Customised Full HD Panel with 10-bit Driver

The PVM-L3200 monitor achieves both high resolution and stunning colour depth using a full 1920 x 1080 HD LCD panel and precise 10-bit driver.

High Quality I/P Conversion Technology

The PVM-L3200 monitor uses a sophisticated I/P conversion technique that keeps artefacts that are often seen in typical LCD monitors to a minimum such as edge jaggedness, conversion errors, etc.

Low video delay

The PVM-L3200 display engine provides a picture delay that is less than one field.

High Accuracy Display Engine

The PVM-L3200 monitor uses a 12-bit output display engine, which allows images to be reproduced with high precision for accurate evaluation and manipulation.

Panel Calibration

Every PVM-L3200 monitor is carefully calibrated at the factory on an individual basis, providing a high level of accuracy and stability for characteristics such as gamma and uniformity.

Colour Feedback System

Using a colour feedback system, the PVM-L3200 monitor achieves the stability required for Broadcast critical viewing applications.

Input Versatility

The PVM-L3200 monitor can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital, plus PC signals from VGA to Full HD (1920 x 1080). In addition to a DVI-D and an HDMI interface equipped as standard, four option board slots are offered to configure this monitor according to different user needs.

Four Slots for Optional Video Input Decoders

The monitor can accept up to four optional video input boards simultaneously. Available formats include analogue, composite, Y/C, components, RGB and digital 3G/HD/SD SDI.

Interlaced Display Mode

Faithfully reproduces interlaced signals, emulating CRT monitors.

Dual Image Processing

Image Side by Side mode provides users with enhanced operational flexibility.

New Pixel Zoom Mode

Allows picture magnification up to 800% without scaling.

Black Frame Insertion Mode

Dramatically reduces motion blur – a problem common to many LCD monitors.

Black Detail Mode

This mode allows improving the black level reproduction when viewing images with low light contents.

Separate Control unit with memory stick slot

A separate control unit is available for the PVM-L3200. It is equipped with a Memory Stick socket enables users to download and save all monitor set-ups such as input channel configuration, control preset adjustments, white balance settings and maintenance parameters.

Centralised Monitor-Wall Control

Multiple monitors can be easily managed by a single control unit via a serial RJ45 Ethernet connector.

Suitable for a Wide Range of High-End Applications

Ideal for BROADCAST (studio, engineering, etc.) and POST PRODUCTION (Editing, VFX, CGI. etc) applications

Picture Quality Rivalling Top-Flight CRT Monitors

The PVM-L3200 is capable of displaying High Definition in native mode 1920x1080 pixels. Equipped with a 10-bit customised LCD panel, a precision backlight for extended colour gamut and a Sony display engine providing 12-bit output processing for precision imaging, the PVM-L3200 is the ideal choice for high quality and critical viewing requirements.

Superb Colour Accuracy

The innovative Colour Management System ensures consistent and repeatable colours to match the international ITU-709, SMPTE-C and EBU colour space standards

Outstanding Greyscale and Colour Depth Provide Lifelike Picture Quality

Superb precision in picture reproduction is achieved through the 10-bit LCD panel drivers and 12-bit output signal processing.

Consistently Optimal Picture Performance

Less ‘drift’ than CRT displays, with an absence of picture distortions such as convergence, geometry, linearity and focus variation. The PVM-L3200 is also immune to magnetic field interference.

Faithful Reproduction of Interlaced Pictures

Capable of reproducing interlaced video images to the same standard as CRT monitors

High Quality Motion Display

Black Frame Insertion Mode dramatically reduces motion blur.

Exemplary Picture Consistency

Consistent and repeatable chroma and greyscale performance ensures efficient matching between monitors.

Productivity Boost

New dual image processing including Picture Side by Side mode and a new Pixel Zoom function allow quick evaluation and comparison of two input sources.

Exceptionally Versatile

Due to its broad range of inputs and multi-format signal capabilities, the PVM-L3200 is equally suited to AV or IT-based applications, allowing you the freedom to operate in whichever format you choose from the entry HDMI to the latest 3G SDI

Future Proof

A slot structure allows accommodating various optional input boards and the ability to accept future boards as well to ensure that the PVM-L3200 remains current.

Easier to Install and Accommodate than CRT
