Operational Convenience
Like the earlier BVM Series CRT moni-
tors, the BVM-L230 monitor can display
various markers, including an aspect
marker, safe area marker, and centre
marker. In addition to this flexible selec-
tion of marker types, detailed display
settings of each marker are offered.
For example, the colour, the brightness,
horizontal/ vertical position and width
of aspect markers can all be con-
trolled, while the height and width of
safe area markers can be adjusted.
What’s more, users can also choose to
display two safe area markers, each
selectable between three marker vari-
ations. These flexible marker controls,
together with the choice of many
different marker types such as aspect
marker types (lines or aspect blanking)
and centre marker types (long or short),
make the BVM-L230 monitor the
perfect all-round display device for a
variety of shooting scenarios – from SD/
HD video acquisition to digtal cinema-
tography.
