Using the CD-ROM Manual / Precautions
58
Handling the Screen
On a Long Period of Use
• The panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of
at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels
may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red,
green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long
period of use, because of the physical characteristics of
the panel, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously.
These problems are not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage
the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a
window.
• Do not push or scratch the monitor’s screen. Do not place
a heavy object on the monitor’s screen. This may cause
the screen to lose uniformity.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On Burn-in
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the OLED
panel for its high-precision images, permanent burn-in may
occur if still images are displayed in the same position on
the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended
periods.
Images that may cause burn-in
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or
the operating state
• On-screen displays such as center markers or area
markers
To reduce the risk of burn-in
• Turn off the character and marker displays
Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays.
To turn off the character or marker displays of the
connected equipment, operate the connected equipment
accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of
the connected equipment.
• Turn off the power when not in use
Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used for
a prolonged period of time.
Screen saver
This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce
burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more
than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and
the brightness of the screen decreases.
Due to an OLED’s panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause image
smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio, may
shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around the
outlet of an air conditioner.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
Handling and Maintenance of the
Screen
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce
image reflection. Make sure to observe the following
points as improper maintenance procedures may impair the
screen’s performance. In addition, the screen is vulnerable
to damage. Do not scratch or knock against it using a hard
object.
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet before performing maintenance.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
touch the screen directly.
• Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied
cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied
cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a
mild detergent solution.
• The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is
dusty.
• Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner, acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with
abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may damage the
screen.
• Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.
Precautions
59
On Dew Condensation
If the viewfinder is moved suddenly from a cold place to a
warm place, or used in a room with high humidity, water
droplets may form on the interior of the product. This
Chapter 1
phenomenon is known as dew condensation.
This product does not come with a feature that warns users
of dew condensation. If water droplets are found on the
casing, turn off the power, and wait until the condensation
disappears before using.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
Disposal of the Unit
Do not dispose of the unit with general waste.
Do not include the monitor with household waste.
When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law
in the relative area or country.
On Fan Error
The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan stops
and the OPERATE lamp flashes in red, the OVER RANGE
lamp flashes in amber, and the ECO lamp lights in magenta
on the front panel for fan error indication, turn off the
power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact
your Sony service representative.

Advantages of OLED panel technology
The OLED panel makes use of an organic material, which
emits light when an electric current is applied. Being selfemitting, the strength of luminescence can be controlled by
the amount of electric current. This brings about the
following three features:
Quick motion picture response:
The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be changed
instantaneously by changing the current flow in the organic
material. This enables a quick motion picture response and
production of images with minimal blurring and ghosting.
Furthermore, performance for shooting on location is not
influenced by changes in environmental temperature.
High contrast and wide dynamic range:
The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal is
applied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to be
displayed. Furthermore, thanks to a wide dynamic range
the panel impressively displays brilliance and clarity of
various sparkling images, such as stars in a night sky
twinkling, night illuminations winking or glass glittering,
etc.
Rich color reproduction:
An OLED panel’s self-luminescence also allows for great
color reproduction across the entire spectrum in practically
any shade or brightness.
Sony’s Super Top Emission
The 25-type (BVM-F250) or 16.5-type (BVM-F170) full
HD (1920 × 1080) OLED panel features Sony’s Super Top
Emission structure. Unlike the conventional bottom

OLED panel
emission structure of TFT, Sony’s OLED panel can
reproduce a crisper image due to high brightness.
Furthermore, a unique microcavity structure makes RGB
primary colors purer and deeper by utilizing light
resonance effects that magnify optimum light wave lengths
and diminish undesired light wave lengths.
The panel’s 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of color
shading.
2) “Super Top Emission” is a trademark that represents the OLED
technology of Sony Corporation.

use
The panel is equipped with a unique signal process engine
developed for the professional use monitor. This engine
incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and
provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling
processing, panel driving and a highly accurate color
management system.
Multi color space
The Sony’s unique OLED panel with a wide color gamut
and color management system which uses the unique 3D
LUT (Look Up Table) reproduces the color space that
complies with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBU
and SMPTE-C accurately. A wider color space

allows
digital cinema reproductions.
3) The RGB chromaticity of SMPTE RP 431-2 is not covered in full.
High-quality I/P conversion processing
A high-quality picture near the original one, in which
jagged lines and conversion errors are decreased by
detecting the feature of the picture inside the subdivided
block and processing properly, is reproduced.
The signal delay is decreased by judging the animation or
still picture from the past video signal.
Interlace display mode
The interlace signal is displayed as the interlace picture by
inserting the black line without I/P conversion processing.
A picture faithful to the original signal and with the same
feel as a CRT is gained.
For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” on
the Operation Manual.
Available to a multi signal format
The monitor supports various input signals such as 720 ×
576/50i to 1920 × 1080/50P, 60P and variable computer
signals up to 1920 × 1080. The 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs,

by side mode is useful for adjusting the color or comparing
two pictures.
For the operation, see “Displaying Two Signals on One
Screen (Picture&Picture)” on the Operation Manual.
Pixel zoom function
As part of the picture is magnified up to 8 times without
scaling processing, this is convenient for confirming a
minute part of the signal.
For the operation, see “Magnifying the Picture (Pixel
Zoom)” on the Operation Manual.
Safe area marker and aspect marker functions
The monitor is equipped with two area markers and center
marker as the safe area marker and aspect marker for
confirming the picture angle.
For the operation, see “Displaying the Area Marker or
Aspect Marker” on the Operation Manual.
Scan selection/Native scan display function
You can select from under scan (–3%), normal scan (0%)
and over scan (mask of the 5% over scan portion in the
normal scan) for the picture display.
The monitor is equipped with a native scan display
function which maps the pixel of the signal to the panel in
one-to-one mode. You can select the mode from ×1, ×2 or
Aspect Correction to display a signal in native mode. An
SD signal of non-square pixels (the number of H pixels of
the signal system is 720 or 1440) or a 640 × 480 SD signal
of HDMI/DisplayPort video is displayed correctly by
scaling processing of doubling for the V direction and
