9FeaturesChapter 1 OverviewFeaturesThe BVM-F250A is 25-inch Professional Video Monitor,and the BVM-F170A is 16.5-inch Professional VideoMonitor.These are suitable for television stations or videoproduction houses, where precise image reproduction isrequired.The monitor features OLED panel and “TRIMASTER1) ”,which is a new technology developed for three elements,“accurate color reproduction”, “precision imaging” and“quality picture consistency,” that are in demand forprofessional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewingdifference that occurs due to the individuality of eachpanel. Also, the monitor realizes the high picture qualityand high-trust required for the master monitor by the colormanagement system with its wide color gamut device,high-resolution/precise gradation display, highly accuratesignal processing and panel correction function.1) TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.Advantages of OLED panel technologyThe OLED panel makes use of an organic material, whichemits light when an electric current is applied. Being self-emitting, the strength of luminescence can be controlled bythe amount of electric current. This brings about thefollowing three features:Quick motion picture response:The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be changedinstantaneously by changing the current flow in the organicmaterial. This enables a quick motion picture response andproduction of images with minimal blurring and ghosting.Furthermore, performance for shooting on location is notinfluenced by changes in environmental temperature.High contrast and wide dynamic range:The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal isapplied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to bedisplayed. Furthermore, thanks to a wide dynamic rangethe panel impressively displays brilliance and clarity ofvarious sparkling images, such as stars in a night skytwinkling, night illuminations winking or glass glittering,etc.Rich color reproduction:An OLED panel’s self-luminescence also allows for greatcolor reproduction across the entire spectrum in practicallyany shade or brightness.Sony’s Super Top Emission 2) OLED panelThe 25-type (BVM-F250A) or 16.5-type (BVM-F170A)full HD (1920 × 1080) OLED panel features Sony’s SuperTop Emission structure. Unlike the conventional bottomemission structure of TFT, Sony’s OLED panel canreproduce a crisper image due to high brightness.Furthermore, a unique microcavity structure makes RGBprimary colors purer and deeper by utilizing lightresonance effects that magnify optimum light wave lengthsand diminish undesired light wave lengths.The panel’s 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of colorshading.2) “Super Top Emission” is a trademark that represents the OLEDtechnology of Sony Corporation.12-bit precision display engine for professionaluseThe panel is equipped with a unique signal process enginedeveloped for the professional use monitor. This engineincorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, andprovides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scalingprocessing, panel driving and a highly accurate colormanagement system.Multi color spaceThe Sony’s unique OLED panel with a wide color gamutand color management system which uses the unique 3DLUT (Look Up Table) reproduces the color space thatcomplies with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBUand SMPTE-C accurately. A wider color space 3) allowsdigital cinema reproductions.3) The RGB chromaticity of SMPTE RP 431-2 is not covered in full.High-quality I/P conversion processingA high-quality picture near the original one, in whichjagged lines and conversion errors are decreased bydetecting the feature of the picture inside the subdividedblock and processing properly, is reproduced.The signal delay is decreased by judging the animation orstill picture from the past video signal.Interlace display modeThe interlace signal is displayed as the interlace picture byinserting the black line without I/P conversion processing.A picture faithful to the original signal and with the samefeel as a CRT is gained.For setting the display, see “Selecting Display Mode” onpage 88.Available to a multi signal formatThe monitor supports various input signals such as 720 ×576/50i to 1920 × 1080/50P, 60P and variable computersignals up to 1920 × 1080. The 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs,HDMI 4) and DisplayPort5) (HDCP correspondence)inputs, and four option ports are equipped for the standardinterface. If you install optional input adaptors, the monitorexpands inputs of 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or SD-SDI, andsupports Dual-link HD-SDI, RGB, YPbPr, Y/C, andcomposite signal inputs.4) The terms HDMI and HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface, andthe HDMI Logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMILicensing LLC in the United States and other countries.
