Setup and adjustment with the "Memory Stick"
(available in software version 1.10 or higher)
You can use a "Memory Stick" to save and load monitor
setup and adjustment data. If your system includes more
than one monitor, you can use the "Memory Stick" to
exchange data between monitors. This makes it easy to put
all monitors in your system into the same setup and
adjustment state.
Auto chroma/phase/matrix and white balance
functions
The chroma, phase and matrix of the decoder are
automatically adjusted with the auto chroma/phase/matrix
function and the color temperature is automatically
adjusted with the auto white balance function by using the
BKM-14L Auto Setup Probe, etc.
Safe area display
The safe area display function equipped as standard
displays the important image area.
Expandable input capability
The input connector configuration can be easily modified
by simply inserting the optional adaptor into the input
option slot at the rear of the monitor. Up to three adaptors
can be installed.
Stable color temperature
The internal beam current feedback circuit maintains a
constant color temperature over long periods of time.
Blue-only mode convenient for monitoring
noise
All three CRT cathodes can be driven with a blue signal,
producing a monochrome display. This mode is
convenient for chroma and phase adjustment, and for
monitoring VTR noise.
Matrix selection
The ITU601, ITU709 and SMPTE 240M matrix modes can
be selected for individual input signals. The individual
matrix data can be memorized in USER1 to 5 by adjusting
the auto chroma/phase/matrix.
Digital uniformity circuit
Uniform white can be reproduced on every point of the
screen, even in the peripheral area, thanks to the built-in
digital uniformity circuit. The uniformity can be adjusted
to match the installation conditions of the monitor.
Automatic adjustment is also possible using the optional
BKM-14L auto setup probe (available in software version
1.10 or higher).

Input adaptors

The input connector panel is configured by sliding the
optional decoder adaptor or input expansion adaptor into
the input option slot at the rear of the monitor. Up to three
adaptors can be installed to the monitor.
The input signal type for each connector of the adaptor is
set with the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu, in
accordance with the configuration of the connector panel.
Note
When installing the adaptor, be sure to perform the
necessary input signal setup with the INPUT
CONFIGURATION menu. If the setup is not performed,
the adaptors may not function correctly.
