this is not a rehearsal.

… with medical equipment, the new LMD-181MD and

LMD-151MD LCD monitors from Sony not only

deliver uncompromising performance but also

comply with key safety requirements.

Because

to take chances

…

you can’t afford

Ideal for use in endoscopy, surgery, patient monitoring, microscopy and more, these monitors offer the high resolution, superb brightness and wide viewing angles your complex tasks demand.

They also accept a range of video and computer signals. These monitors are easy to customise to your specific needs

and built-in security features help prevent inadvertent operation.

Computer Input Capability

Incorporating a high-performance scan converter, the LMD-181MD accepts signals from VGA to SXGA, and the LMD-151MD accepts signals up to XGA. The scan converter can be turned off to view unconverted images in the original resolution.

Video Input Capability

With an optional input adaptor, the LMD-181MD/151MD can accept video signals (NTSC, PAL and HD). The choice of input adaptors enables the LMD-181MD/151MD to be installed in a wide range of applications.

BKM-120D

• D1 SDI (4:2:2) signal input (x2)

• Active output with loop-through (x2) High-speed transmission of component digital signals can be achieved.

BKM-129X

• Analogue component (Y/P

B/PR, GBR)

with loop-through BNC (x1)

• EXT SYNC with loop-through BNC (x1) Provides multiformat signal support, accepting RGB signals ranging from 480/60I to 1080/60I.

* The BKM-129X does not support computer signals.

BKM-127W

• Analogue composite (NTSC/PAL) with loop-through BNC (x2)

• Y/C with loop-through Mini DIN 4-pin (x1)

With precise signal decoding, it offers accurate colour reproduction of composite signals. Also, by adopting Sony Digital 3-lines Comb Filter, noise such as cross-luminance can be substantially reduced.

High Performance LCD Panel

Natural colour reproduction The LCD panel

used in the LMD-181MD/151MD monitors provides high-contrast images with natural colour reproduction. Incorporating a colour filter with broad colour gamut, the panel delicately reproduces the shades of colour, and with excellent continuity in colour ramps, it displays images that are rich and natural.

High clarity Sharp, crisp images are provided by

the high-resolution LCD panel*. High response time and excellent linearity maintain image smoothness across the screen. And, because the panel is flicker-free and has resistance to magnetic fields, reproduction is clear and consistent.

High brightness The high light output of these

monitors allows images to be clearly displayed, even in brightly lit environments.

Wide viewing angle The LCD panel has a wide

viewing angle of 170 degrees, horizontally and vertically, so you can view images from various positions and angles.

Double-Layer AR-Coated Protection Panel

The LCD panel is protected from various types of damage by a high-durable protection panel. The panel has a double-layered anti-reflection coating that reduces diffused light reflection for clear, high-contrast images. Each layer of coats provides a different refractive index, so that overall reflectiveness of the panel is approximately

60% less compared with single-layer coating and 80% less compared with anti-glare coating. High transmission efficiency is also achieved with this anti-reflection finish.

Fluid-resistant structure

Especially designed for medical environments, the LMD-181MD/151MD monitors are resistant to liquid and chemical spills and splashes.

Protected controls

The key inhibit switch prevents inadvertent operation from the control panel.

Parallel remote*

Direct control of inputs, aspect ratio,etc. is possible.

Advanced ergonomic design

The LMD-181MD/151MD has obtained ISO13406 certification, which standardises the ergonomic requirements for visual displays based on flat panels.

APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) for computer input

Image size and shift can be automatically adjusted to their optimal settings with the one-touch APA key.

Horizontal size and position control

Dot phase, size and position can be manually controlled.

Overscan function for video input

Overscan mode can be selected among 0% • 5% • 10%.

Stereo speakers** Seven-language On-Screen Display

The On-Screen Display is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese and Chinese.

Power saving function

The LMD-181MD/151MD automatically switches to standby/off mode when no signal input is detected.

Low EMC and EMI emissions Two types of ground earth terminals VESA mounting standard

Complying with the VESA standards of 100 mm hole spacings, the LMD-181MD/151MD can easily be mounted on a wall or from the ceiling.

Optional monitor stand

A stand is provided as an option. When attached, the monitor can be tilted 0/10/20/30 degrees.

Colour temperature/gamma selection

High/low colour temperatures and five gamma presets can be selected

DDC-2B Plug & Play 20 User memories for computer signals Low power consumption Selectable aspect ratio and HD

centre 4:3 zoom for video input

Aspect ratio can be selected between 4:3 and 16:9 depending on the video source. When HD signal is input, the centre part of the 16:9 HD image can be displayed as a 4:3 image, while closely maintaining the resolution of the original source.

Contrast adjustment

The LMD-181MD/151MD has a wide dynamic range for adjusting contrast, by varying the backlight brightness and the signal level together.
