■ Stylish Design
These innovative two-piece type Sony LCD monitors consist of a thin,
lightweight LCD monitor unit and highly functional signal-processing
unit with many inputs and outputs. Because they are separate
units, the LCD monitor is not weighed down by the circuitry of
the signal-processing Multiformat Engine Unit (MEU). 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-170W and LMD-230W
can be positioned at various heights and tilt angles – meeting a wide
range of application needs.
■ Input Versatility

Multi-Format Signal Support

The MEU-WX1 accepts a wide range of analog and digital signals
such as NTSC, PAL, 480/60I, 575/50I, 480/60P, 576/50P, 1080/50I,
1080/60I, and 720/60P. It also accepts 1080/24PsF, converting 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 MEU-WX1 also accepts one signal input from various types of
analog computer signals. Incorporating a high-performance scan
converter, it can accept input signals from VGAto SXGA*2.
*1 Y/C input signals must be input via BNC connectors that are converted from
S-Video connectors.
*2 SXGAimages are downconverted for display.

Signal-Interface Options

The MEU-WX1 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: 1.5 W
HD/D1-SDI Input Adaptor

BKM-243HS

• HD SDI/SDI signal input (x2) • Monitor output (x1)
• Power consumption: 2 W
HD SDI and SDI signals are automatically detected.
DV Input Adaptor

BKM-255DV

• DV signal port* (x 2) • Transfer rate: 400 Mbps
• Power consumption: 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. And power is not supplied through this port.

Computer Signal Memory

The MEU-WX1 includes sufficient memory for 16 preset computer
input signals.

Smart APA(Auto Pixel Alignment) for Computer Input

Image size can be automatically adjusted to their optimal settings
with the one-touch APAkey.
■ 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.

Various Markers

The following marker functions are available: safety area marker, 4:3
marker, 2.35:1 marker, and 4:3 & 1.85:1 box marker - convenient for
movie makers.

Three-Color Tally

The tally lamp can be lit up via a parallel remote connector, and the sta-
tus of the monitor can be identified by the tally color – red, green, or
amber.
