Separate control unit (BVM-20FIU/20FIE/ 20EIU/20EIE/14FIU/14FIE/14EIU/14EIE only) The BVM-20F1U/20F1E/20E1U/20E1E/14F1U/ 14F1E/14E1U/14E1E are controlled by a separate control unit, such as a BKM-10R/11R Monitor Control Unit. Use of a separate control unit reduces the space needed for the equipment. With the BVM-20F1U/ 20F1E/20E1U/20E1E, it is also possible to attach the BKM-10R with an optional BKM-32H Monitor Control Unit Attachment Kit.

Controlling monitor groups

Up to 32 monitors can be controlled from this monitor. First, the built-in menu system is used to assign a monitor address number to each monitor, divide the monitors into groups, and assign a group number to each group. Then you can use this monitor to control individual monitors or monitor groups simply by entering monitor address or group numbers. You can also execute the same operation on all connected monitors, or use this monitor to put all connected monitors into the same setup and adjustment state.

Setup and adjustment with the monitor memory card

You can use an optional BKM-12Y Monitor Memory Card to save and load monitor setup and adjustment data. If your system includes more than one monitor, you can use the monitor memory cards to exchange data between monitors. This makes it easy to put all monitors in your system into the same setup and adjustment state.

Standard auto alignment system

Decoder chroma and phase adjustment, as well as color temperature control, may be performed with the auto alignment system. This makes it possible to coordinate settings among multiple monitors.

Expandable input capability

The input connector configuration may be easily modified by simply sliding optional decoder adaptors or input expansion adaptors into input option slots at the rear of the monitor. The BVM-20F1U/20F1E/ 20E1U/20E1E/14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E may be fitted with up to four adaptors, and the BVM-14F1U/ 14F1E/14E1U/14E1E will accept two.

4:3/16:9 dual aspect ratio design

The monitors can be changed to either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio with just a simple switching operation. The screen can be also changed to 4:3 or 16:9 display by the replacement of a mask (no tools required).

Stable color temperature

The internal beam current feedback circuit maintains a constant color temperature over long periods of time.

Blue-only mode convenient for monitoring noise

All three CRT cathodes can be driven with a blue signal, producing a monochrome display. This mode is convenient for chroma and phase adjustment, and for monitoring VTR noise.

Menu operation

The monitor’s various functions and operating conditions can be set with on-screen menus.
