1500:1 contrast/10 bit IPS LCD panel
The display panel is an IPS LCD with LED backlight and offers high brightness, a high contrast ratio (1500:1), a wide viewing angle (178º vertical and horizontal), excellent motion-image response, and outstanding color reproduction. Full-HD (1920×1080) resolution displays all input pixels without resizing. And 10 bit processing assures faithful gradation reproduction.
Multi-format/multi-input compatibility
•Multi-Format Compatibility: Compatible with various image formats (see the table). Input signals are automatically detected and displayed.
•Multi-Input Compatibility: Comes standard with two SDI (3G/HD/ SD) inputs, one analog composite input, and one HDMI input.
Two SDI outputs can also be set to input to enable all four inputs via SDI.
•Two-Screen Video Display: Any two desired input images can be displayed side by side with two screens.
Embedded audio for simple down-mixing
Embedded audio in the SDI and HDMI input can be automatically detected and output to the built-in stereo speakers, headphone jacks, or two line-out channels. The output pair channels can be selected and displayed in the level meter. The 5.1-channel surround sound can be easily down-mixed according to the down-mixing ratios by ARIB and ISO/IEC, and output as stereo sound.
External memory functions
Menu settings, preset data, user markers, and full-screen capture grab data can be stored on a USB flash drive. By copying and using other BT-LH1770P settings data, multiple monitors can be easily set. The data can also be managed with a personal computer.
Two-screen/full-screen comparison displays for multiple camera operation
Two screens of capture images (stills) and input images (videos) can be displayed on the two screens of both sides, or split onto the full screen for comparison. This is convenient for adjusting the image quality of multiple cameras,
and aligning image positions. Up to 100 sets of capture screen data can be saved onto a USB flash drive, so the coloring and position of previously captured images and cameras can be easily aligned.
Functions to assist in monitor adjustment
•Built-in Test Signals: Color bar (with lamp indication), pluge, grayscale with pluge, 100% window, 20% gray, -6.8% to 0%, 100% to 109% test signals comes standard. The monitor can be adjusted individually.
•Mix Test Signal Function: The
pluge signal/100% to 109% signal can be displayed on a sub-screen to precisely adjust the brightness and contrast while displaying the image.
• White Balance Assist: The front
switches can be assigned to direct switches for white balance adjustment, to enable fast and easy adjustment.
Dot-by-dot display/Zoom display
•Dot-by-Dot Display: By displaying the image pixels 1:1 against the LCD panel pixels without resizing the input image, you can check for lost pixels along the transmission path and scratches on the image sensor. (During normal scan of the 1080/p input signal.)
•Zoom: The selected image section can be displayed in an enlarged size of x2 or x4. This enables a detailed image check and also helps when focusing.
WFM/VS/TC/CC* and other information display
•WFM/VS: Waveform Monitor (WFM) and Vectorscope (VS) can be displayed.
•TC/CC*: Time code (VITC/LTC) and closed caption embedded in the SDI signal can be displayed.
• User IMD/UMD: Any desired name (up to 8 characters in length)
can be set for each input (SDI-A, SDI-B, VBS, HDMI). This can be displayed when switching inputs.
*Supported by a software upgrade. Scheduled for March, 2018.
USB mouse control
