FEATURES
Highest Possible Quality
◆ To provide the highest possible picture
quality, they are equipped with CRTs using
SMPTE-C standard phosphors. They are also
designed to provide most accurate phosphor
chromaticity, white uniformity, and color
temperature, thereby achieving extremely
faithful color reproduction. Their internal
beam current feedback circuit maintains a
constant color temperature over a long
period of time.
Inputs/Outputs
◆ With the appropriate input boards installed,
they support the full spectrum of SD and HD
signals with frequency responses ranging
from15 kHz to 45 kHz (horizontal)/48 Hz to
60 Hz (vertical). Input signals are scanned on
the CRT raster at their native frequencies and
native line counts, with no scan conversion
processes involved.
◆ They offer offer dual-link HD-SDI capability.
Using two HDSDI connectors in a pair, they
allow a variety of digital 4:4:4 HD signals to
be accepted in both RGB and component
signal formats.
Advanced Operation
◆ They use a modular slot design, so inputs can
be configured according to individual needs.
Three input slots are available. Optional input
boards can be installed in any slot, and in any
combination. The option boards utilize only
one slot each, so up to three cards can be
installed for maximum flexibility.
◆ Their modular design, in which the monitor
and control panel are provided as separate
units, allows for greater flexibility in system
integration. The optional BKM-15R Monitor
Control Unit can be attached below the
BVM-A20F1U using the optional BKM-35H
Attachment Kit (BVM-A14F5U doesn’t need
an attachment kit).
◆ The monitors and BKM-15R are equipped
with ethernet ports, allowing remote control
of display parameters across a standard
Ethernet connection. Up to 31 monitors can
be controlled from a single BKM-15R.
◆ The BKM-15R has a Memory Stick slot to save
and load monitor setups and adjustment on
Memory Stick media. Allows data to be
exchanged between units so that the same
setup and adjustment status is retained.
Marker Settings
◆ The monitors can display various markers,
including an aspect marker, safe area marker,
and center marker. In addition to this flexible
selection of marker types, detailed display
settings of each marker are offered.
– For example, the brightness, horizontal
position, and width of aspect markers can all
be controlled, while the height and width of
safe area markers can also be adjusted. Users
can also choose to display the title of the safe
area marker, and select its position and size.
– These flexible marker controls, together with
the choice of many different marker selections,
make them the ideal displays for a variety of
shooting scenarios – from SD/HD video
acquisition to digital cinematography.
Remote Maintenance
They support the SNMP protocol through their
ethernet ports, which allows maintenance
information to be monitored. By using
compatible remote maintenance software, it is
possible to monitor the display’s status as well
as upgrade software via a Local Area Network.
14- and 20” Master-Grade Monitors
Master-grade 4:3 CRT monitors, the
BVM-A14F5U (14”) and BVM-A20F1U
(20”) support multi-format inputs,
accepting a range of SD and HD signal
formats, with the added capability
of dual-link HD-SDI input to monitor
top-quality images up to 1080/50i|
and1080/60i 4:4:4 RGB.
The monitors are user configurable with
three different option slots in which the
user can choose any combination of the
three available input option boards. They use the same optional input boards thus allowing sharing between the monitors.
They also incorporates an Ethernet — based control system, allowing standard network cables and hubs to be used for easy
configuration, high reliability, and high communication speed. And for monitor setup and control, logical menu structures
and Auto Setup capabilities further facilitate system setup. Designed to meet the critical needs of today and tomorrow, the
BVM-A14F5U and BVM-A20F1U is the choice for high-grade monitoring application in studio production, post-production,
telecine and broadcast operations.
