Superb Picture Performance
Sony TRIMASTER EL technology combines the ultimate performance of Sony OLED display with the highly sophisticated TRIMASTER technology to provide the highest level of picture performance:
- Accurate Black Reproduction
- High purity and accurate colour reproduction
- Quick response with virtually no motion blur
- High Contrast Performance
-
Super Top Emission™ technology
Sony's Super Top Emission™ technology has a micro-cavity structure which incorporates colour filters. The micro-cavity structure uses an optical resonance effect to enhance colour purity and improve light-emission efficiency. In addition, the colour filter of each RGB further enhances the colour purity of emitted light, and reduces ambient light reflection.
-
Ultimate Display Engine
High-precision signal processing engine has been developed to fulfil the reference monitor criteria and is optimized to maximize OLED panel performance. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and provides both a high quality I/P conversion algorithm and a highly accurate colour management system.
-
Multi-format signal support
The BVM-E170 monitor can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital, and variable computer signals up to 1920 × 1080. In addition to the standard inputs, four option board slots are offered to configure this monitor according to different user needs.
-
Versatile video inputs
This monitor is equipped as standard with two 3G/HD/SD-SDI inputs, an HDMI (with HDCP) input and a Displayport* for future expansion. In addition, four option ports are available.
* DisplayPort input will be supported from monitor software version 1.1 or later. -
Four Slots for Optional Video Input Decoders
The monitor can accept up to four optional video input boards simultaneously. Available formats include analogue, composite, Y/C, components, RGB and digital 3G/HD/SD SDI.
-
3D signal analyzing functions (3D signal input, 2D display)
By installing the optional BKM-250TG 3G/HD-SDI input adaptor*, the BVM-E170 can support a variety of 3D signal analyzes. The 3D signals* are displayed in 2D mode.
- Difference display
- Checkerboard display
- L/R switch display
- Horopter check display
- Flip H display
* Requires the BKM-250TG 3G-SDI input adaptor (serial number 7200001 or later). 3D signals are not displayed in stereoscopic view. -
Auto White Balance
The colour temperature and white balance of BVM-E and F Series monitors can be automatically adjusted by the Auto White Balance function using specified colour temperature probes, such as the Konica Minolta CA-210, CS-200, DK-Technologies PM5639/06, and X-Rite i1 (Eye-One) Pro.
-
High Quality I/P Conversion Technology
The BVM-E170 monitor uses a sophisticated I/P conversion technique that keeps artefacts that are often seen in flat panel displays to a minimum such as edge jaggedness, conversion errors, etc.
-
Low video delay
The BVM-E170 display engine ensures a picture delay that is less than one field.
-
Panel Calibration
Every BVM-E170 monitor is carefully calibrated at the factory on an individual basis, providing a high level of accuracy and stability for characteristics such as gamma and uniformity.
-
Colour Feedback System
Using a colour feedback system, the BVM-E170 monitor achieves the stability required for Broadcast critical monitoring applications.
-
Interlaced Display Mode
Faithfully reproduces interlaced signals, emulating CRT monitors.
-
Picture
The unique Picture
-
Gamut Error Display
BVM-E170 master monitor incorporates a Gamut Error Display function that detects irregular signal input.
-
S-LOG Gamma
BVM-E170 master monitor incorporates gamma tables to reproduce images captured using S-LOG Gamma technology. S-LOG gamma is a technique used in Sony's digital cinematography cameras that allows the full latitude of the camera CCD to be maintained throughout the production chain.
-
2K Picture Resolution
The 2048 Image Slide function of the BVM-E170 allows 2K resolution (2048 x 1080 pixels) images to be mapped, pixel-to-pixel, on the full-HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) panel without picture degradation.
-
HD Frame Capture Mode
The HD Frame Capture function of the BVM-F Series allows a picture frame from the 3G-SDI and HD-SDI input to be captured and saved as a picture file on a Memory Stick™ media.
-
Separate Control unit with memory stick slot
A separate control unit BKM-16R is available for the BVM-E170. It is equipped with a Memory Stick socket enables users to download and save all monitor set-ups such as input channel configuration, control preset adjustments, white balance settings and maintenance parameters.
-
Centralised Monitor-Wall Control
Multiple monitors can be easily managed by a single control unit BKM-16R via an Ethernet connection.
