tom — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:51:11 +0000

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.

HD/SD-SDI Included The monitor comes equipped with two multi-format auto-switching HD/SD-SDI inputs, allowing it to handle uncompressed signals often used in studio environments. The inputs are coated in gold plating for additional protection against corrosion, preventing signal loss. 1:1 Pixel Scanning The option to switch to 1:1 pixel-by-pixel accuracy, which incorporates no image scaling, can be extremely useful in a variety of applications such as focus assist. Accurate Color Reproduction JVC has gone to great length to ensure users achieve the maximum possible accuracy imaginable. The LCD can reproduce colors to precisely conform with ITU standards. Rack-mounted Design The LCD can be used in any standard 19" EIA racking system, using only 4 rack units. The monitor is also VESA compliant for those who want to mount the display on a wall.

PANASONIC BTLH2550 HD SDI MONITOR

tom — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:49:11 +0000

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.

MARSHALL VR70PHDA HD MONITOR

tom — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 17:46:49 +0000

The Marshall V-R70P-HDA is a very high quality 7-inch LCD monitor designed for video-assist and general field production. This monitor incorporates sophisticated images processing, scaling and interpolation for optimum analog to digital conversion and the best possible picture display. The 3-BNC Component Video input will decode both standard definition and HD signals. It can be run off Sony-type V-mount batteries or any 4-pin XLR power supply. A 1/4-20 mounting plate can be attached to any edge of the monitor. A rack mount kit is available as an optional accessory. Image Conversion The V-R70P-HDA as the ability to accept analog video signals, even very high quality 3-BNC HD/SD Component Video. Analog signals are digitized using an advanced 10-bit process with 4x over-sampling and adaptive 5 line comb filter. Video is scaled to fit on screen in the highest resolution using a state of the art LSI that incorporates 4 x 4 pixel interpolation with precision Gamma correction to product the best images available. Built for Field Production This monitor has an optical grade polycarbonate screen cover that is scratch resistant while defeating reflection and glare. TFT technology gives the monitor a wide viewing range of 130° horizontal and 120° vertical. Its bright readout can be seen in even in difficult ambient lighting conditions. Widescreen and Conventional World-Wide Compatibility The V-R70P-HDA can display 16:9 and 4:3 aspect video as native images. The unit also auto-detects both NTSC and PAL system video so it can be used almost anywhere in the world. DC Power Options This monitor was obviously designed for use as a field production tool. If your camera package uses the popular V-mount batteries, this monitor can be powered in the same manner. The manufacturer estimates a single fully charged 50 watt/hour battery can power the monitor for 4-6 hours. A 4-pin XLR input allows the unit to be powered via any professional DC power supply. Flexible Production Capabilities Even though the V-R70P-HDA appears to be a well constructed monitor for video-assist or camera mounting, it can also find a place in a control room setting.
