BVM-L170 specifications

The Sony BVM-L170 is a high-performance professional monitor that has become a staple in various broadcast and production environments. Renowned for its exceptional picture quality and advanced features, the BVM-L170 is designed for critical viewing applications in post-production, studio monitoring, and live broadcasting.

Featuring a 17-inch screen size, the BVM-L170 utilizes a high-resolution OLED display technology that delivers intense color fidelity and contrast ratios that are unattainable with traditional LCD monitors. The OLED panel provides true blacks and vibrant colors, thanks to its self-emitting pixels that eliminate the need for backlighting. This characteristic makes the BVM-L170 particularly effective for HDR (High Dynamic Range) content, where greater luminance range is essential.

One of the standout features of the BVM-L170 is its wide color gamut, supporting various color spaces, including BT.2020, which is critical for accurate color representation in modern media production. This monitor is designed with gamma and color calibration capabilities, ensuring that users can maintain precise color accuracy throughout their workflow. The BVM-L170 also supports 10-bit color depth, which enhances the gradation of colors displayed, further contributing to a richer viewing experience.

The monitor is equipped with advanced signal handling capabilities, with support for a range of input formats, from HD to 4K UHD, ensuring versatility in various production settings. It offers various input options including SDI, allowing for seamless integration into existing workflows, as well as multi-format compatibility.

Furthermore, the BVM-L170 includes advanced monitoring features, such as waveform, vectorscope, and peaking functions, enabling users to analyze signal integrity and color performance accurately. The high luminance levels, along with HDR capability, make the monitor suitable for both critical editing and grading tasks, providing professionals with the tools needed to assess their content under varying light conditions.

Additionally, the monitor's slim design and lightweight build mean it can be easily mounted or transported, making it an ideal choice for on-location shoots or studio environments.

In summary, the Sony BVM-L170 is a state-of-the-art professional monitor that embodies cutting-edge display technology and sophisticated features, making it an excellent choice for professionals in the broadcast and post-production industries. Its combination of OLED technology, wide color gamut support, advanced signal handling, and precise monitoring tools ensures that it maintains its status as a benchmark for high-quality visual monitoring.
