with functions and specifications for versatile operation,
this 16.5-inch Full-HD LCD Video monitor
is ideal for broadcasting applications.
The BT-LH1770P provides superb image quality with an IPS
LCD panel delivering high brightness, a high contrast ratio
(1500:1), Full-HD (1920×1080) resolution and faithful gradation
due to 10 bit processing. It is mountable in a 19-inch rack, and
maintains excellent mobility with AC/DC/battery drive, ideal for
wide-ranging broadcast applications, from transmission studio
to on-location acquisition and live feeds. Also equipped with
versatile display functions, including user markers and a
Waveform Monitor (WFM), it features an external memory
function for conveniently operating multiple monitors, and
operation by a USB mouse. These and a host of other functions
support various types of operation.
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-FormatCompatibility: Compatible with various image
formats (see the table). Input signals are automatically detected
and displayed.
•Multi-InputCompatibility: 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-ScreenVideoDisplay: 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.
Both-Side Two-Screen Display
Functions to assist in monitor adjustment

grayscale with pluge, 100% window, 20% gray, -6.8% to 0%,

adjusted individually.
•MixTestSignalFunction: 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.
•WhiteBalanceAssist: 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-DotDisplay: 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) and Vectorscope (VS) can
be displayed.
•TC/CC*: Time code (VITC/LTC)
and closed caption embedded in
the SDI signal can be displayed.
•UserIMD/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.

•SafetyMarkers: Settings in 1% increments can be made over
80% to 99% of the area relative to the total effective area, or
relative to the area inside the line markers.

layout and positioning of various
types of information, such as, for
example, TV shopping. Drawing is
simplified by using a USB mouse.

Up to 12 types can be used per
scene, making a maximum of 120 types. The user markers that
have been created can be copied to other BT-LH1770P monitors
via USB flash drive, and managed by a personal computer.
AC/DC/battery operation and 19-inch rack mount
In addition to AC operation, the BT-LH1770P supports DC
operation by batteries and so on. It is also mountable in a 19-inch
rack using optional rack mount brackets. This makes it highly
practical for acquisition requiring high mobility, such as on-location
shooting or live feeds.
