About this manual

The instructions in this manual are for the following
two models:

•LMD-9050

•LMD-9030

•LMD-9020
The illustrations used for the explanations are of the
LMD-9050.
Any differences in specifications are clearly indicated
in the text.

Precaution

On Safety

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.

• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified
in the “Specifications” section.

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the bottom.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be
used for several days or more.

• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.

On Installation

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block
the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.

About the Fluorescent Tube

A specially designed fluorescent tube is installed as the
lighting apparatus for this unit. If the LCD screen
becomes dark, unstable or does not turn on, consult your
Sony dealer.

On Cleaning

To keep the unit looking brand-new, periodically clean it
with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner or benzine, or abrasive cleansers since
they will damage the cabinet. As a safety precaution,
unplug the unit before cleaning it.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.

On Mounting on a Rack

Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to
ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to
maintain the monitor’s performance.

If you have any questions about this unit, contact your
authorized Sony dealer.

Handling the LCD Screen

• Bright or dark points of lights (red, blue or green) may
appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.
The LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology with more than 99.99 % of the picture
elements intact. However, some picture elements may
not appear intermittently.

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place
the unit by a window.

• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do
not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen.
This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not
a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.

12

Precaution

On Fan Error

The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the “FAN
ERROR” message is displayed, turn off the power and
contact an authorized Sony dealer.

Features

High brightness LCD panel

Because of the monitor’s high brightness, high contrast
and wide viewing angle technology, it can be used under
various lighting conditions. Use the light intercepting
hood, connector protector and carrying handle (optional
Sony VF-509 monitor ENG kit) for outdoor use.

Rack mount monitors

The LMD-9050, LMD-9030 and LMD-9020 can be
installed in a standard 19-inch rack using an optional
rack mounting bracket MB-525. This is essential when
space is paramount in crowded OB vehicles.

Monitor stand

You can set the monitor display in 90 degrees by using the
stand.

Lightweight, thin design/AC power adaptor
mount function

The lightweight, thin design reduces the load for an OB
vehicle and the space needed for the equipment. Also,
an AC power adaptor can be installed to the rear of the
monitor for easy use.

External sync input

When the EXT SYNC button is in the on position, the
unit can be operated on the sync signal supplied from an
external sync generator.

Automatic termination (connector with
mark only)

The input connector is terminated internally at 75 ohms
when nothing has been connected to the output
connector. If a cable is connected to the output
connector, the internal terminal is automatically released
and the signals input to the input connector are output to
the output connector (loop-through).

Select color temperature and gamma mode

You can select the color temperature from among two
(high and low) settings and gamma mode from among
five settings. You can also adjust the color temperature
to the appropriate setting.

Aspect setting

You can set the monitor to 4:3 or 16:9 display mode
according to the input video signal.

Various markers

Displays frame boundaries such as the center marker,
etc. and supports the various film aspect ratios.

3-color tally lamp

The tally lamp lights in red, green or amber to monitor
each input picture and check the on-air mode.

Monaural speaker

The monitor has a monaural speaker to reproduce sound.

Two color systems available

The monitor can display NTSC and PAL signals by
connecting this unit. The appropriate color system is
selected automatically.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, the blue element of the input

signal is displayed. This mode is convenient for chroma
and phase adjustment, and for monitoring VTR noise.

SDI (HD/D1-SDI) input connectors (for LMD­9050/9030)

The HD-SDI signal (LMD-9050) or D1-SDI signal
(LMD-9050/9030) of the video equipment is input.

Analog RGB/component input connectors

Analog RGB or component signals from video
equipment can be input through these connectors.

Scan setting

You can set the display size to 0%/5% over scan, -3%
under scan or zoom mode.

On-screen menus

You can set the appropriate settings according to the
connected system by using the on-screen menus.

Key inhibit function

You can inhibit a key, function to prevent misoperation.

Select language display

You can select from seven display languages English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and
Chinese.

External remote control function

You can directly select the input signal, aspect, etc., by
operating the equipment connected to the PARALLEL
REMOTE terminal.

Battery operation function

You can operate this unit for about three hours with the
lithium ion battery pack BP-L40A or for about four and
half hours with the BP-L90A.

Y/C input connectors

The video signal, split into the luminance signal (Y) and
the chrominance signal (C), can be input through this
connector.
