The explanation given in this manual can be applied to the
following models unless noted otherwise.
When explanation differs among models, this is clearly
indicated in this manual.

•PVM-14L5 (14-inch monitor)

•PVM-20L5 (20-inch monitor)
Illustrations of the video monitor are of the PVM-14L5.

Features

The PVM-14L5/PVM-20L5 is a Trinitron color video
monitor for professional use.

Picture

HR (High Resolution) Trinitron1) picture tube
for PVM-14L5 and PVM-20L5

HR Trinitron tube provides a high resolution picture.
Horizontal resolution is more than 800 TV lines at the
center of the picture.

Comb filter

When NTSC video signals are received, a comb filter
activates to make more accurate Y/C separation. This
contributes to less of a decrease in resolution, cross
color and cross luminance phenomena.

Beam current feedback circuit

The built-in beam current feedback circuit assures
stable white balance.

Two color system available

The monitor can display NTSC and PAL signals. The
appropriate color system is selected automatically.

Y/C input connectors (S-input connector)

The video signal, split into the luminance signal (Y)
and the chrominance signal (C), can be input through
this connector, eliminating the interference between
the two signals, which tends to occur in a composite
video signal, ensuring video quality.

Expandable input capability

You can easily expand the input capability by
installing an input adaptor (not supplied) in the input
option slot in the rear of the monitor.

External sync input

When the EXT SYNC selector is in the on position,
the monitor can be operated on the sync signal
supplied from an external sync generator.

Automatic termination (connector with
mark only)

The input connector is terminated at 75 ohms inside
when nothing has been connected to the output
connector. If a cable is connected to the output
connector, the internal terminal is automatically
released and the signals input to the input connector
are output to the output connector (loop-through).

Auto chroma phase function

The chroma and phase of the decoder are
automatically adjusted with the auto chroma phase
function.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, an apparent monochrome
display is obtained with all three of the R/G/B
cathodes driven with a blue signal. This facilitates
color saturation and phase adjustments and observation
of VCR noise.

Input

Analog RGB/component input connectors

Analog RGB or component (Y, R-Y and B-Y) signals
from video equipment can be input through these
connectors. Select either of two signals using the RGB/
COMP input switch button.

Functions

Multiformat

The monitor supports the principal formats (480I/
480P/720P/1080I) for digital broadcasts as well as
conventional NTSC and PAL color systems — a wide
variety of signals whose horizontal frequency is
between 15 kHz and 45 kHz.

Underscan mode

The signal normally scanned outside of the screen can
be monitored in the underscan mode.

Note

When the monitor is in the underscan mode, the dark
RGB scanning lines may appear on the top edge of the
screen. These are caused by an internal test signal,
rather than the input signal.

Horizontal/vertical delay mode

The horizontal and vertical sync signals can be
monitored simultaneously in the H/V delay mode.
