automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.
On a Long Period of Use
Handling the Screen
• The panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio
of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black),
6
Precaution
Due to an OLED’s panel structure and characteristics of
materials in its design, displaying static images for
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high
temperature/high humidity environments may cause
image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall
brightness.
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,
may shorten the life of the unit.
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around
the outlet of an air conditioner.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials.
They make an ideal container which to transport the
unit.
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power
whenever the unit is not in use.
Handling and Maintenance of the
Screen
The surface of the screen is specially coated to reduce
image reflection. Make sure to observe the following
points as improper maintenance procedures may impair
the screen’s performance. In addition, the screen is
vulnerable to damage. Do not scratch or knock against it
using a hard object.
• Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet before performing maintenance.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
attach adhesive objects, such as stickers, on it.
• The surface of the screen is specially coated. Do not
touch the screen directly.
• Wipe the screen surface gently with the supplied

Features
The PVM-2541 (25-type) or PVM-1741 (17-type)
Professional Video Monitor is a high performance color
video monitor. This is suitable for television stations or
video production houses, where precise image
reproduction is required.
It features OLED panel and “TRIMASTER
a new technology developed for three elements,
“accurate color reproduction,” “precision imaging” and
“quality picture consistency,” that are in demand for
professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing
difference that occurs due to the individuality of each
panel. Also, it realizes the high picture quality and hightrust required for the professional video monitor by the
color management system with its wide color gamut
device, high-resolution/precise gradation display,
highly accurate signal processing and panel correction
function.
1)
TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Advantages of OLED panel technology
The OLED panel makes use of an organic material,
which emits light when an electric current is applied.
Being self-emitting, the strength of luminescence can be
controlled by the amount of electric current. This brings
about the following three features:
Quick motion picture response:
The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be
changed instantaneously by changing the current flow in
the organic material. This enables a quick motion
picture response and production of images with minimal
blurring and ghosting. Furthermore, performance for
shooting on location is not influenced by changes in
environmental temperature.
1)
,” which is
emission structure of TFT, Sony’s OLED panel can
reproduce a crisper image due to high brightness.
Furthermore, a unique microcavity structure makes
RGB primary colors purer and deeper by utilizing light
resonance effects that magnify optimum light wave
lengths and diminish undesired light wave lengths.
The panel’s 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of
color shading.
2)
“Super Top Emission” is a trademark that represents the
OLED technology of Sony Corporation.
Lightweight and durable monitor housing
A lightweight and durable aluminum housing suitable
for wall and rack mounting is employed. It lightens the
load on your broadcasting van and saves space.
External remote function
The input signal is selected (or various items adjusted)
by the serial (Ethernet) remote function. Up to 32
monitors and control units (max. 4) can be connected by
the Ethernet (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) connection
and controlled remotely on the network. You can control
individual monitors or monitor groups simply by
entering the monitor ID or group ID number. You can
also execute the same operation on all connected
monitors, or put all connected monitors into the same
setup and adjustment state.
For more information, see SERIAL REMOTE of the
REMOTE menu on page 31.
Refer to the Operation Manual of the BKM-15R or
BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit (optional).
Input signal waveform and audio level display
The waveform of the input signal or the audio level
(embedded audio only) is displayed as the sub display.
For more information, see WFM/ALM (waveform
monitor and audio level meter) DISPLAY SETTING on
page 27.
High contrast and wide dynamic range:
The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal
is applied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to
be displayed. Furthermore, thanks to a wide dynamic
range the panel impressively displays brilliance and
clarity of various sparkling images, such as stars in a
night sky twinkling, night illuminations winking or
glass glittering, etc.
Rich color reproduction:
An OLED panel’s self-luminescence also allows for
great color reproduction across the entire spectrum in
practically any shade or brightness.
