Operational Convenience - Sony PVM-741 Brochure & Specs

Operational Convenience

Camera Focus Function
The PVM-741 can control the aperture level of a video signal,
and display images on the screen with sharpened edges to
help camera focus operation. Further to this, the sharpened
edges can be displayed in user-selectable colors (white,
red, green, blue, and yellow) for more precise focusing.
This camera focus function can even be enhanced when
combined with native scan mode.
Aspect and Scan Selection
The aspect ratio can be switched according to the input
signal between 16:9 and 4:3. Scan size can be selected from
normal scan (0%), over scan (5%), or native scan (dot-by-dot).
In native scan mode, the number of input signal pixels
exceeding the number of display pixels is displayed partially
on the screen. To check the entire picture, the display area
can be shifted with the rotary encoder on the monitor control
panel.

Center Marker and Aspect Markers
The PVM-741 can display a center marker and aspect
markers. The brightness of these markers can be selected
from two different levels: gray and dark gray. Users can also
select a gray mat to fill the outer area of the aspect markers.

Waveform Monitor and Vector Scope Display
An input signal's waveform and vector scope with an
SDI-embedded 2-channel audio level meter can be displayed
on screen. Both the waveform monitor and vector scope
have various modes, including a zoom function (in an area of
0 to 20 IRE) with the waveform monitor, and a zoom function
(in the central black area) with the vector scope, for adjusting
white balance. The waveform of a specified line can also be
displayed.

8-ch Audio Level Meter Display
When an SDI interface is
connected, the embedded
audio level can be displayed
on screen with an 8-channel
audio level meter. Channels
1 to 8 or 9 to 16 can be
displayed.
Time Code Display
PVM-741 can display on screen a time code – either LTC or
VITC is selectable.
Flip Function
The PVM-741 monitor has a feature to flip a picture without
frame delay, horizontally, vertically, or horizontally and
vertically. This feature is useful and beneficial – for example,
when using a 3D image acquisition system with a 3D rig
camera. This allows for much simpler system integration and
greater cost efficiency.
