I/P Mode Selection

LMD-30/10
The PVM and LMD Series monitors provide a variety of I/P
modes so that users can select the most suitable mode for
each purpose:
INTRA-FIELD:*
1
This mode interpolates images within the field, and delivers
naturally reproduced images and quick picture processing.
This mode is available for 1920 x 1080 SDI signal input.
INTER-FIELD:
This mode interpolates images between fields. This is used for
picture quality precedence (e.g., to reduce the jagged effect
on moving pictures).
FIELD MERGE:*
2
This mode combines lines alternately in odd and even
fields, regardless of picture movements. This is used for PsF
(Progressive Segmented Frame) processing and still image
monitoring.
LINE DOUBLER:
This mode interpolates by repeating each line. This is used
for editing and monitoring fast-moving images, and checking
line flicker. The minimum processing time is less than one field
(0.5 frames).

Auto White Balance

LMD-51
The PVM-41, LMD-41, and LMD-51 Series monitors employ a
software-based white balance calibration function, which is
called “Monitor_AutoWhiteAdjustment”. Combined with a PC
and commercially available calibration tools*, this function
enables simple adjustment of the monitor’s white balance.

LMD-51
The PVM-41, LMD-41, and LMD-51 Series have an external
remote control capability for input/output signal
selection and adjustment of various items via an Ethernet
(10BASE-T/100BASE-TX) connection. Up to 32 monitors and
up to four control units can be connected via Ethernet
connection and controlled remotely on the network. Also
these monitors support some functions of the BKM-16R – an
optional remote control unit for BVM-E/BVM-L/PVM-L Series
monitors – such as the power on/off switch and the Input
Select function.*
* PVM-41, LMD-41, and LMD-51 Series do not support all BKM-16R functions.

available functions can be assigned to the available
connector pins, such as tally switching, marker switching, and
input switching.
