Full HD, Excellent Cost:Performance Ratio LCD Lineup
The LMD-A240 (24”) incorporates a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) panel and the LMD-A220
and LMD-A170 incorporate a Full HD (1920 x 1080) panel. All LMD-A Series monitors
emulate broadcast standards (ITU-R BT.709, EBU, and SMPTE-C).
Lightweight and Compact,
with Lower Power Consumption
These monitors offer a design that is uniquely light and compact. Their weight is
reduced by 12% to 22%, and depth by more than 30%, compared with predecessor
models. Power consumptions for these models is reduced by more than 25%. Users
appreciate these convenient, cost-saving qualities.
LMD-A240 LMD-A220 LMD-A170
Sony is proud to introduce its lightweight, full HD LMD-A Series
monitor lineup with an excellent cost:performance ratio. Models
include the LMD-A240 (24”), LMD-A220 (22”), and LMD-A170 (17”).
The series offers full HD resolution, along with a lightweight and
compact design. There is more than a 12% to 22% reduction in
mass, 30% reduction in depth, and more than 25% reduction in
power consumption, compared to Sony’s previous models.
The LMD-A Series offers the same user-interface design, convenient
features and functions, and operability as PVM-A Series OLED picture
monitors. This consistency between the PVM-A and LMD-A Series
brings great user benefits when both types of monitor are used in
the same network.
Furthermore, LMD-A Series monitors provide versatility for a wide
range of user applications both in the studio and in the field: DC
operation, VESA mount and yoke-mount holes, and an optional
protection kit (LMD-A170 only).
This broad and powerful professional LCD monitor lineup continues
to meet the broadest range of application needs for excellent
cost:performance picture monitoring.
Optimized Low-latency I/P Conversion
The I/P conversion system delivers automatically optimized signal processing
according to input signals with low-latency (less than 0.5 field). This system helps users
to edit and monitor for a live production.
Time code and In-monitor Display (IMD) Function
With an external remote function via Ethernet, image source names and tally information
can be displayed on screen. LMD-A Series monitors support the TSL system protocol.
The IMD system can display European language text including umlaut and accent marks.

Waveform Monitor and Vector Scope Display
These features enable users to monitor
sources using the internal waveform and
vector scope. In addition, LMD-A Series
monitors provide some of the same
evaluation tools as larger, dedicated
equipment. Both the waveform monitor
and the vector scope offer zoom functions
for very precise signal adjustment (from
zero to 20% video level), and both have
two-channel audio monitoring.

Versatility for a Wide Range of User Applications
These monitors offer a variety of mechanical features to enhance monitor mobility
and user convenience in a wide range of applications.
Optional Protection Kit (BKM-PL17 for LMD-A170 only)
This accessory provides an AR-coated protection panel
for the 17-inch monitor, along with corner bumpers to
safeguard the monitor from scratches and impact.
The benefit of this is significant when renting out these
monitors – for example, panel damage is reduced and
there is a far lower incidence of panel replacement
and downtime during rental cycles.

Camera Focus Function
This function controls the aperture level of a
video signal, and displays images on screen with
sharpened edges to help camera focus operation.
Other Features
• Safety area markers
• Closed caption display (EIA/CEA-608 and EIA/CEA-708, SDI only)
• 8-channel audio level meter display
• External remote control function
• Computer signal input capability via HDMI input

Yoke-mount and VESA-mount Capability
All of these monitors have screw holes on their side
bezels for yoke mounting. This type of mounting is
convenient when installing a monitor to a camera
crane or monitor stand. There are also VESA-mount
100-mm pitch holes on each monitor’s rear panel.

User-friendly Operability and UI
LMD-A Series monitors offer the same functions and
operability as PVM-A Series monitors. This means
that both types of monitor can be operated and
controlled in the same way.
Front control panel: Consistent design between the PVM-A and LMD-A Series.
Input Versatility
LMD-A Series monitors are equipped with built-in
standard input interfaces: 3G/HD/SD-SDI (x2),
HDMI (HDCP) input (x1), and composite (x1).
