Introduction

The BT-LS1400 commercial-use LCD video monitor features a 14 v-type LCD screen, a slim and lightweight design, and a wide angle of view. Its connectors support not only standard NTSC signal input but S-Video, 480i , P component signal input and SD SDI (optional) input as well.

∫ Wide angle of view

∫ Functions

By using an LCD screen with a wide angle of view, exceptional image visibility is assured across wide angle ranges in both the top-bottom and left-right directions.

This monitor is equipped with a blue-only function for adjusting the hue, and an underscanning function for displaying the whole screen.

∫Color temperature, gamma correction

The color temperature complies with the D65 and D93 standards while gamma correction is set to the 2.2 curve.

∫REMOTE connector

This enables parallel remote input control which in turn makes it possible to select functions.

∫Mode settings

Users can choose between three modes: the image pro- duction mode (BROADCAST), the general user image- receiving mode (GENERAL), and the user setting mode (USER).
