BT-LH 80W
548
Multi-Format 7.9” Widescreen LCD
Monitor/Viewfinder
The BT-LH80W is a production-quality high-definition/standard-definition LCD
monitor for studio and field applications. Bringing exceptional price/performance
functionality to this size class of LCD monitoring, the lightweight, low-power
BT-LH80W produces exceptional color reproduction and gradation and is
designed to work in environments ranging from the edit room to the production
truck, from newsgathering to field production. The display boasts features usually
not found on LCDs of this size, including pixel-to-pixel and focus-in-red functions.
In addition to supporting a full range of HD and SD production equipment, the
monitor can also be interfaced with a variety of Panasonic series cameras through
a direct15-pin viewfinder connection.
◆ Industry-lowest circuit delay time of 5 msec
is realized by an I/P (image processing)
circuit that converts SD and HD interlace
signals with high precision and generates
a progressive signal without causing
field-length delay. Minimizing the delay
between the input signal and monitor
output enables the user to confirm footage
without any incongruity.
◆ Diagonal Line compensation reduces the
occurrence of jagged noise in the
diagonal direction for improved response,
and smooth, precision reproduction of
moving images.
◆ Compatible with most HD and SD formats,
the BT-LH80W is ideal for a wide range of
applications in locations around the world.
◆ The input signal is displayed as a waveform
(graphically displays luminance levels from
-5 to 108 IRE) for monitoring in the lower
right portion of the screen.
◆ Simple Cross Hatch overlay function (at 50
dots interval, fixed) allows users to check
camera tilt and composition. You can
allocate the cross hatch function to any of
the three “Function” keys.
◆ Equipped with a 15-pin viewfinder terminal,
the BT-LH80W can be used as an electronic
viewfinder for Panasonic HD cameras,
including the shoulder mount AJ-HDC27H
VariCam, AJ-HDX900, AJ-HPX2000 and
AG-HPX500. You can also run the BT-LH80W
on DC power supplied by these camcorders.
Connection is easy, requiring only a
viewfinder cable and DC power cable.
◆ Allows SDI input with optional BT-YA80G, &
equipped with component (Y/PB/PR) input.
◆ Built with a die-cast aluminum frame, the
monitor is field proven and tough enough
to travel.
◆ Making full use of the LCD panel’s thinness
and light weight, the BT-LH80W is only 2
5
⁄8”
deep and weighs just 3.3 lbs.
◆ DC operation (Anton Bauer/DC IN) makes it
ideal for use outdoors. Power consumption
is very low, despite its HD/SD compatibility.
◆ Two focus assist functions — Focus-in-Red
and Pixel-to-Pixel Matching — address the
growing need for critical camera focusing in
HD acquisition.
— Focus-in-Red emphasizes the sharply
focused area of the image by showing it in
an easily visible red, making it easier to
focus the camera.
— Pixel-to-Pixel allows the you to see an input
signal pixel by pixel without any resizing,
effectively confirming an image in a size
equivalent to a 19” widescreen display (with
a 1080/60i input signal).
