Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

Precautions

On Safety

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

• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.

• 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.

Chapter

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 LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
unit by a window.

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

• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.

• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or
time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time,
an image may remain on the screen and be
superimposed as a ghosting image.

• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.

1

With Protection Plate Installed

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.

Handling the LCD Screen

• The LCD 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

The protection plate is installed on the monitor to protect
the LCD panel at the factory.

• The surface of the protection plate is easily damaged.
Do not scrape against it with a hard object or strike or
hammer on it with any object.

• When viewed from an oblique angle, the picture with
the protection plate installed may differ in color from
that without the protection plate.

• With the protection plate installed, there may be more
reflection of light than without.

• As the internal heat of the monitor increases when the
protection plate is installed, the fan starts to run earlier
than when the protection plate is not installed.

Precautions

9

On Cleaning

Before cleaning

Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.

Chapter 1 Overview

On cleaning the monitor screen

The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce
reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of
the monitor, take care with respect to the following:

• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
If you wipe the screen using too much force, the screen
surface may lose uniformity or the LCD panel may
malfunction.
Never use tissue as it may scar the surface of the screen.

• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as
a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened
with water.

• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.

If you have any questions about this unit, please contact
your Sony service representative.

On cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a
soft dry cloth.

• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.

• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet
may be scratched.

• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

On Repacking

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

On Rack Mounting

When the monitor is mounted on a rack, the temperature
around the monitor may rise due to heat generated from
other equipment and reduced air circulation, causing
damage to the monitor. To prevent this, keep the space
around the monitor (1U or more space above and below the
monitor), and install a ventilation fan or take other
effective countermeasures so that the temperature around
the monitor is within the specified range: operating
temperature range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95°F).

Features

The PVM-L3200 is 32-inch LCD Video Monitor. This is

Chapter 1 Overview

suitable for television stations or video production houses,
where precise image reproduction is required.

For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” on
page 84.

Black frame insertion display mode

Motion blur caused by the holding-type display of the LCD
is decreased by inserting the black frame between the
picture frames in double frame rate (100/120Hz) operation
of the LCD panel.

The PVM-L3200 features flat panel and “TRIMASTER*”,
which is 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, the PVM-L3200 realizes the high picture
quality and high-trust by the color management system
with its wide color gamut device, high-resolution/precise
gradation display, animation improvement technology and
signal processing of high accuracy/calibration/feedback
system.

* TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

32-inch LCD panel developed for the PVM

The 32-inch (31.55 inch) LCD panel was developed for the
PVM-L3200 and supports the full HD signal.
It offers a 10-bit driver, high-speed response, high
resolution and high color gradation.

12-bit precision display engine for professional
use

The panel is equipped with a unique signal process engine
developed for the professional use monitor. This engine
incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and
provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling
processing, panel driving and a highly accurate color
management system.

Multi color space

A color management system which uses the unique 3D
LUT (Look Up Table) reproduces the color space that
complies with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBU
and SMPTE-C accurately.

High-quality I/P conversion processing

A high-quality picture near the original one, in which
jagged lines and conversion errors are decreased by
detecting the feature of the picture inside the subdivided
block and processing properly, is reproduced.
The signal delay is decreased by judging the animation or
still picture from the past video signal.

Interlace display mode

The interlace signal is displayed as the interlace picture by
inserting the black line without I/P conversion processing.
A picture faithful to the original signal and with the same
feel as a CRT is gained.

For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” on
page 84.

Available to a multi signal format

The monitor supports various input signals such as 720 ×
576/50i to 1920 × 1080/50P, 60P and variable computer
signals up to 1920 × 1080. A DVI-D (HDCP
correspondence), HDMI* (HDCP correspondence) and
four option slots are equipped as the interface and the
monitor supports HD-SDI, Dual-link HD-SDI, 3G-SDI,
SD-SDI, RGB, YPbPr, Y/C and composite signal input.

* HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia

Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of
HDMI Licensing LLC.

HD frame capture function

The frame of the 3G/HD-SDI input signal is captured and
saved as a picture file in the “Memory Stick”. This is used
to confirm the color tone and picture angle of the current
scene and recorded scene by using the multi display
(Picture&Picture) function.

* As the frame of the input signal is captured, the data and

marker set by the monitor is not reflected.

For the operation, see “Capturing the Picture of the HD
Signal (HD Frame Capture)” on page 90.

Multi display function

Two kinds of input signals are output on the monitor. Side
by Side mode is useful for adjusting the color or comparing
two pictures.

For the operation, see “Displaying Two Signals on One
Screen (Picture&Picture)” on page 87.

Pixel zoom function

As part of the picture is magnified up to 8 times without
scaling processing, this is convenient for confirming a
minute part of the signal.

For the operation, see “Magnifying the Picture (Pixel
Zoom)” on page 88.

Safe area marker and aspect marker functions

The monitor is equipped with two area markers and center
marker as the safe area marker and aspect marker for

normal scan) for the picture display.
The monitor is equipped with a native scan display
function which maps the pixel of the signal to the panel in
one-to-one mode. You can select the mode from ×1, ×2 or
Aspect Correction to display a signal in native mode. An
SD signal of non-square pixels (the number of H pixels of
the signal system is 720 or 1440) or a 640 × 480 SD signal
of DVI video/HDMI video is displayed correctly by
scaling processing of doubling for the V direction and
correct aspect ratio for the H direction, and the picture is
also optimized and displayed by modifying the aperture
coefficient value, filter coefficient value, etc. in Aspect
Correction mode.

For the operation, see “Selecting the Native Scan/Scan
Mode” on page 86.

Chapter 2 Preparations

Illumination environments

The apparent color reproduction on the monitor is greatly
affected by ambient light or glare.
The LCD device controls the brightness by moving LCD
molecules with the backlight always lit. For this reason,
in a dark place, an LCD monitor screen shows very dim
light leaks from the black image. We recommend that you
adjust the ambient light and use in an environment that
does not degrade the reproduction of black.

Viewing angle

The ideal viewing angle is within 5 degrees (up/down/left/
right) off the center of the monitor screen when the
operator views the entire monitor screen. Keep the
viewing angle within 15 degrees off the center of the
monitor screen.

Automatic adjustment (recommended)

Adjusting

Before adjusting

The monitor must be warmed up sufficiently.
To perform stable color reproduction, turn on the power of
the monitor, display the white signal and leave it in this
state for more than 30 minutes.

About monitor adjustment

The monitor is used as a measuring instrument and is
required to faithfully reproduce the input signal. To
measure the signal accurately, the monitor must be
calibrated correctly using a reference signal.
To calibrate, adjust the following items in sequence.

1 Chroma/phase adjustment

You can save the adjustment value in Preset1 to
Preset5. The data of Preset1 to Preset5 is set to the
channel in the Picture Preset menu (page 54) of the
Input Configuration menu.
Adjust the picture automatically with the auto chroma/
phase/matrix function for every signal format and
signal system to display the composite signal or Y/C
signal from the BKM-227W, or analog component
signal or analog RGB signal from the BKM-229X. If
the picture is not adjusted, the picture may not be
displayed correctly.

2 Color Temperature (white balance) adjustment

You can adjust the data set to the channel in the Color
Temp menu (page 54) of the Input Configuration
menu.
You can adjust D93, D65 or User1 to User5.

3 Brightness/Contrast adjustment

You can save the adjustment value in Preset1 to
Preset5. The data of Preset1 to Preset5 is set to the
channel in the Picture Preset menu (page 54) of the
Input Configuration menu.

1

Input the reference color-bar signal to the monitor.

2

Select Auto in the Picture Adj menu of the Adjustment
menu and perform the automatic adjustment of the
chroma, phase and matrix in Auto Adjust (page 46).

Manual adjustment

The following is the example of the method to perform the
manual adjustment of the chroma and phase.

1

Input the multi format color-bar signal or SMPTE
color-bar signal to the monitor.

2

Set the BLUE ONLY button to on.

Red and green signals are cut, and only the blue signal
is displayed as a monochrome picture.

The following is the example of the adjustment when the
multi format color-bar signal is used.

3

Select the Manual Adjust menu (page 47) in the Picture
Adj menu of the Adjustment menu and adjust the
levels with the CHROMA or PHASE knob of the
controller while tracking so that the brightness of bars
“a” (Blue part) and “b” (75% White part) (in the
following illustration) are the same.

For the composite and Y/C signals

Adjust the levels with the CHROMA and PHASE
knob.

For the component signal

Adjust the levels with the CHROMA knob.

a (Blue)

Chapter 2 Preparations

Chroma/Phase Adjustment

Automatic adjustment (with auto chroma/phase/matrix
function) is required for each signal format, signal system
and matrix to display the composite or Y/C signal from the
BKM-227W, or the analog component or analog RGB
signal from the BKM-229X.
As you can automatically adjust the chroma, phase, matrix
and also 100% (white) and 0% (black) levels of the monitor
to the same as those of the reference signal by performing
the automatic adjustment, the automatic adjustment is also
effective for the RGB signal.
Perform the manual adjustment of chroma and phase to
adjust them further after automatic adjustment or the
digital signal from the BKM-220D, BKM-243HS, BKM­244CC or BKM-250TG.

This monitor applies high-contrast to the picture and
reproduces accurate color by displaying the interlace
signal in progressive mode by the I/P conversion or the
PsF·progressive signal in progressive mode without the

Chapter 4 Operations

I/P conversion.
You can select the following mode according to the input
signal or the object to evaluate the picture.

• Black frame insertion display mode: A black frame is
inserted between the picture frames. It is convenient to
confirm the picture with multi-action scenes or roll
telop as the motion blur caused by the holding-type
display of the LCD is decreased.

• Interlace display mode: The picture is displayed in
interlace mode without I/P conversion processing. The
picture near the original quality of the input signal is
monitored.

Notes

• The luminance is reduced due to the principle of
operation in the black frame insertion mode and the
interlace display mode. However, on this monitor the
normal luminance is set by setting up the value of the
backlight luminance. For this reason, the black level is
set higher than the normal setting level and the range of
the contrast adjustment (backlight adjustment) is
different from the normal level, and the luminance may
be reduced according to the setting of the contrast.

• You cannot use both the black frame insertion display
mode and interlace display mode. When the interlace
display is set to on, the black frame insertion display is
not set to on.

• The black frame is not inserted in the following cases:
– When Interlace is set to On
– When the 24P or 24PsF input signal is displayed
– When Format of the Input Configuration menu is set

to DVI Computer

– When the HDMI computer signal is input

• The picture is not displayed in interlace mode in the
following cases:
– When Side by Side is set to On
– When Pixel Zoom is set to on

is 720 or 1440) or a 640 × 480 SD signal of DVI
video/HDMI video is displayed correctly by scaling
processing of doubling for the V direction and correct
aspect ratio for the H direction, and the picture is also
optimized and displayed by modifying the aperture
coefficient value, filter coefficient value, etc. in Aspect
Correction mode.
