Sony’s OLED – Self-emitting Display Device

Sony’s OLED creates light by recombining an electron and a hole within certain organic materials. The process of emitting light
is extremely efcient when compared to other technologies currently used for display.
Its organic materials react to the control of the electrical current immediately, and do not emit light in the absence of an
electrical current. In this way, the OLED display panel features superb black performance and quick response to fast-motion
pictures. In addition, Sony’s OLED display panel delivers a wider color gamut.

Super Top Emission Technology

Sony’s Super Top Emission OLED panel is designed to deliver
light emission with the TFT layer on the rear side of the panel.
Therefore, the top emission structure offers more efcient light
emission than is typical with bottom emission structures where
TFT layers are placed on the front side of the panel, limiting
the light-emission aperture.

This Super Top Emission technology has a micro-cavity
structure which incorporates color lters. This cavity structure
uses an optical resonance effect to enhance color purity
and improve light-emission efciency, which gives the monitor
very accurate primary colors. In addition, the color lter of
each RGB also enhances the color purity of emitted light, and
reduces ambient light reection.

Sony’s Super Top Emission OLED panel is completely sealed
by a glass substrate, and the electroluminescent layer is fully
isolated from outside air and moisture. This contributes to
stability and reliability.

stability and reliability.

The diagram on the right shows how the Sony micro cavity
structure takes out of band light that doesn't contribute to the
correct colors and combines it with the in-band color so that
a more saturated and accurate color can be displayed.

Advantages of the Sony OLED Technology

The OLED processor
– Dedicated to eliciting full performance.

Accurate signal processing across all signal levels
Accurate gamma control
Superb uniformity control

Dedicated Sony OLED Processor*

The BVM-E, BVM-F, and PVM Series of OLED monitors incorporate newly developed OLED-dedicated signal processors to elicit and
maximize OLED panel performance. This technology allows these TRIMASTER EL™ monitors to provide the level of performance
required for critical imaging. These processors accurately control gamma and uniformity, and deliver precision stability control.

* The PVM-740 is equipped with a different processing technology (ChromaTRU™).

Accurate gamma control

Since the Sony OLED panel can display a deeper black than
any other display device, the TRIMASTER EL OLED processor
controls gamma accuracy (black reproduction) by increased

Advantages of the Sony OLED Technology

* Gray scales are simulated images.

Accurate Black Reproduction

A key advantage of the Sony OLED is the fact that each pixel
can be turned completely off. No other display technology
is able to offer this. LCD either raises black luminance due
to intrinsic light leakage, or reduces black luminance with
artificial local dimming technologies. CRT always applies a
bias voltage to place the gun at the proper operating level.
All of these display devices have some limitation in accuracy
of black reproduction. In comparison, Sony TRIMASTER EL
OLED is capable of reproducing accurate black with each
individual pixel, enabling users to evaluate each picture
image faithfully to the signal.

Accurate Color Reproduction

Sony Super Top Emission technology not only offers a wide color gamut with its purity of the three primary colors, but also
maintains this wide color gamut throughout the entire luminance range. While all other display devices have limitations in
reproducing accurate colors, especially in the low signal levels, Sony OLED system is truly an ideal display device for picture
evaluation. With OLED, users see the details in the blacks, and see the colors as well.

Advantages of the Sony OLED Technology

Quick Response with Virtually No Motion Blur

The Sony OLED gray-to-gray switching speed (measured in microseconds, μs) is much faster than that of the LCD (measured in
milliseconds, ms).* This fast response benefits a variety of applications and uses. For example, in sports broadcasting, when
camera pans would become blurred with an LCD, they remain sharp and clear with OLED. And with moving titles or graphics,
when text can be difficult to read on an LCD, OLED displays clear text, regardless of speed or direction.

Professional Display Engine

The high-precision signal processing engine has been developed to fulfill the master monitor criteria and is optimized to
maximize OLED panel performance. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and provides both a
high quality interlaced to progressive conversion algorithm and a highly accurate color management system.

Nonlinear Cubic Conversion color management

The nonlinear cubic conversion color management system
in the BVM-E and BVM-F Series master monitors use a unique
3D LUT (look-up table) to accurately reproduce the color
gamuts of each broadcast standard such as ITU-R BT.709,
EBU, and SMPTE-C phosphor standards. In addition, the
OLED’s wide color gamut enables D-Cine emulation for digital
intermediate work.*

* D-Cine is a color gamut emulating the color gamut described in SMPTE RP

431-2-2007. The chromaticity of the green-red region is not covered in full;
however, the color shift is subtle in this region.

This feature is supported by the BVM-E Series only.

BVM-E Series Digital Cinema Features

The BVM-E Series – comprising BVM-E250 and BVM-E170 master monitors – offers digital cinema features which are
indispensable and ideal for high-quality creative digital cinema onset and post-production workflow.

2K (2048 x 1080, RGB/XYZ) Input

BVM-E250 and BVM-E170 master monitors are capable of

2K (2048 x 1080 resolution, RGB/XYZ) input. The 2K signal
is displayed in two ways  as a full 2K image scaled into a
full-HD (1920 x 1080) screen, or as a 2K native display with an

image-slide function.

2048 Image-slide

The 2048 Image-slide function allows 2K resolution (2048 x 1080
pixels) images to be mapped, pixel-to-pixel, on the full-HD

(1920 x 1080 pixels) panel without picture degradation. When
the user needs to view the left or right edge of the picture
frame, they can scroll the image in a horizontal direction.

2048 x 1080

1920 x 1080

S-LOG Gamma

S-LOG gamma is a technique used in Sony’s digital
cinematography cameras that allows the full latitude of the
camera CCD to be maintained throughout the production
chain. Unlike conventional systems, in which highlight
contrast is compressed, S-LOG Gamma logarithmically
converts the video signal using characteristics similar to film
negatives.
This keeps the camera CCD dynamic range intact, even in

extreme highlight areas. Two display modes are offered:

1) S-LOG Full

This mode displays the full dynamic range of the video signal
captured from Sony’s digital cinematography cameras.

2) S-LOG Standard

This mode displays image exposure levels at the lower part
of the S-LOG gamma signal dynamic range, allowing image

areas of regular brightness to be viewed clearly. Higher

exposure levels are clipped in this mode.

Gamut Error Display

This function detects irregular signal input. When an irregular
signal is detected, these master monitors indicate this with a
zebra pattern over the relevant area of the picture.
Gamut Error Display is a
convenient feature that
instantly alerts viewers
to such signals without
requiring the use of a
waveform monitor.

ASC CDL and User LUT Functions

BVM-E Series monitors support the ASC CDL (American
Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List) and User
LUT (Look-up Table) to emulate color grading.

Live images from camera onset can be altered after

importing an ASC CDL format, and/or previewed using a film

print emulation applied to the monitor using Look Creation
Workflow.*

Furthermore, once ASC CDL and User LUT data are created,
information*2 can be saved to Memory Stick® media*3 and

loaded onto the monitor from the BKM-16R controller. Up to

five items of ASC CDL and User LUT data can be imported to
BVM-E Series monitors, so users can easily compare different
color grading (see Look Application Workflow).

These features help with creative decision making and
improve workflow between onset and post-production.

*1 Requires BVM-E firmware V1.1 or later, and third-party software supporting

the BVM-E ASC CDL and User LUT functions (third party software sold

separately).
*2 Up to 1,000 data items.
*3 Can use a Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO™, Memory Stick Duo™,

BVM Series

Signal Analyzing Functions

Picture & Picture

The unique Picture & Picture function of the BVM-E and BVM-F Series allows simultaneous display of two input signals on the

monitor’s screen. This function is extremely convenient for making instant adjustments to two input sources, because there is no
need to individually adjust the different characteristics of two monitors.
This function comes in handy for adjustments between two cameras, special-effects creation, time-lapse shooting, and

computer graphics (CG) work. The BVM-E Series offers four Picture & Picture modes and the BVM-F Series offers a side-by-side
mode:

Side-by-side

The two picture images are downscaled using a
digital filter and displayed side-by-side. This feature is
convenient when making white balance adjustments or
determining shooting angles between two cameras.

Butterfly (BVM-E Series only)

The two inputs are displayed as line-symmetric images on the

left and right halves of the screen. By adjusting the H-position

controller, the two images can be moved inward to the
middle of the screen. An instant comparison of the moving
images can then be made easily and accurately, without the
user having to move their eyes.

WIPE (BVM-E Series only)

The area of the two pictures to be displayed is selected using

a vertical WIPE pattern, which is controlled from the BKM-16R.

This function is useful when picture detail of the two images
must be examined on a pixel basis. This is normally used to
review still images.

Blending (BVM-E Series only)

The two picture images are overlapped for display, and the
mix ratio is adjustable. This function is useful to verify whether
a foreground signal is accurately keyed into the background
signal, or when combining shoots with live action and
computer-generated effects.

Pixel Zoom

Pixel Zoom is a function for magnifying images. A selected

area of the displayed picture can be enlarged on a pixel
basis, up to eight times in size both vertically and horizontally.
Because this function does not use scaling, the desired
picture content is magnified and displayed faithfully to the
raw input signal. This function is useful when evaluating
precise picture edges, such as for chroma keying.

* This function is effective when the input signal is displayed in “Native Scan”

mode.

3D Signal Analyzing Functions

By installing the optional BKM-20TG 3G/HD-SDI input adaptor*, the BVM-E and BVM-F Series monitors can support a variety of

3D signal analyses. The 3D signals are displayed in 2D mode.

* Difference display” function require the BKM-20TG serial No. 7300001 or higher, and other functions require the BKM-20TG serial No. 7100001 or higher.

Difference Display

This function displays the difference between the luminance
signal of the left (L) and right (R) images of the 3D signal.
When the luminance levels of the two signals are the same,
the signals are displayed in gray. When they are different, a
monochrome image is displayed according to the variation
in luminance. This function is useful for checking the amount
of parallax.

L/R Switch

Left and right signals can be swapped in a moment without
inserting black frames, simply by manually pushing a function
key. This instant-swap capability enables users to compare
the entire images and check for any sense of incongruity or
for unnatural images.

BVM Series

Convenient Features

Interlace Display

BVM-E and BVM-F Series monitors offer an Interlace Display
feature for 1080i and SD inputs. This lets each BVM-E and
BVM-F monitor display these inputs as a true interlace
display. As with the Native Scan function, Interlace Display
mode offers faithful reproduction of the input signal, and
the displayed interlace fields are free from the picture

degradation that can occur as a result of typical I/P

conversion processes.

Aspect Correction Mode

PAL and NTSC video systems are all based on rectangular
pixels. Display of these formats on a square pixel panel
typically distorts the image. The BVM-E and BVM-F Series use
a unique process called Aspect Correction which, while still
offering native pixel performance, continues to display image
geometry correctly. This scaling technique used in BVM-E
and BVM-F Series monitors corrects horizontal distortion while
keeping the vertical pixel count correctly displayed.

Normal Scan Native Scan (x2) Aspect Correction

Scan Switch

The Scan Switch function allows switching between under
scan (-3%), normal scan (0%), and over scan (mask of the 5%
over scan portion in the normal scan).

Native Scan (pixel-to-pixel display)

Conventional flat-panel monitors reproduce images using

scaling and I/P conversion due to their fixed pixel counts and

progressive scanning processes. The Native Scan function
is a unique display mode that reproduces images without
changing the input signal’s pixel count.
For example, when an SD signal is input, the BVM-E and BVM-F
Series monitors will reproduce the image at a picture size of
720 x 487* pixels. For SD inputs the Native Scan function also
allows the displayed image size to be doubled to 1440 x 974*
by duplicating and doubling each pixel both horizontally and
vertically.

HD Frame Capture

The HD Frame Capture function of the BVM-E and BVM-F
Series allow a picture frame from the 3G-SDI and HD-SDI input

to be captured and saved as a picture file on MemoryStick
media.* This picture file can be used as a reference for
various purposes; for example, as for picture-tone adjustments
between past images and for camera-framing adjustments.

ITU-R BT.709, EBU, and SMPTE-C are displayed more accurately
and, if desired, the OLED panel’s native color gamut can be
displayed. The Sony micro-cavity structure uses an optical
resonance effect in combination with accurate color filters to
calibrate and stabilize RGB color accuracy. This combination
is also effective in reducing ambient light reflection, and
consequently deep color reproduction can be achieved
without degradation, particularly in bright environments.

Quick Response with virtually

Blur-free Motion

Because the OLED electroluminescent layer inherently
responds to any electrical current input, it emits light
immediately. By this mechanism, excellent quick response
characteristics can be achieved on fast-motion images.
This efficient virtually blur-free, fast response benefits a variety
of applications and scenes, e.g., in sports broadcasting,
monitoring of camera panning, and text scrolling.

Simulated image

Superb Uniformity

The PVM-2541 and PVM-1741 monitors incorporate a newly
developed OLED process to bring out the full performances of
the Sony OLED panels.
This OLED processor offers superb uniformity across all signal
levels at every point of the screen. At the factory, the OLED
panel uniformity is precisely measured and corrected using a
sophisticated RGB LUT (look-up table) adjustment system.

I/P Mode Selection

The PVM-241 and PVM-1741 monitors provide four I/P modes

so that users can select the most suitable mode for each

purpose:

INTER-FIELD:

This mode interpolates images between fields. This is used
for picture quality precedence (e.g., to reduce the jagged
effect on moving pictures).

INTRA-FIELD:

This mode interpolates images within the field, and delivers
naturally reproduced images and quick picture processing.
This mode is available only for 1920 x 1080 SDI signal input.

FIELD MERGE:

This mode combines lines alternately in odd and even
fields, regardless of picture movements. This is used for PsF
(Progressive Segmented Frame) processing and still image
monitoring.

LINE DOUBLER:

This mode interpolates by repeating each line. This is
used for editing and monitoring fast-moving images, and
checking line flicker. The minimum processing time is less
than one field (0.5 frames).

Camera focus function

The PVM-740 can control and
increase the aperture level of a video
signal, and display images on the
screen with sharpened edges to
help camera focus operation. This
camera focus function can even
be enhanced when combined with
native scan mode.

Simulated image

Flip function

The PVM-740 monitor has a feature to flip a picture without
frame delay, horizontally, vertically, or horizontally and vertically.
This feature is useful and beneficial - for example, when using a
3D image acquisition system with a 3D rig camera. This allows
for much simpler system integration and greater cost efficiency.
