory, grayscale levels are precisely measured at each area of the panel and if differences are detected between areas, they are accurately corrected by electrical means. Secondly, the sophisticated LED backlight system also contributes to the BVM-L230’s high level of uniformity. This is because RGB sensors are aligned together with the

R, G and B LEDs of the backlight to constantly monitor and control the luminance level of each backlight colour. When inconsistent luminance is detected, the colour feedback system adjusts the light intensity of the corresponding LEDs – red, green, or blue –in that specific area to maintain accurate luminance uniformity of the backlight.

These two technologies combined together allow the BVM-L230 monitor to provide an extra level of uniformity.

Input Board Slots

Flexible Input Configuration

Like the BVM-A Series CRT monitors, the BVM-L230 uses a modular slot design, so inputs can be configured according to individual needs. Four input board slots are available. Optional input boards* can be installed in any board slot, and in any combination, allowing easier configuration and better cost-per-input value. These option boards utilise only one slot each, so up to four cards can be installed for maximum flexibility.

* The BVM-L230 input boards are not compatible with other earlier BVM-A Series CRT monitors. They are compatible with the LMD Series.

Three Key Devices Enabling Master Monitor Picture Quality

Customised LCD Panel – 23-inch*

Full HD Resolution

Precision Backlight System Professional Display Engine

The LCD panel has been developed exclusively for use on the BVM-L230, based on strict master monitor criteria.

It offers a 10-bit driver and other highlevel specifications such as high operating frame rates and high-speed response.

* 22.5-inch viewable area, measured diagonally.

Using Sony-designed high-purity LEDs, the precision backlight system is also a development used exclusively in the BVM-L230. This enables the widest colour gamut ever offered in a Sony monitor and fully covers broadcaststandard colour spaces. The precision backlight system also incorporates a uniformity control function and a colour feedback system.

The high-precision signal processing engine has been developed to fulfill master monitor criteria and is optimised for use on the BVM-L230. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process and provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm and a highly accurate colour management system.

Operational Convenience

The BVM-L230 is equipped with the same acclaimed functions and operational conveniences of its predecessors, the

BVM-A Series and BVM-D Series CRT master monitors. However, it also has some additional unique features, which are only made possible by Sony flat-panel technology.

The BVM-L230 monitor and the BKM-16R controller attached with the BKM-37H attachment stand.

Modular Monitor Control Unit (BKM-16R)

Like the earlier BVM Series, the monitor and control panel are provided as separate units, allowing greater flexibility in system integration. The BVM-L230 incorporates a new Monitor Control Unit, the BKM-16R, which can be attached below the monitor using the optional Controller Attachment Stand, the BKM-37H, or connected remotely via an Ethernet cable.

Ethernet-based Remote Control

Like the BVM-A* Series monitors and controller, the BVM-L230 monitor and the BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit are equipped with an Ethernet port, allowing remote control of display parameters across a standard Ethernet connection.

One BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit can control up to thirty-two (32) BVM monitors.

* The BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit can also control the BVM-A Series CRT monitors.

* A Future Feature (by spring 2008)

09

The unique Picture & Picture function of the BVM-L230 allows simultaneous display of two input signals on its LCD screen. This function is extremely convenient for making instant adjustments between two input sources, since there is no need to individually adjust the different characteristics of two monitors. This function comes in handy for adjustments between two cameras, special effects creation, time-lapse shooting and computergenerated graphics work. The BVM-L230 offers four Picture & Picture modes:

Side by Side

The two picture images are downscaled using a digital filter and displayed side by side. This feature is convenient when making white balance adjustments and/or determining shooting angles between two cameras.

WIPE

The area of the two pictures to be displayed is selected using a vertical

WIPE pattern, which is controlled from the BKM-16R. This function is useful when picture details of the two images must be examined on a pixel basis. This is normally used when looking at still images.

Native Scan (pixel to pixel display)

Conventional flat-panel monitors reproduce images using scaling and I/P conversion due to their fixed pixel counts and progressive scanning processes. The

Native Scan function equipped on the

BVM-L230 is a unique display mode that reproduces images without changing the input signal’s pixel count. For example, when an SD signal is input, the

BVM-L230 will reproduce the image at a picture size of 720 x 487* pixels, and when an interlace signal is input, the BVM-L230 will reproduce interlace fields**. For

SD input in particular, the Native Scan function also allows the image’s display size to be doubled to 1440 x 974*, by duplicating and doubling each pixel both horizontally and vertically.

* 525/59.94i signal specified by Rec. ITU-R BT.601

** The brightness of the picture remains unchanged due to the precision backlight system

Butterfly

The two inputs are displayed as linesymmetric images on the left and right halves of the screen. By controlling the

H position, the two images can be moved inward to the middle of the screen. Instant comparisons can be made without having to move one's eyes. This makes comparison of moving images very easy.

Blending

The two picture images are overlapped for display. The mix ratio is adjustable. This function is useful when verifying whether a foreground signal is accurately keyed into the background signal, or when combining shoots with live action and computer-generated effects.

Variety of Display Modes

Most flat-panel monitors can only display progressive images at the input signal’s frame rate. In addition to this conventional display method, the BVM-L230 has two unique display modes: Black Frame Insertion Display and Interlace Display.

Black Frame Insertion Display*

Combining its high frame-rate opera- tion with a unique Black Frame

Insertion technology, the BVM-L230 dramatically reduces motion blur, an artefact that is inherent to LCD devices.

Black Frame Insertion technology generates a “black” frame and inserts this in every other picture frame. As a result, all of the panel’s LCD molecules are reset to their default alignments, before the next picture frame is displayed. This effectively eliminates the image lag caused by inconsistencies in the speed at which LCD molecules are realigned in accordance with the video signal change. Because the number of frames is doubled, Black Frame Insertion Display reproduces the combined picture content at twice the speed of the input signal’s frame rate**.

Interlace Display*

The Interlace Display mode of the

BVM-L230 can display interlace input signals as interlace fields. As with the

Native Scan function, the Interlace

Display mode offers faithful repro- duction of the input signal and the displayed interlace fields are free from picture degradation.

* The brightness of the picture can be maintained

by the precision backlight system.

** The frame rates of 120 Hz and 100 Hz

are supported.

+12dB Chroma Up function

A “Chroma UP” button located on the BKM-16R front panel allows the

Chroma Level to be boosted by +12 dB.

This is a convenient feature for adjusting camera white balance with a higher degree of accuracy.

16:9 Mask

Like the earlier BVM Series CRT monitors, the BVM-L230 monitor can display various markers, including an aspect marker, safe area marker, and centre marker. In addition to this flexible selection of marker types, detailed display settings of each marker are offered.

For example, the colour, the brightness, horizontal/ vertical position and width of aspect markers can all be controlled, while the height and width of safe area markers can be adjusted.

What’s more, users can also choose to display two safe area markers, each selectable between three marker variations. These flexible marker controls, together with the choice of many different marker types such as aspect marker types (lines or aspect blanking) and centre marker types (long or short), make the BVM-L230 monitor the perfect all-round display device for a variety of shooting scenarios – from SD/

HD video acquisition to digtal cinema- tography.

Easy Setup and Adjustment

Auto White Balance

The colour temperature and white balance of the BVM-L230 monitor can be automatically adjusted by the

Auto White Balance function using the specified colour temperature probes*, such as the Konica Minolta CA-210,

DK-Technologies PM5639/06 and X-Rite

Eye-One Pro.

* Requires a connector to connect each of the colour analysers.

Auto Chroma/Phase Adjustment

An Auto Chroma/Phase/Matrix setup function is provided which automatically adjusts the monitor’s chroma, phase and matrix using external colour bars.

Colour Temperature Selection

The Colour Temperature can be se- lected from D65, D93, D61, D56, D-Cine*, or User1 to User5. A “Colour Temp”

(Colour Temperature) button located on the BKM-16R front panel enables instant access to the “Colour Temp menu” without using the On-Screen menu.

* D-Cine: x=0.314, y=0.351

Aspect Switch

The aspect ratio can be switched between 4:3, 16:9, 2.39: 1, and 1.869:1 depending on the input signal.
