• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a
soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet
may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.

On Rack Mounting

When the monitor is mounted on a rack, the temperature
around the monitor may rise due to heat generated from
other equipment and reduced air circulation, causing
damage to the monitor. To prevent this, keep the space
around the monitor (1U or more space above and below the
monitor), and install a ventilation fan or take other
effective countermeasures so that the temperature around
the monitor is within the specified range: operating
temperature range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95°F).
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact

Features

Features
The BVM-L231 is 23-inch LCD Video Monitor. This is
suitable for television stations or video production houses,
where precise image reproduction is required.
The BVM-L231 features flat panel and "TRIMASTER*",
which is a new technology developed for three elements,
"accurate color reproduction", "precision imaging" and
"quality picture consistency," that are in demand for
professional use. "TRIMASTER" decreases the viewing
difference that occurs due to the individuality of each
panel. Also, the BVM-L231 realizes the high picture
quality and high-trust required for the master monitor by
the color management system with its wide color gamut
device, high-resolution/precise gradation display,
animation improvement technology and signal processing
of high accuracy/calibration/feedback system.
* TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
23-inch LCD panel developed for the BVM-L231
The 23-inch (22.5 inch) LCD panel was developed for the
BVM-L231 and supports the full HD signal.
It offers a 10-bit driver, high-speed response, high
resolution and high color gradation.
Backlight system by LED with high-purity
technology
High-purity LEDs enable the wider color space. The
precision backlight system also incorporates a uniformity
control function and a color feedback system.
12-bit precision display engine for professional
use
The panel is equipped with a unique signal process engine
developed for the professional use monitor. This engine
incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and
provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling
processing, panel driving and a highly accurate color
management system.
Multi color space
A backlight system with high-precision technology and
color management system which uses the unique 3D LUT
(Look Up Table) reproduces the color space that complies
with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBU and
SMPTE-C accurately. A wider color space* allows digital
cinema reproductions.
* The RGB chromaticity of SMPTE RP 431-2 is not
covered in full.
High-quality I/P conversion processing
A high-quality picture near the original one, in which
jagged lines and conversion errors are decreased by
detecting the feature of the picture inside the subdivided
block and processing properly, is reproduced.
