Flat LCD Panel with Separate
Signal-processing Unit
The separate type LUMA monitors consist of extremely thin
and lightweight LCD displays, and a highly advanced signalprocessing unit (MEU-WX2 Multiformat Engine Unit). This
'separate unit' design offers two significant benefits – it
allows the LCD display to be made as thin and as lightweight
as possible, and enables flexible placement of display controls
and interface connectors. The LCD display and Multiformat
Engine Unit are connected via a single multi-pin cable*, up to
10 meters long (optional), which avoids having multiple
cables hanging from the LCD displays themselves. The
optional SU-558 monitor stand has a biaxial joint in its neck
assembly, allowing the LCD displays to be positioned at
various heights and tilt angles.
* The LMD-232W, LMD-212, LMD-172W, and LMD-152 are supplied with one
1.8-meter cable, and the LMD-322W with one 3.0-meter cable.

Superb Picture Performance
High Purity Color Filters
The separate type LUMA monitors use precisely manufactured
RGB color filters, allowing the reproduction of colors with
stunning depth and saturation – creating highly natural images.
Accurate Gamma and Stable White Balance
- ChromaTRU Color Processing
For an extra level of color reproduction accuracy, every LCD panel
used in the separate type LUMA Series is precisely color calibrated
at the factory, providing consistent characteristics extremely close
to CRT displays.
The colorimetry of an LCD display, by nature, can exhibit
inaccurate R, G, B color coordinates and unbalanced R, G, B
gamma curves, which can make precise color matching between
multiple monitors a challenge. These are also the primary reasons
why LCD color tone can slightly differ from CRTs.
The separate type LUMA monitors solve this problem by precisely
calibrating each LCD panel's light output so that the R, G, B color
coordinates are extremely close to those of a CRT monitor. A
second calibration is further applied so that white balance is
maintained at a consistent color temperature throughout all
grayscale levels.
The result of these precise calibrations is color reproduction
reminiscent of Sony CRT displays.
CIE Color Coordinates
Sophisticated I/P Conversion using X-Algorithm*
All LCD monitors require two processes to map an interlace
signal to the progressive LCD pixel array – I/P conversion and
line scaling. The former converts the interlace signal to a
progressive signal and the latter converts the input signal's
line count to match the LCD pixel array. HD/SD-compatible
monitors use LCD panels with resolutions higher than the SD
signal. This means that the I/P process must be handled with
great accuracy to keep its effect to a minimum after the line
scaling.
Conventional LCD monitors conduct the I/P conversion simply
by combining two adjacent picture fields into one picture
frame. This method is effective for static areas of the image,
but can often result in jagged shape noise along the oblique
direction of fast-moving objects.
To avoid this, the separate type LUMA models incorporate
Sony's original X-Algorithm technology, which uses a pictureadaptive Still Mode and Motion Mode for the I/P conversion.
By examining the pixels in preceding fields, the I/P conversion
will operate in either Still or Motion Mode. For pixels where
motion is not detected, the I/P conversion will simply copy
pixels from the preceding field to create the absent scanning
line.
In contrast, when motion is detected, picture frames are
created from the interlace signal on a field basis by
interpolating the missing pixels of every other line.
X-Algorithm intelligently examines a significant area
surrounding the missing pixel and uses the most logical pixels
above, below, or in the diagonal direction of the moving
picture part to insert a natural scanning line.
The direct result of X-Algorithm – much smoother image
reproduction for both still and moving areas of interlace SD
signals.
* X-Algorithm is not used for HD signal input.
The CIE u’ v’ chart is used to evaluate the light output of display
devices. In this diagram, the raw light output of a Sony LCD panel is
compared with that of a Sony CRT. The triangular areas show their
different color reproduction capabilities (Color Space). The green and
red dots indicate the color of light output from a Sony LCD panel and
that from a Sony CRT for certain RGB input signals. Note that the
same light color is not obtained for the same video input. The
ChromaTRU process, on the other hand, reproduces consistent light
output extremely close to that of a CRT.

Excellent Brightness and Contrast
While conventional LCD monitors can tend to be dark, the
separate type LUMA monitors provide high-brightness and highcontrast images by use of super-wide aperture LCD panels.
Extremely Wide Viewing Angle
The separate type LUMA monitors offer the most stable
images within the LUMA Series when viewed from various
angles. They offer a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees,
horizontally and vertically, with virtually no reduction in
picture contrast, color saturation, and hue shift. This allows
precise images to be clearly viewed from various positions and
angles – a critical requirement in professional video
monitoring.
Separate Type
AR (Anti-Reflection) Coated Protection Panel
The LCD panels of the separate type LUMA models use a
robust AR-coated protection layer, which minimizes the chance
of the panel being scratched during transportation. The AR
coating additionally has two unique characteristics: it provides
a high transmission rate of the internal light source to keep
the picture as bright as possible, and it keeps reflection from
ambient light to a minimum. As a result, when used in bright
lighting conditions, high contrast is still maintained even in
dark areas of the picture – a clear benefit over CRT monitors.
Operational Convenience
Advanced Marker Settings
The separate type LUMA Series can display various area
markers, including a center marker, aspect markers, and a
safety zone marker. The brightness of these markers can be
selected from three different levels, white, gray, and dark gray.
What's more, users can select either a black or gray matte to
fill the outer area of the aspect markers.
These flexible marker controls, together with the choice of
many different aspect markers, make the separate type LUMA
Series an extremely convenient display device for a variety of
shooting scenarios – from standard video acquisition to digital
cinematography.

16:9 and 4:3 according to the input signal.
Three-color Tally
All separate type LUMA panels, excluding the LMD-322W,
come equipped with a tally lamp that can be lit up via a
parallel remote connector. The status of the signal displayed
on the monitor can be identified by the tally color – red,
green, or amber.
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) for Computer Input
The image size can be automatically adjusted to its optimal
setting with the one-touch APA key.
Parallel Remote Control
The MEU-WX2 can be controlled remotely via its parallel
remote connector. There are 31 functions in the remote
menu (such as the ability to switch input signals), of which
seven can be allocated to the connector.

Stereo Audio Monitoring
The MEU-WX2 is equipped with stereo speakers (0.5 W + 0.5
W), which enable the user to monitor audio.
Protected Controls
The key-inhibit function helps prevent inadvertent operations
from the control panel.
Convenient Installation
By nature, the use of LCD technology in the LUMA Series
eliminates many concerns inherent in CRT monitors. These
include convergence alignments, geometric distortion, flicker, and
image burn-in. The LUMA Series is also completely resistant to
magnetic fields, making them easier to install than CRT monitors.
Mounting Flexibility
Mountable in a 19-inch EIA Standard Rack
(LMD-212/LMD-172W/LMD152)
The LMD-172W (7U high) and LMD-152 (7U) can be mounted in a
19-inch EIA standard rack with the optional MB-522A and MB-524
Mounting Bracket, respectively. The MEU-WX2 (1U high) can be
mounted in a 19-inch EIA standard rack with the supplied
mounting bracket. Although wider than the 19-inch rack, the
LMD-212 (10U high) can also be rack-mounted using the optional
MB-523 Mounting Bracket.
Mounting the LMD-322W
The large screen LMD-322W can also be mounted on the optional
SU-559 Floor Stand or on a wall using the mounting hooks (330 x
330 mm pitch) on the rear of the display.
VESA Mounting
Complying with VESA standards, the LMD-232W, LMD-212,
LMD-172W, and LMD-152W can easily be mounted (75 x 75
mm pitch) on a wall or a ceiling. Although large in screen size,
these monitors are thin and lightweight because the signalprocessing circuitry is contained in the separate MEU-WX2.
In addition, the arm of the displays can be adjusted with
more flexibility because only one cable is required to connect
the display to the MEU-WX2.

Input Versatility
As standard, all one-piece type LUMA monitors come equipped with a full
range of analog SD inputs including analog composite NTSC and PAL, Y/C
(S-Video), and 525i/625i component and RGB.
The LMD-2020 and LMD-1420 add the further capability of SD-SDI input
through the use of the optional BKM-320D SD-SDI input adaptor.
The one-piece type LUMA monitors incorporate VGA-type LCD
panels with 640 x 480 pixel resolution for precise reproduction
of interlace SD video images.
To display an interlace signal on a progressive LCD monitor, it
must first be converted to a progressive signal (I/P conversion).
In this process, the absent lines of the interlace field are
interpolated using data from the previous field, or data from
adjacent lines within the same field. A second process, called
'line scaling' is then executed to match the input signal's line
count to the vertical resolution of the LCD display. However,
since scaling involves duplication or removal of scanning lines,
it can have a large effect on picture quality in image areas
where I/P conversion is difficult to achieve. This effect can only
be suppressed to a negligible level using highly sophisticated
but costly I/P conversion technology.
To minimize this effect while maintaining best quality-per-cost
value, the LMD-2020, LMD-1420, LMD-2010, and LMD-1410
use specially selected VGA (640 x 480 pixels) LCDs that allow
moderate scaling to be used for the reproduction of 525 and
625 interlace signals. The result is extremely precise image
reproduction of interlace SD signals, for any type of picture
content – and without the use of expensive I/P conversion
technology.
Excellent Brightness and Contrast
The one-piece type LUMA monitors provide high-brightness
and high-contrast images by use of wide aperture LCD panels.
In addition, the use of precisely manufactured RGB color filters
allows these monitors to reproduce colors with stunning depth

high contrast. These LCD panels also offer a wide viewing
angle, both vertically and horizontally.
Operational Convenience
Selectable Aspect Ratio (LMD-7220W only)
The scan aspect ratio of the displays on the LMD-7220W can
be switched between 16:9 and 4:3 by pressing a button on
the front panel.
Three-color Tally
The LMD-7220W, LMD-5320, and LMD-4420 come equipped
with a tally lamp that can be lit up via a parallel remote
connector. The status of the signal displayed on the monitor
can be identified by the tally color – red, green, or amber.
Parallel Remote Control
The multi-display type LUMA monitors can be controlled
remotely via their parallel remote connector. There are 5
functions (LMD-7220W)/4 functions (LMD-5320/LMD-4420) in
the remote menu (such as the ability to switch input signals),
which can be allocated to the connector.

Multi-display Type
Low Power Consumption
Compared to conventional CRT multiple monitors, multidisplay type LUMA monitors offer drastic reductions in power
consumption and room-cooling requirements. This is a huge
bonus in applications where power consumption is critical,
such as OB van installations.
Slim and Light
Thanks to their thin and lightweight designs, the multi-display type
LUMA monitors are ideal for installations where space is limited.
All multi-display type LUMA monitors are mountable on a
19-inch EIA standard rack. For viewing convenience, the
LMD-7220W and LMD-5320 offer a 5-step tilt mechanism,
and the LMD-4420 offers a 3-step tilt mechanism.
And like all other LUMA monitors, they eliminate the many
concerns inherent to CRT monitors, including convergence
misalignments, geometric distortion, flicker, image burn-in,
and the effect of magnetic fields.
