LMD-150S

Sony introduces the LMD-150S, a new 4:3 15-inch*1LCD panel that enhances the exciting LUMA™ Series of two-piece LCD monitors.

The LMD-150S is used in combination with its associated signalprocessing unit

(the Multiformat Engine Unit), accepting a variety of signal formats ranging from SD to HD video, analog and digital, as well as analog computer signals. The Multiformat Engine Unit incorporates Sony's advanced X-Algorithm*3I/P conversion technology - the central element that enables the LMD-150S monitor to reproduce extremely smooth images.

The LMD-150S monitor uses a multi-layer AR coating, which protects the face panel from scratches and minimizes reflections from ambient light.

Combined with the Multiformat Engine Unit, the LMD-150S is the optimum choice for applications that mainly use Standard Definition today, but that will require HD monitoring in the future.

Viewable area measured diagonally.

The LMD-150S must be used with the supplied Multiformat Engine Unit.

X-Algorithm is used for 480/60i and 575/50i signal input only.

Excellent Picture Reproduction

By nature, LCD panels operate in progressive mode, so displaying an interlace signal can be a difficult task. However, with the Sony LMD-150S, this concern is a thing of the past. The XAlgorithm processing used in the Multiformat Engine Unit, intelligently converts interlaced signals to progressive signals, using a highly sophisticated algorithm. The result is extremely smooth diagonal picture edges, which can be technically difficult to reproduce on conventional LCD monitors.

Excellent Brightness and Contrast

(High Clarity Panel using Multi-Layer AR Coating)

Wide Viewing Angle of 170 degrees

Input Versatility

The Multiformat Engine Unit can accept the following SD or HD video formats:

• NTSC and PAL

• Component 480/60i and 575/50i

• Progressive 480/60p and 576/50p

• High definition 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 720/60p, 1080/24PsF, and

1080/25PsF

In addition, the analog composite and component interfaces are offered as standard. Digital interfaces such as HD-SDI, SD-SDI, and DV are offered as optional boards.

FEATURES

Operational Convenience

The LMD-150S monitor provides the convenient features for which Sony professional monitors are renowned, including:

• Advanced marker settings (Aspect Marker, Center Marker, and Safety Area)

• Color temperature/gamma selection

• Blue-only mode

• Three-color tally

• Protected controls

• H/V delay function

• Stereo audio monitoring

• Selectable scan size for video input and aspect ratio

• Mounting flexibility (19-inch EIA standard rack mounting

and

VESA 75 x 75 mm spacings)

Requires the optional MB-524 mounting bracket.

The Monitor Stand is optional.
