PVM-L2 Series

◗ 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 critical during continuous
operation over long periods of time, PVM-L2 Series monitors are
equipped with a beam-current feedback circuit. This inhibits
white balance drift, resulting in the long-term color stability.

◗ Digital Comb Filter

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

◗ 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.

◗ 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.

◗ 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.

◗ Signal Interface Options

A variety of optional input adaptors let
you view most of the new digital formats.
By simply inserting adaptors into the
option slot on the rear panel, PVM-L2
series monitors can accept direct input from:

BKM-120D

• D-1 SDI signal input (x 2)/D-1 SDI signal output with active
loop-through (x 2)

BKM-129X

• Analog component (Y/R-Y/B-Y, RGB) with loop-through
(x 1, automatic 75Ω termination)/EXT SYNC with loop­through BNC (x 1, automatic 75Ω termination)
