17-inch Multi-format Widescreen LCD Reference Monitor
The BVM-L170 reference LCD monitor extends the multiple award winning technology of the BVM-L230 to a 17-inch screen size and is the first in the range that can be powered with 24V DC - allowing outdoor operation.
BVM-L Series reference LCD monitors supersede the acclaimed BVM-A series CRT models, heralding a new era in broadcast post-production, D-Cinema production, evaluation and mastering. LCD displays are replacing CRT monitors due to operational flexibility and lower overall ownership cost. The BVM-L170 is a state-of-the-art product that surpasses the performance of its CRT predecessors.
A new Sony technology - TRIMASTER -delivers accurate colour reproduction, precision imaging and absolute picture consistency. Sony designers achieved this through three key devices: a high-grade customised LCD panel, a new precision high-purity LED backlight system and a sophisticated display engine.
The high-grade customised LCD panel incorporates a 10-bit driver for smooth greyscale and colour transitions, and possesses a high frame rate capability allowing black frame insertion for much reduced motion blur.
The new Precision Backlight system utilises High Purity LEDs - these deliver wide reference-standard colour space, uniformity control and colour stability through the auto white-balance circuitry.
The display engine uses two state-of-the-art ICs employing accurate 12-bit output processing - one dedicated to I/P conversion, producing the lowest possible artefact count, and one focussed on the highly accurate colour management system, delivering stability, consistency and precise standards emulation.
The BVM-L170 also benefits from picture & picture mode, pixel zoom function and HD Frame capture for greater user flexibility.
With its exceptional performance and the clear LCD advantages of light weight, reduced depth and installation flexibility, the BVM-L170 is a deserving successor to CRT broadcast reference monitors.

Auto White-Balance Function
The BVM-L170 can perform automatic colour temperature adjustments when connected to an external colour analyzer (such as those from Minolta, DK and X-Rite).
Separate Control unit with memory stick slot
The 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.
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 SD & HD-SDI.
Centralised Monitor-Wall Control
Multiple monitors can be easily managed by a single control unit via a serial RJ45 Ethernet connector.
