Overview

The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E Trinitron®1) Color Video Monitor is a high-performance 14-inch color video monitor. This monitor is suitable for television stations or video production houses, where precise image reproduction is required.

1)Trinitron® is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.

Features

High resolution picture tube

The HR Trinitron picture tube produces a clear, high resolution image.

Aperture grill pitch: 14F5U/14F5E 0.25 mm 14E5U/14E5E 0.22 mm

Resolution at the center of the picture:

14F5U/14F5E 800 TV lines 14E5U/14E5E 900 TV Lines

Controlling monitor groups

Up to 32 monitors can be controlled from the BVM14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E. First, using the monitor menus, assign a monitor address number to each monitor, divide the monitors into groups, and assign a group number to each group. Then you can use the BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E to control individual monitors or monitor groups simply by entering monitor address or group numbers. You can also execute the same operation on all connected monitors, or use the BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/ 14E5E to put all connected monitors into the same setup and adjustment state.

Setup and adjustment with the monitor memory card

You can use an optional BKM-12Y Monitor Memory Card to save and load monitor setup and adjustment data. If your system includes more than one monitor, you can use the monitor memory cards to exchange data between monitors. This makes it easy to put all monitors in your system into the same setup and adjustment state.

Standard auto alignment system

Decoder chroma and phase adjustment, as well as color temperature control, may be performed with the auto alignment system. This makes it possible to coordinate settings among multiple monitors.

Expandable input capability

The input connector configuration may be easily modified by simply sliding optional decoder adaptors or input expansion adaptors into input option slots at the rear of the monitor. The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/ 14E5U/14E5E may be fitted with up to four adaptors.

4:3/16:9 dual aspect ratio design

The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E can be changed to either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio with just a simple switching operation. The screen can be also changed to 4:3 or 16:9 display by the replacement of a mask (no tools required).

Stable color temperature

The internal beam current feedback circuit maintains a constant color temperature over long periods of time.

Blue-only mode convenient for monitoring noise

All three CRT cathodes can be driven with a blue signal, producing a monochrome display. This mode is convenient for chroma and phase adjustment, and for monitoring VTR noise.

Menu operation

The monitor’s various functions and operating conditions can be set with on-screen menus.

Other features

•Compatible with the ISR (Interactive Status Reporting) system.

•Has both RS-485 serial remote and relay contact parallel remote control connectors.

•Built-in safe area display and test signal generator for crosshatch, 100% white signal, 20% gray signal, gray scale, and PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generating Equipment).

•Built-in VITC (Vertical Interval Time Code) reader.

•Built-in Closed Caption decoder.

•Pulse cross function for simultaneous checking of the horizontal and vertical synchronization signals. VITS (Vertical Interval Test Signal) checking is also possible.

•Auto and manual degaussing.

•Built-in CRT protection circuit.

•The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E may be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack, using an optional BKM-30E14 Rack Mount Kit..

•Controllable from the optional BKM-11R Monitor Control Unit. (For details about connection and operation, refer to the BKM-11R Operation Manual).

The input signal type for each connector is set with the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu, in accordance with the configuration of the connector panel.

BKM-28X Analog Input Expansion Adaptor

Used with decoder adaptors, increases the number of input/output channels. Includes input/output connectors for six analog channels. The input signal type for each connector is set with the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu, in accordance with the configuration of the connector panel.

4

Connector Panel Configuration

The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E comes

standard with connectors for one channel of Y/R–Y/B– Y or RGB. By adding optional decoder adaptors and/

or input expansion adaptors, the input/output connector panel can be assembled in a wide variety of configurations.

The signals that each of the adaptors’ connectors supports are given in the table below. The type of signal to be applied to each input/output connector is set with the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu.

When the type of input signal determines, each connector of the installed adaptors is connected with the decoder for the corresponding signal over an internal bus. Therefore, if one decoder adaptor for a signal is installed, the signal input from any connector of the installed adaptors can be decoded.

Notes

•Only one BKM-22X board can be installed in the monitor together with either the BKM-20D or the BKM-21D.

•The BKM-20D, BKM-21D, and BKM-22X can not provide proper active-through outputs if a signal whose format is not selected in the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu is input. (If AUTO is selected, input a signal which has the same format with the signal monitored last.)

For information about the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu, see “Setting the Input Configuration —INPUT CONFIGURATION Menu” on page 32.

Overview

Decoder Adaptor Priority

The table on the right shows which decoder adaptor will be selected preferentially when more than one decoder adaptor which can accept the NTSC or PAL signal format have been installed in the monitor.

For example, when a BKM-24N and a BKM-27T are installed and an NTSC signal is selected, the NTSC signal connected to the BKM-24N’s input connectors and the NTSC signal connected to the BKM-27T’s input connectors are both processed by the decoder on the BKM-24N.

Note on using the BKM-20D/21D

When one of the input option slots on the rear of the monitor has a BKM-20D/21D SDI Decoder Adaptor (option) installed, if the slot to the right has another adaptor or the analog input connectors board installed,

or a cover plate fitted (see Fig. 1), the radiation shield (see Fig. 2) of the BKM-20D/21D may be damaged or detached.
