Features

PictureTrinitron1) picture tube

Trinitron tube provides a picture whose horizontal resolution is more than 600 TV lines at the center of the picture (for the PVM-14L2/PVM-20L2 only).

Comb filter

When NTSC video signals are received, a comb filter is activated to enable more accurate Y/C separation. This contributes to less of a decrease in resolution, and less cross color and cross luminance phenomena.

Beam current feedback circuit

The built-in beam current feedback circuit assures stable white balance.
