PANASONIC BT-LH80WU HD MONITOR W/ WAVEFORM

Panasonic BTLH80 Rear

The Panasonic BT-LH80WU Multi-Format LCD is a 7.9″ color display/viewfinder designed to be used for high definition field monitoring. The display boasts features usually not found on LCDs of this size, including pixel-to-pixel and focus-in-red functions. The monitor can also be interfaced with a variety of Panasonic series cameras through a direct 15-Pin viewfinder connection. In addition to its wide array of features, the BT-LH80WU can be mounted side-by-side in any standard 19″ rack system.

• Format Compatibility
The BT-LH80WU handles almost any format in standard or high definition and can be customized to switch between them automatically. There is no flipping a switch, accessing a menu, or turning a knob.

• Waveform Picture-In-Picture
The LCD will display the input signal as a waveform image. This can be vital for proper color correction and white balancing, especially when conditions make it hard to calibrate by eye.

• CineGamma Function
The included CineGamma function, specifically designed to be used with the Varicam, provides the camera operator with precision color reproduction.

• High Viewable Angle
A 170° vertical and horizontal viewing angle ensures that you can continue to view the LCD no matter where you are. This can be useful during productions where space is limited.

• Low Power Consumption
The ability to conserve energy in the field is especially important when shooting without access to a constant power source. The BT-LH80WU consumes a very small amount of power, making it ideal as both a field monitor and personal viewfinder.

• Rack Mountable
The optional RAK-80 can be used to house two LCDs side-by-side in a standard 19″ racking system.

PANASONIC BTLH2550 HD SDI MONITOR

Panasonic BTLH2550 Rear

The Panasonic BT-LH2550 is a 26″ widescreen monitor designed for broadcast and studio applications. The LCD has sophisticated technology to improve upon color space while utilizing advanced processing technology which can reproduce color and contrast qualities exceeding traditional CRT monitors. The model is also capable of displaying HDTV formats and frame rates along with NTSC and PAL systems.

Broadcast Quality
The BT-LH2550 is suitable for broadcast and professional applications. The monitor compensates for RGB accuracy in 256 discrete steps. The rated gamma properties (g = 2.2) are reproduced and the gradation suitable for broadcasting is achieved. Color temperature is selectable from 3 preset values, 9300K, 6500K and 5600K as well as totally custom settings ranging from 3000K to 9300K.

Diagonal Line Compensation
A special circuit compensating for noise caused from diagonal lines has been developed for the BT-LH2550. This processing reduces the occurrences of jagged noise in the diagonal direction, not just vertically in the field, by detecting correlations and making optimal interpolations.

Color Space Conversion
The BT-LH2550 uses a technology to produce the same EBU-based colors as CRT monitors. Colors on CRTs appear different from those in LCD monitors due to slight differences in the monitor’s chromatic range. Color-Space Conversion compensates for these differences.

Analog and Digital Inputs
This monitor is compatible with multiple HD and SD formats. Two SDI inputs with automatic switching between HD and SD comes standard. The monitor is also equipped with one SDI output, a Component input (Y/Pb/Pr) with RGB switching, Y/C and Composite Video. The RGB input selection is compatible with computer input.

Waveform Monitoring
The BT-LH2550 will display the input signal as a waveform image. The waveform monitor screen can be picture-in-picture on top the video image and the overlay picture can be placed in any of the screen’s four corners.
