Overview:
The BVM-L231 reference LCD monitor supersedes the market leading BVM-A series CRT models, heralding in a new era in broadcast post-production, D-Cinema production, evaluation and mastering. A premium Sony technology - TRIMASTER - is used in the BVM-L231 to produce an LCD monitor fully justifying the Reference designation. In developing TRIMASTER, the technology had to deliver accurate colour reproduction, precision imaging and absolute picture consistency. Sony has achieved this through 3 key devices: a high-grade customised LCD Panel, a precision High-Purity LED Backlight system and a sophisticated Display Engine.

The high-grade customised LCD panel incorporates a 10-bit driver for smooth greyscale and colour transitions, and possesses a high frame rate allowing black-frame insertion for reduced motion blur.

The Precision Backlight system uses High Purity LEDs - delivering wide reference-standard colour space, uniformity control and colour stability through the auto white-balance circuitry.

The display engine uses 2 state-of-the-art ICs employing accurate 12-bit output processing - one dedicated to I/P conversion, producing the lowest possible artefact count, and one focussed on the highly accurate colour management system, delivering stability, consistency and precise standards emulation. The BVM-L231 also benefits from picture and picture and blend modes plus a pixel zoom function for greater user flexibility.The BVM-L231 accepts all video formats up to 3G SDI with the optional BKM-250TG input board. It is also equipped with HDMI interface as standard.

Finally, a new backlight scanning system is integrated to improve the black level reproduction when Black Frame insertion mode is selected. With its exceptional performance and the advantages of LCD, the BVM-L231 is a deserving successor to CRT broadcast reference monitors.

This product comes with PrimeSupport – fast, hassle-free repairs and a helpline offering expert technical advice. Which gives you the peace of mind that Sony is looking after your equipment, and your business.
Features

Full HD Panel with 10-bit Driver

The BVM-L231 achieves both high resolution and stunning colour depth using a full 1920 x 1200 HD LCD panel and precise 10-bit drivers. It delivers outstandingly crisp, high brightness and high contrast HD images in Native mode.

LCD Panel Calibration

Each and every BVM-L231 monitor is carefully calibrated at the factory on an individual basis, providing a high level of accuracy and stability for characteristics such as gamma and uniformity.

Ultra-high Precision Uniformity Correction

White can be reproduced uniformly at every point of the screen on the BVM-L231. This is due to the use of two advanced technologies: precise adjustment of the LCD panel characteristics and sophisticated LED backlight control.

High-Purity Precision LED Backlight

Provides an exceptionally broad colour gamut for faithful colour display, as well as delivering precise picture uniformity and stability.

Nonlinear Cubic Conversion Colour Management System

The nonlinear cubic conversion colour management system uses a unique 3D LUT to reproduce an extremely wide colour gamut, thus offering more accurate colour reproduction.

Accurate, Repeatable and Stable Colour Reproduction

The innovative precision LED backlight and Colour Management System deliver accurate and consistent colour temperature right across the greyscale range. Consequently, the monitor can emulate ITU-709, SMPTE-C, and EBU colour spaces with ease. It can also emulate D-Cinema colour gamut

Auto White-Balance Function

The BVM-L231 can perform automatic colour temperature adjustments when connected to an external colour analyzer (such as those from Minolta, DK and X-Rite).

High Accuracy Display Engine

The BVM-L231 uses a 12-bit output display engine, which allows images to be reproduced with high precision for accurate evaluation and manipulation.

Sophisticated Interlace to Progressive Algorithm

The BVM-L231 uses a sophisticated I/P conversion technique that keeps artefacts that are often seen in typical LCD monitors to a minimum, such as edge jaggedness, conversion errors, and ensure a picture delay that is less than one field.

Interlace Display Mode

Faithfully reproduces interlaced signals, emulating CRT monitors.

Input Versatility

The BVM-L231 can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital, plus PC signals from VGA to WUXGA (1920 x 1200). In addition to a HDMI and DVI-D interface equipped as standard, four option board slots are offered to configure the BVM-L230 monitor according to different user needs.

Multi-Format Signal Support - Up to 3G SDI

The BVM-L231 is capable of displaying an exceptionally broad range of signal formats with an extremely high degree of colour accuracy. These include: composite video formats NTSC, PAL & SECAM, analogue components RGB & Y/C, and multi-format signals 480/60i, 480/60p, 575/50i, 575/50p, 720/50p, 720/60p, 1080/24p, 1080/24psf, 1080/25p, 1080/25psf, 1080/30p, 1080/30psf, 1080/50i, 1080/50p, 1080/60i, 1080/60p, 2048x1080 (2K)and PC signals from VGA to WUXGA.

It also supports Dual-Link HD-SDI signals: 10-bit 4:4:4 RGB 1920x1080-50i/60i & 24/25/30p/psf; 10-bit 4:2:2 1920x1080-50p/60p, and 12-bit 4:4:4 XYZ 2048x1080-24p/24psf.

3G SDI Input

The BVM-L231 has a 3G SDI input capability. On Sony's monitors, the 3G SDI interface is compliant with the SMPTE 425 standard, transmitting up to 4:2:2/10-bit 1080/60P video data using one SDI cable. This single-link system is known as a SD-SDI or HD-SDI system, but it can also handle both Dual-Link HD-SDI and 3G SDI video data with the use of Sony's 3G SDI interface. This 3G SDI interface enables the BVM-L231 monitor to accept 50P and 60P video data. Where an upgrade to a Dual-Link HD-SDI system is necessary, this single-link 3G SDI system is the ideal alternative.

Dual Image Processing

Image Side by Side, Wipe, Butterfly and Blend modes provide users with enhanced operational flexibility.

New Pixel Zoom Mode

Allows picture magnification up to 800% without scaling.

Black Frame Insertion Mode

Dramatically reduces motion blur - a problem common to many LCD monitors.

S-Log Gamma

S-Log is the original logarithmic gamma developed for the F35 series CineAlta camera. It enables to transmit the full Dynamic of the camera over 700%. The monitor S-Log anti Gamma function allows displaying the full dynamic range on the screen.

Separate Control unit with memory stick slot

The Memory Stick socket located in the BKM-16R control unit enables users to download and save all monitor set-ups such as input channel configuration, control preset adjustments, white balance settings and maintenance parameters.

Centralised Monitor-Wall Control

Multiple monitors can be easily managed by a single control unit via a serial RJ45 Ethernet connector.
