Panasonic’s BT series new LCD monitors can
meet the needs from professional market.
Comprising three HD/SD models and one
dedicated SD model, the BT series is
designed for professionals. These models
combine the thinprofile and light weight

that distinguish LCD monitors with the superior
picture quality and performance needed for
broadcasting use. They are equipped to serve
in a studio, OB van, non-linear editing system,
or on location in the field.

Broadcast-Quality Gradation: Each Monitor
Individually Adjusted

Panasonic adjusts each BT series monitor individually for 256 gradation
steps* in its independent R, G, and B signals. This is your assurance
that each monitor delivers broadcast-quality gradation, with
standardized gamma characteristics of g = 2.2.
The industry-standard D65 or D93 color temperatures can be selected
to match colors and gradation when multiple monitors are used.
*BT-LS series monitors have 8 gradation steps.

Colors on CRT monitors appear
different from those on LCD monitors
due to slight differences in the
monitors’ chromatic ranges. BT-LH
series models use a technology
called color space conversion to
produce the same EBU-based colors
as a CRT.
