Features - Sony LMD-2451TD Operating Instructions Manual

Features

The LMD-4251TD (42-type) or LMD-2451TD (24-
type) is a multiple format LCD monitor equipped with a
circular micro-polarizer filter for broadcast use,
featuring a precise image and high performance. It
supports various 3D signal formats, including dual-
stream HD-SDI signals, by using an optional input
adaptor (BKM-250TG with a serial number 7100001 or
later) for both 2D and 3D signals. The provided two
pairs of 3D glasses are designed to suit the performance
of the monitor and for comfort over long hours of use.
The monitor has a number of new features for 3D picture
production, as well as various features supporting 2D
picture production.
Circular micro-polarizer filter
Two input signals are separated into even lines and odd
lines on the display and circular polarized before
appearing on the screen. Images on the left of the screen
are viewed through left lens of the 3D glasses and those
on the right are viewed through right lens. With this
feature, you can monitor multiple screens at one time.
Comfortable fitting lightweight 3D glasses
The provided 3D glasses are a lightweight design for
reduced fatigue after extended periods of use. The
glasses provide precise image quality and accurate color
reproduction. The frames are made of flexible material
and the lenses are encased in the top-center part of the
frames. This helps the glasses fit any face shape and
avoids distorting images through the lenses even when
adjusting the temple frames. Additionally, nose pad and
temple tips hold the glasses firmly under sweaty
conditions or physical working environment. Optional
3D glasses BKM-30G are available for additional
viewers.
Supporting various 3D input signal formats
With BKM-250TG (optional), various signals, such as
3G, dual-stream, side-by-side and line-by-line, are
supported. Install BKM-250TG with a serial number
7100001 or later to display HD-SDI signal in 3D. While
multi-signal formats, including 1080P, 1080i, 1080PsF
and 720P, are available, line-by-line typed DVI signals
are also supported.
Checker board
Left and right HD-SDI input signals are displayed in a
grid pattern. The two signals shown in a grid makes for
easy adjusting of the iris and color settings for the
camera. This function is only available in 2D display
mode.
L/R switch
Left and right dual-stream HD-SDI signals can be
swapped over without being visually disturbed by black
frames. This allows you to easily compare the color and
brightness between left and right signals. This function
is only available in 2D display mode.
Disparity simulation
The phase of either or both left and right signal for 3D
image can shift horizontally. The monitor simulates
parallax without the need for 3D rig adjustment. It saves
time and effort in setting and adjusting the 3D rig and
equipment.
Notes
• Going out of the disparity simulation feature
initializes the parallax setting. Adjust 3D rig if
parallax needs to be changed.
• Simulated images cannot be output to any device.
Horopter check
Left/right signals for the 3D image are displayed in
selected single colors. This helps you define if the
subjects are in front of the determined screen position or
behind it. You can carefully adjust the depth of the 3D
effect using this feature. This function is only available
in 3D display mode.
Flip H
If a half mirror type rig is used, left or right signal will
be reversed. With the Flip H feature, signals that are shot
this way are horizontally reversed again for normal
viewing.
Note
A delay between left and right signals occurs as a result
of the signal processing. Because left and right signals
are internally synchronized to offset the delay, display
speed may decrease before the image reaches the screen.
Payload ID
Channel assign information of payload ID data
superimposed on input signals is displayed. You can
monitor which of two channels a left/right input signal
is assigned to.
High brightness LCD panel
Because of precise image, wide viewing angle
technology and high speed response, real color image
can be reproduced.
Multi-format
The monitor supports the video, Y/C, RGB, component,
SDI (3G/HD/SD, when the optional input adaptor is
used) signals and NTSC/PAL color systems.
