Precaution

• The screen and the cabinet become warm during

operation. This is not a malfunction.

On Safety

• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in the “Specifications” section.

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is located on the bottom.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord.

• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.

• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.

• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

On Installation

• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.

• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

On Burn-in

Due to the characteristics of the material used in the OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly over extended periods.

Images that may cause burn-in

• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9

• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time

• Character or message displays that indicate settings or the operating state

• On-screen displays such as center markers or safety zones

To reduce the risk of burn-in

• Turn off the character and marker displays Press the MENU button to turn off the character displays. To turn off the character or marker displays of the connected equipment, operate the connected equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the operation manual of the connected equipment.

• Turn off the power when not in use Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used for a prolonged period of time.

Screen saver

This product has a built-in screen saver function to reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.

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), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.

• Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a window.

• Do not push or scratch the monitor’s screen. Do not place a heavy object on the monitor’s screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.

On a Long Period of Use

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.

Precaution

Page 6

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 cleaning cloth or a soft dry cloth to remove dirt.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with the supplied cleaning cloth, or a soft cloth slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.

• The screen may become scratched if the cleaning cloth is dusty.

• Never use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, thinner, acidic or alkaline detergent, detergent with abrasives, or chemical wipe as these may damage the screen.

• Use a blower to remove dust from the screen surface.

On Dew Condensation

If the viewfinder is moved suddenly from a cold place to a warm place, or used in a room with high humidity, water droplets may form on the interior of the product. This phenomenon is known as dew condensation. This product does not come with a feature that warns users of dew condensation. If water droplets are found on the casing, turn off the power, and wait until the condensation disappears before using.

On Mounting on a Rack

Leave 1U space empty above and below the monitor to ensure adequate air circulation or install a fan to maintain the monitor’s performance.

If you have any questions about this unit, contact your authorized Sony dealer.

Disposal of the Unit

Do not dispose of the unit with general waste. Do not include the monitor with household waste. When you dispose of the monitor, you must obey the law in the relative area or country.

On Fan Error

The fan for cooling the unit is built in. When the fan stops and the 1 (standby) switch indicator on the front panel flashes in green and amber for fan error indication, turn off the power and contact an authorized Sony dealer.

On AC Adaptor Terminal

The AC adaptor terminal of this unit (the connector for AC adaptors) is a consumable part. The unit may not operate properly if the pins of the AC adaptor terminal are bent or deformed by shock or vibrations, or if they become corroded due to prolonged outdoor use. Periodic inspections are recommended to keep the unit working properly and to prolong its usable lifetime. Contact your dealer or a Sony service representative for more information about inspections.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.

Features

The PVM-740 Professional Video Monitor is a 7.4 type OLED panel monitor for broadcast or business use, featuring a precise image and high performance. This not only achieves high quality picture by the OLED panel but is also small and lightweight, and accepts a variety of input signals, making it useful in a variety of applications, such as an indoor/outdoor shooting, live production, editing, research and development.

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.

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 high peak brightness 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.

Sony's Super Top Emission (STE) OLED panel

The 7.4 type Quarter HD (960×540) OLED panel features Sony's Super Top Emission structure. Unlike the conventional bottom emission structure of TFT, Sony's STE 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.

Multi-format

The monitor supports video, HDMI

, SDI (3G/HD/SD)

signals and NTSC/PAL color systems.

For more information, see “Available signal formats” on page 30.

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.

Color space function

Sony's “ChromaTru” technology brings to you broadcast standard (ITU-R BT.709/EBU/SMPTE-C) color space settings. You can contrast the images of the monitors placed on monitor wall mount or rack mount. Setting the color space function to off reproduces the image in the original wide color space of OLED.

Proprietary feedback circuit

Automatic monitoring and feedback of emitted light and color variation enables stable, long-term color reproduction. This self-correcting feature minimizes the need for user-adjustment of color settings.

Strong, slim and lightweight

The strong, slim, and lightweight design of the aluminum die-cast chassis makes the monitor suitable for use with rack mounts or as a portable monitor. This reduces the weight burden on an outdoor broadcasting van, and allows for a wider working space. Use the light intercepting hood, connector protector and carrying handle (optional Sony VF-510 Monitor ENG Kit) for outdoor use.

Removable screen's protection plate

You can attach and detach the screen’s protection plate easily with the four screws.

Monitor stand

You can set the monitor display in 15° by using the stand.

Two power systems

This unit can also be operated by DC 12V or its exclusive AC adaptor. The AC adaptor can be mounted on the rear of the monitor for easy use.

Camera focus

This function sharpens the edges of the image more than the amount set by the upper limit of the aperture value in the USER CONTROL menu. This is convenient for focusing with the camera.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, a monochrome display is obtained with all three of the R/G/B picture elements driven with a blue signal. This mode is convenient for chroma and phase adjustments and monitoring of signal noise.

Screen saver

To reduce burn-in, the brightness of the screen can be automatically decreased when a still image is displayed for more than 10 minutes.

Silent mode

You can stop the built-in cooling fan. This function is convenient for stopping the noise of the fan rotation.

Flip HV

The image can be flipped vertically, horizontally, or vertically and horizontally with no signal interruption.

For more information, see FLIP HV of "FUNCTION BUTTON SETTING" on page 23.

Rack mount monitors

Using the optional MB-531 Mounting Bracket, up to two monitors may be mounted on the EIA-standard 19inch rack. A height of 4U space-saving design allows more equipment to be installed in tight space, such as an outdoor broadcasting van.
