New Horizons in Production
Digital cinema production requires a new generation
of high-performance monitors -- and the Sony
BVM-F24U (viewable area, measured diagonally) High
Definition Monitor meets the challenge. Specially
designed as part of Sony's CineAlta™ family of high-
definition electronic cinema products, this monitor
employs a 16:9 aspect ratio Flat Surface HR Trinitron
CRT to support the production demands of digital
cinema. These demands include digital cinematogra-
phy, mastering of HD film transfers, post-production
for electronic cinema, high level animation, and
broadcast network studio production of prime time
television programming.
Sony's new monitor supports a wide variety of signal
formats in addition to the 1080/24P format -- including
1080/25P, 1080/30P, 1080/50I, 1080/60I, 1080/50P,
1080/60P and 720/60P, to suit emerging multi-format
HD needs. The flexible input capability accepts both
analog RGB and HD-SDI signals.
A unique advantage of this monitor is that low vertical
frequency progressive HD-SDI signals are repeatedly
scanned at either two or three times their original
frame rates, effectively eliminating the flicker
effect visible with conventional raster designs.
Achieved by the use of a built-in rate converter along
with high scanning frequency of 54 kHz to 91.1 kHz
(horizontal) and 48 Hz to 85 Hz (vertical), this advan-
tage will be especially useful to permit 24P-created
material to be viewed as either 48-frame or 72-frame
progressive display.

Another important feature of this HD monitor is the
dual link HD-SDI mode, that allows digital signal
inputs such as 1080/24P (4:4:4), 1080/60I (4:4:4) or
1080/60P (4:2:2) for applications where the highest
possible HD quality is required*.
In addition to it's versatility, the new monitor has
inherited the outstanding features and functions already
proven in the Sony BVM-D Series: digital uniformity
correction, digital convergence, beam landing correc-
tion, and automatic presets for white balance, contrast
and brightness.
Uncompromising performance and flexibility make it
the perfect choice for high quality HD monitoring.
*
Technically correct nomenclatures of 4:4:4 and 4:2:2
are 22:22:22 and 22:11:11, respectively.
