Stylish Design, Input Versatility, Flexibility

Wide Viewing Angle

The LCD panel has a wide viewing angle of 170 degrees, horizontally and vertically, enabling images to be viewed from various positions and angles.

AR-Coated Protection Panel

The LCD panel is protected from various types of damage by a highly durable protection panel. The panel has an anti-reflection (AR) coating with a high-transmission rate that reduces the effects of outside light.

■Stylish Design

These innovative two-piece type Sony LCD monitors consist of a thin, lightweight LCD monitor unit and a high-input/output, highly functional signal-processing unit. Because they are separate units, the LCD monitor is not weighed down by the circuitry of the signal-processing Multiformat Engine Unit. Consequently, its design is as thin and as light as possible – resulting in outstanding installation flexibility.

When attached to the optional monitor stand SU-558, which has a biaxial joint in the neck assembly, the LMD-170WS and LMD-230WS can be positioned at various heights and tilt angles – meeting a wide range of application needs.

■Input Versatility

Multi-Format Signal Support

The multiformat engine accepts a wide range of analog and digital signals such as NTSC, PAL, 480/60I, 575/50I, 480/60P, 576/60P, 1080/50I, 1080/60I, and 720/60P. It also accepts 1080/24PsF, con- verting it into 1080/48I and 1080/25PsF converted in 1080/50I.

It can accept one analog video signal from the following inputs, which is then output with loop-through:

1.Analog component (GBR) input

2.Analog component (Y/PB/PR) input

3.Composite (CVBS) and Y/C (S-Y, S-C) input *1

The multiformat engine also accepts one signal input from various types of analog computer signals. Incorporating a high-performance scan converter, it can accept input signals from VGA to SXGA*2.

*1 Y/C input signals must be input via BNC connectors that are converted from S connectors.

*2 SXGA images are displayed reduced.

Signal-Interface Options

The multiformat engine can receive HDSDI/SDI, SDI or DV signals via the following newly designed small-sized optional input adaptors:

SDI 4:2:2 Input Adaptor

BKM-220D

• SDI signal input (x2) • Monitor output (x1)

• Power consumption: Max. 1.5 W

HD SDI&SDI Input Adaptor

BKM-243HS

• HD SDI/SDI signal input (x2) • Monitor output (x1)

• Power consumption: Max. 2 W

HD SDI and SDI signals are automatically detected.

i.LINK® Input Adaptor

BKM-255DV

•DV signal port* (x 2) • Transfer rate: 400 Mbps

•Power consumption: Max. 4 W

The BKM-255DV accepts and outputs DV signals. However it does not accept the full AV/C command sets.

*The port has a 6-pin connector; power is not supplied through this port.

Computer Signal Memory

The multiformat engine includes sufficient memory for 17 preset computer input signals. In addition, 20 user-setting memories are available for individual user input signals.

Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) for Computer Input

Image size and shift can be automatically adjusted to their optimal settings with the one-touch APA key.

■Flexibility

Seven-Language On-Screen Display

The On-Screen Display is available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese.

Color Temperature/Gamma Selection

High/low color temperatures or user presets can be selected.

Selectable Scan Size for Video Input and Aspect Ratio

The screen size can be selected between 5% over-scan and 0% inscan modes.

The aspect ratio can be switched between 16:9 and 4:3 according to input signals.
