FEATURES
9” Handheld Type LUMA Monitors
Sony’s compact 9” LUMA monitors offer a great level of monitoring convenience in the field
and the studio. Their one piece design results in less weight and size, while maintaining the
user-friendly interfaces. Small sized LCD monitor with multi format support allows usage
in various applications such as shooting, OB van, control room, ENG and editing systems.
Employing a 640 x 480 (VGA) or 1024 x 768 (XGA) LCD panel with high brightness,
contrast, and fast response, they offer a picture quality with excellent color reproduction
even in outdoor or bright ambient light. The panels also offer a wide viewing angle of
170°when viewed both up and down, and side to side. A multi-layered AR coating reduces
exterior light reflection and protects the panel from shock or scratches.
All three models can display HD images using their analog component inputs. The monitors can be AC, DC, or battery
driven so that they can be hand-held, situated on a desk, or mounted in standard racks. They have extensive built-in
input/outputs for many formats. Standard inputs include composite, S-Video, analog HD/SD component and RGB.
LMD-9020
◆
For typical SD (standard definition) video
monitoring, they are equipped with inter-
faces for analog composite (NTSC/PAL),
component/RGB and S-Video. The LMD-
9030 adds SD-SDI input capability. The top-
of-the-line LMD-9050 accepts a variety of
digital progressive SD and HD formats
through its HD-SDI interface. These include
480p, 720p, 1080i/ as well as 1080/24PsF.
◆ They provide high-brightness and high con-
trast images by using wide aperture LCD
panels. In addition, precisely manufactured
RGB color filters allows them to reproduce
colors with stunning depth and saturation –
creating highly natural images.
◆ The LCD panels have a wide viewing angle
of 170°, both horizontally and vertically, with
minimal reduction in picture contrast.
◆ Robust AR-coating minimizes the chance of
the panels being scratched during trans-
portation – extremely important when using
in the field or in mobile applications. The AR
coating also keeps reflection from ambient
light to a minimum. As a result, when used
in bright lighting, high contrast is still main-
tained even in dark areas of the picture.
◆ Ideal for use in ENG and EFP operations, the
picture contrast of these monitors is affect-
ed less by ambient light, allowing clear
images to be viewed even under strong sun-
light. For further protection, the optional VF-
509 ENG kit provides a viewing hood, carry-
ing handle, and connector protector.
◆ Switchable ( 4:3 and 16:9) scan aspect ratio
◆ Blue only and monochrome modes. Scan
size can be selected between 5% over-scan,
0%, and -3% underscan modes.
◆ They can display various area markers,
including a center and aspect marker with
selectable brightness and widths.
◆ High/low color temperatures or user preset
can be selected. A variety of gamma modes
can also be selected.
◆ They are equipped with a 3-color tally lamp
that can be lit up via a parallel remote con-
nector. Each is equipped with a .5W speaker
enabling monaural audio monitoring
◆ They can be controlled remotely (27 func-
tions) via their parallel remote connectors.
◆ The monitors are 5U high and half-rack
wide. Using the optional MB-525 Mounting
Bracket (nine-step tilt capability), two units
can be installed side-by-side in a 19˝ rack.
