PVM-L2300

Sony Extends its TRIMASTER Series With the PVM-L2300 TRIMASTER Broadcast Monitor

Since its introduction in 2006, Sony’s TRIMASTER™ technology has been widely adopted for high-end picture-monitoring applications, and acclaimed for its high picture quality, operability, and reliability. Sony now introduces a new TRIMASTER monitor for broadcast applications.

The PVM-L2300 is a 23-inch1 LCD

monitor with a customized WCG-CCFL

(Wide Colour Gamut CCFL) backlight

system designed for use in broadcast

applications. Built on the TRIMASTER

design concept, the PVM-L2300

monitor can reproduce images

consistent with the BVM-L231 TRIMASTER

master monitor. By incorporating the

same processing-engine technology

of the BVM-L231 master monitor, the

PVM-L2300 offers the superb picture

performance and sophisticated

features required by today’s broadcast

and critical picture-monitoring

applications. Also, the

PVM-L2300 can accept almost any

type of video and PC signal, both

analog and digital. The video interface

accepts analog composite signals up

to 3G SDI

signals from VGA to WUXGA.

, as well as HDMI™ and DVI

In addition, the PVM-L2300 offers great

afﬁnity between Sony’s professional

CRT monitors in terms of system

conﬁguration, installation, physical

size, functionality, and operational

convenience.

The PVM-L2300 is the ideal choice

for the next level of digital broadcast

system that requires smooth migration

– from CRT to LCD, SD to HD, and/or

interlace to progressive.

The PVM-L2300 incorporates the professional display engine used in Sony’s BVM-L231 master monitor. In addition, it also features a unique high-grade 23-inch

full resolution LCD panel and a high-quality WCG-CCFL (Wide Colour Gamut CCFL) backlight system. What is great about the PVM-L2300 monitor is that it conforms to broadcast-standard colour gamuts unlike some wide CCFL backlight system LCD monitors. As a result of all this, the PVM-L2300 offers a high level of picture quality, accuracy, and reliability.

Multiple Colour Gamuts (SMPTE-C, EBU, ITU-R BT.709)

The PVM-L2300 incorporates the same colour conversion system as the BVM-L231 master monitor – the nonlinear cubic conversion colour management system – which uses a unique 3-D LUT (look-up table) to reproduce precise colour gamuts throughout the entire grayscale. Also, while wide CCFL backlights can in general reproduce wider colour gamuts than conventional CCFL backlights, not all wide CCFLs are compatible with broadcast colour gamuts. The WCG-CCFL backlight of the PVM-L2300 is designed to emulate BVM-CRT colour gamuts. And combined with its unique

colour management system, this enables the PVM-L2300 to accurately reproduce colour gamuts that emulate

broadcast standards such as ITU-R BT.709, and EBU and SMPTE-C phosphor standards. Compared to past CRT monitors, which offer only one colour gamut per model, the PVM-L2300 allows these colour gamuts to be selected and reproduced on the same monitor – a feature only made possible by Sony’s unique monitor technologies.

2 The PVM-L2300 conforms to these colour standards.

Main features

Digital Uniformity Correction

Typically, LCD monitors exhibit poor uniformity performance. With the PVM-L2300, white can be reproduced uniformly right across the screen. At the factory, grayscale levels are precisely measured at each area of the panel and if differences are detected between areas, they are accurately corrected by electrical means.

1920 x 1200 Panel With 10-bit LCD Driver

The PVM-L2300 incorporates the latest 10-bit LCD driver and can achieve both high resolution and stunning colour

Main features

Multi-format Signal Support up to 3G SDI

Flexible Input Conﬁguration

Like both the BVM CRT and LCD master monitor series, the PVM-L2300 uses a modular slot design so inputs can be conﬁgured according to individual needs. Four input board slots are available. Optional input boards and in almost any combination, allowing easier conﬁguration and better cost-perinput value. These option boards utilize only one slot each, so up to four cards can be installed for maximum ﬂexibility.

Main features

The PVM-L2300 monitor and the BKM-16R controller attached with the BKM-38H attachment stand.

The monitor and control panel are provided as separate units, allowing greater ﬂ exibility for system integration. Like the BVM-L231 master monitor, the PVM-L2300 incorporates the BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit, which can be attached below the monitor using an optional Controller Attachment Stand (either the BKM-37H or BKM-38H), or connected remotely via an Ethernet cable.

The PVM-L2300 monitor and BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit are equipped with an Ethernet port, allowing remote control of monitor settings across a standard Ethernet connection. One BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit can control up to thirty-two (32) monitors

Operational convenience

The PVM-L2300 is equipped with the same acclaimed functions and operational conveniences of the BVM CRT and BVM LCD master monitors. It also has some additional unique features, which are only made possible by Sony’s ﬂ at-panel technology.

Modular Monitor Control Unit (BKM-16R)

Ethernet-based Remote Control

Operational convenience

Copy function

The optional BKM-16R control unit has a Memory Stick® slot1 to save and load monitor setup and adjustment data. This is useful for multiple monitor systems, allowing the same setup and adjustment data to be loaded onto each unit This data can also be transferred via the BVM’s Ethernet connection.

1 Both standard-size Memor y Stick media and the smaller Memory Stick Duo®/Memory Stick PRO Duo® media can be used. A

Memory Stick Duo adaptor is not required.

2 Data can be moved between the BVM-A monitors, BVM-L monitors, and PVM-L monitors, respectively.

Picture & Picture (Side by Side)

The Picture & Picture function allows simultaneous display of two input signals on the PVM-L2300’s LCD screen. The two picture images are downscaled and displayed side by side. This function comes in handy for adjustments between two cameras, special-effects creation, time-lapse shooting, and computergenerated graphics work, since there is no need to individually adjust the different characteristics of two monitors. This feature offers greater convenience when making white balance adjustments and/or determining shooting angles between two cameras.

Pixel Zoom

The Pixel Zoom function of the PVM-L2300 is a function for magnifying images. A selected area of the displayed picture can be enlarged on a pixel basis, up to eight times both vertically and horizontally. Because the 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.

3 This function is effective when the input signal is displayed by

the “Native Scan” mode.

Error Signal

Aspect Correction Mode

A major difference between CRT and LCD monitors is the shape of their respective pixel arrays. CRT monitors use a non-square array, while LCD displays adopt a square-shaped array. Aspect Correction Mode is a technique used by LCD displays to overcome this difference and emulate the look of a CRT image. Using a scaling technique, this function arranges the SD input signal to emulate the CRT’s non-square pixel array in a horizontal direction. It also applies the appropriate scaling algorithm depending on the video format, NTSC or PAL. An interlace display mode can also be applied when necessary, enabling the monitor to reproduce familiar-looking SD images.

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 equipped on the PVM-L2300 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 PVM-L2300 will reproduce the image at a picture size of 720 x 487 to be doubled to 1440 x 974

pixels. For SD input in particular, the Native Scan function also allows the image’s display size

by duplicating and doubling each pixel both horizontally and vertically.

Scan Switch

The Scan Switch of the PVM-L2300 allows switching between 5% blanking (or 95% area display), and 0% and -3% Under Scan mode.

Operational convenience

Variety of Display Modes

Most ﬂat-panel monitors can only display progressive images at the input signal’s frame rate. However, the PVM-L2300 has two additional and unique display modes – Black Frame Insertion Display and Interlace Display:

Black Frame Insertion Display

Combining its high frame-rate operation with a unique Black Frame Insertion technology, the PVM-L2300 dramatically reduces motion blur, an artifact that is inherent to LCD devices. Black Frame Insertion technology generates a “black” frame and inserts this in every other picture frame. As a result, all of the panel’s LCD molecules are reset to their default alignments, before the next picture frame is displayed.

This effectively eliminates the image lag caused by inconsistencies in the speed at which LCD molecules are realigned in accordance with the video signal change. Because the number of frames is doubled, Black Frame Insertion Display reproduces the combined picture content at twice the speed of the input signal’s frame rate

1 Supports 120-Hz and 100-Hz frame rates.

100/120Hz Black Frame Insertion Display

Interlace Display

The Interlace Display mode of the

PVM-L2300 can display interlace input

signals as interlace ﬁelds. As with the

Native Scan function, the 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 the monitor’s I/P conversion process.

100/120Hz Interlace Display

“HD Frame capture”

The HD Frame Capture function of the PVM-L2300 allows a picture frame from the 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, such as for picture-tone adjustments between past images and for camera-framing adjustments.

2 Both standard-size Memory Stick media and smaller Memory Stick Duo/Memory

Stick PRO Duo media can be used. A Memory Stick Duo adaptor is not required.

Black Detail Mode

Due to the mechanism of an LCD panel, backlight leakage from the panel surface is unavoidable. Black Detail Mode is a function that provides more accurate monitoring of black details in dark, low-APL images. With the PVM-L2300, utilizing a sophisticated backlight system and a unique signal-processing algorithm, the black region of the video level is effectively enhanced an auxiliary function.

1 Video levels higher than 75% are clipped for display. This function can indicate the clipped areas with the zebra pattern.

. This function is recommended as

“+12dB Chroma Up” Function

A “Chroma UP” button located on the front panel of the BKM-16R allows the Chroma Level to be boosted by +12 dB. This is a convenient feature for adjusting camera white balance with a higher degree of accuracy.

Operational convenience

Like the earlier BVM Series CRT monitors and BVM-L Series LCD monitors, the PVM-L2300 monitor can display various markers, including an aspect marker, safe area marker, and centre marker. In addition to this ﬂ exible selection of marker types, detailed display settings of each marker are offered. For example, the colour, brightness, horizontal/vertical position, and width of aspect markers can all be controlled, while the height and width of safe area markers can be adjusted. What’s more, users can also choose to display two safe area markers, each selectable between three marker variations. These ﬂ exible marker controls, together with the choice of many different marker types such as aspect marker types (lines or aspect blanking) and centre marker types (long or short), make the PVM-L2300 monitor the perfect allround display device for a variety of shooting scenarios.

Marker Examples

Other Features

Auto white balance

The colour temperature and white balance of the PVM-L2300 monitor can be automatically adjusted by the Auto White Balance function using the speciﬁ ed colour temperature probes

, such as the Konica Minolta CA-210, DK-Technologies PM5639/06, and X-Rite i1 (Eye-One) Pro.

1 A connector is required for each colour analyzer.

Auto Chroma/Phase Adjustment

An Auto Chroma/Phase/Matrix setup function is provided on the PVM-L2300, which automatically adjusts the monitor’s chroma, phase, and matrix using external colour bars.

2 Supports analog signal input only.

Internal Test Signal and SMPTE Colour

The PVM-L2300 incorporates a builtin test signal generator for: 100% white signal, 20% gray signal, 0% black signal, PLUGE (Picture Line Up Generating Equipment) signal, colourbar signals, 5-step grayscale signal, and ramp signal.

“Character Off” Button (BKM-16R)

To facilitate manual adjustments, the On-Screen Menu indication can be taken off the screen, while the Menu mode is still active. The On-Screen Menu indication can be toggled on or off simply by the press of a button on the BKM-16R’s front panel.

Colour Temperature Selection

The Colour Temperature can be selected from D65, D93, or User1 to User5. A “Colour Temp” (Colour Temperature) button located on the BKM-16R’s front panel enables instant access to the “Colour Temp menu” without using the On-Screen menu.

Aspect Switch

The aspect ratio of the PVM-L2300 can be switched between 4:3 and 16:9 depending on the input signal.
