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.
