PVM-L2 Series

PVM-L2 Series

Introducing Sony's new cost-effective PVM-L2 Series -everything you'd expect in Sony
Trinitron

®

professional monitors, and much more. Enhanced by stunning high-resolution
image quality and new input flexibility, these monitors provide a wide range of options for
broadcast, studio, and field production needs.

With your choice of 20", 14" or 9" CRT's, option slots to provide SDI and SDTI-CP, and
additional analog component input capability, the PVM-L2 Series gives you unprecedented
flexibility. In addition to this flexibility, the PVM-L2 Series monitors have a quick response
time, which is inherent in CRT monitors. Never before has Sony packed so much value and
performance in a monitor series ideally suited to so many applications, today and tomorrow!

PVM-14L2

PVM-20L2

Features

Superior Picture Performance

◗ High Picture Quality

The Trinitron CRT incorporated in both the PVM-20L2 and
PVM-14L2 provides clear and precise images with a resolution
of 600 TV lines*.

* Supported on PVM-20L2 and PVM-14L2 monitors. The PVM-9L2
incorporates a Trinitron CRT that provides images with a resolution of 250
TV lines.

◗ Beam-Current Feedback Circuit

Because monitor white balance is prone to drift during
continuous operation over long periods of time, PVM-L2 Series
monitors are equipped with a beam-current feedback circuit.
This corrects white balance drift, resulting in the long-term
stability of color reproduction.

◗ Digital Comb Filter

The NTSC/PAL digital comb filter enhances the
luminance/chrominance separation used to reduce cross-color
interference and color noise, ensuring clear and highly detailed
picture reproduction.

Input Flexibility

◗ Versatile Signal Input

PVM-L2 Series monitors are equipped with input connectors for
component (Y/R-Y/B-Y)*, RGB*, Y/C and composite signals to
provide system flexibility. For accurate reproduction, the
component level can be adjusted according to the input system.

* The PVM-9L2 monitor requires the optional BKM-129X Analog Component
Input Adaptor.

PVM-9L2

◗ NTSC/PAL Operation

PVM-L2 Series monitors can automatically detect whether the
composite signal input is NTSC or PAL. Users are not required
to manually select the appropriate color system.

◗ Signal Interface Options

With an optional adaptor inserted into the
option slot on the rear panel, PVM-L2
Series monitors can accept direct input
from a wide variety of signal formats.

i.LINK™(IEEE1394) Input Adaptor

* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains
an IEEE 1394 connection. The i.LINK connection may vary depending on the
software applications, operating system and compatible i.LINK devices.

is the logo for products that implement i.LINK. All products with an i.LINK
connection may not communicate with each other. Please refer to the
documentation that comes with any device having an i.LINK connection for
information on compatibility operating conditions and proper connection.

◗ External Sync

PVM-L2 Series monitors accept external sync signals, for easy
synchronization with other equipment. The external sync can be
set to automatically detect the input type and switch to the
appropriate settings.

Effective Operational Functions

◗ 4:3/16:9 Capability

Pressing a button on the front panel allows users to switch the
aspect ratio between 4:3 and 16:9.

◗ Underscan Switch

In Underscan mode, the picture size is reduced and the entire
active picture is displayed on the screen. This function allows
users to observe picture edges more clearly.

◗ Switchable Color Temperature

The color temperature can be selected from a choice of D65,
D93 or user-preset (5000K to 10000K).

◗ Blue-Only Mode

These monitors enable signal noise to be precisely evaluated,
and chroma/phase adjustments to be made easily using Blue­Only mode, which displays images with a bluish hue.

◗ Auto/Manual Degaussing

When the power is turned on, the CRT is automatically
degaussed. This degaussing can also be initiated by pressing
the Manual Degauss button.

Simple Operation

◗ Auto Chroma/Phase Setup

An Auto Chroma/Phase Setup mode facilitates the complex,
delicate procedure of monitor adjustment. Using broadcast­standard color bars as a reference, this function automatically
calibrates chroma and phase. This proves very convenient in
computer-based editing systems, enabling easy alignment of
the color reproduction of video output signals.

Simple Operation

◗ On-Screen Menu

Sony PVM-L2 Series monitors provide a variety of window-type
on-screen menus for easy monitor adjustment and operation.

◗ Parallel Remote Control/Tally

Parallel Remote Control and Tally can be controlled via a
Modular 8-pin connector, and the pin assignments can be set
from the On-Screen Menu.

◗ Sub-Control Mode

In this mode, the adjustment range of the contrast, brightness,
chroma and phase controls can be shifted. A preferred level can
be set for the center-click position of each control, allowing
multiple monitors to be set to the same level.

◗ Bias/Gain Control

Bias and Gain controls are provided on the front panel. What's
more, it's easy to make fine adjustments to the white balance
while still observing the screen using the On-Screen Menu.

◗ AC/DC Operation

As well as operating from an AC power source, the PVM-9L2
can also be powered from a 12 V DC source for use in the field.
The monitor can also be operated using an optional BP-L90A,
BP-L60A, BP-M50 or BP-M100 battery.

* Supported on PVM-9L2 monitors. The PVM-9L2 is not equipped with a
battery charger. To charge batteries, an appropriate battery charger must be

used.

Other Features

◗ 19-inch EIA-Standard Rack-Mountable

PVM-9L2 monitors can be mounted side by side in a 19-inch
EIA-standard rack using the optional MB-520 rack-mounting
bracket. Empty spaces can be covered with optional MB-509
Mounting panel. PVM-14L2 monitors can be mounted using the
optional MB-502B* and MB-502C** mounting bracket.
