FEATURES
8.4” Multi-Format Color Production Monitor
The BT-LH900A greatly simplifies HD and SD monitoring on location or on a
sound stage. With its slim 2.5” profile and light 4.4 lbs. weight, the HD/SD
compatible BT-LH900A takes full advantage of the LCD panel’s space-saving
design. It is energy efficient, consuming less power than a conventional CRT
HD monitor, and its DC operation makes it ideal for outdoors applications.
The BT-LH900A is equipped with two SDI inputs automatically detecting HD
or SD, one component input (Y/Pb/Pr or RGBS), and one composite input.
The Video/CineGamma Conversion Table and built-in waveform monitor
function support HD production when using Panasonic’s VariCam HD
Cinema Camera. It easily mounts atop the VariCam and other cameras as well.
Also convenient is the separate control panel that can be mounted on the top, side, or bottom of the monitor.
Designed for side-by-side rack mounting (optional) and equipped with both DC input and Anton Bauer Gold Mount, the
BT-LH900A brings the same high level of performance and convenience to OB vans and studio/control rooms. For monitor
rack applications, up to 99 units can be controlled from an external PC via RS-232C and GPI controls.
◆ A wide 170° horizontal and vertical viewing
angle is achieved by using a high intensity,
high contrast LCD panel. Ease of viewing is
secured by reducing changes in color due
to the viewing angle.
◆ 1024 x 768 (XGA) resolution ensures high
color reproduction and tonal range
◆ Compatible with most HD and SD formats,
the BT-LH900A is ideal for a wide range of
applications in locations around the world.
◆ 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-LH900A is only
2
5
⁄8” deep and weighs just 4.4 lbs.
◆ DC operation (Anton Bauer/DC IN) makes
the BT-LH900A ideal for use outdoors.
Power consumption is very low, despite its
HD/SD compatibility.
◆ The input signal is displayed as a waveform
(graphically displays luminance levels
from -5 to108 IRE) for monitoring in the
lower right portion of the screen. When
waveforms are displayed in the16:9 mode,
the image displayed moves to the upper
part of the screen so that it will not be
superimposed onto the waveform display.
◆ The control panel can be separated from
the monitor, making the BT-LH900A
suitable for a wide range of applications,
including use as a monitor or viewfinder.
◆ In addition to its two SDI inputs
(automatic HD/SD switching) and one SDI
output, the monitor offers one component
input (Y/Pb/Pr or RGB switching) and one
composite input.
◆ Equipped with cine-gamma (F-REC)
compensation function makes it compatible
with the VariCam AJ-HDC27H camcorder.
◆ With the optional BT-MA900G, two
monitors can be rackmounted side-by-side
with vertical tilt mechanism.
