Protection plate

You can attach and detach the LCD screen’s protection 
plate easily with the four screws.

Strong, slim and lightweight

The strong, slim, and lightweight design of the 
aluminum die-cast chassis makes the monitor suitable 
for use with rack mounts or as a portable monitor. This 
reduces the weight burden on an outdoor broadcasting 
van, and allows for a wider working space.

Two power systems

This unit can also be operated by DC 12V or its 
exclusive AC power adaptor. The AC power adaptor can 
be mounted on the rear of the monitor for easy use.

Input signal waveform and audio level display

The waveform of the input signal or the audio level 
(embedded audio only) can be displayed.

For more information, see SUB INPUT SELECT of 
“WFM/ALM (waveform monitor and audio level meter) 
DISPLAY SETTING” on page 22.

Camera focus

This function sharpens the edges of the image more than 
the amount set by the upper limit of the aperture value in 
the USER CONTROL menu.
This is convenient for focusing with the camera.

Auto chroma/phase function

The chroma and phase of the decoder are automatically 
adjusted with the auto chroma/phase function.

Blue only mode

In the blue only mode, a monochrome display is 
obtained with all three of the R/G/B picture elements 
driven with a blue signal.  This mode is convenient for 
chroma and phase adjustments and monitoring of signal 
noise.

H/V delay mode

The horizontal and vertical sync signals can be 
monitored simultaneously.

Select marker/scan display

Various items for broadcast use can be displayed. 
The center marker, aspect marker or display size (scan), 
etc are displayed by selecting according to use.

For more information, see “MARKER SETTING” on 
page 22 a
nd SCAN of “FUNCTION BUTTON 
SETTING” on page 23.

Scan setting /native display

When video signals are input, you can set the display 
size to 0% scan (normal), 5% over scan (over) or zoom 
mode (full screen).
A native display function that maps the pixel of the 
signal to the panel in one-to-one mode is also equipped. 

With this, scaling to correct the screen aspect ratio is 
done to the horizontal direction of SD signals with non-
square pixels (number of horizontal pixels of the signal 
system is 720 or 1440) or 640 × 480 SD signal of HDMI 
video.

Select color temperature mode

You can select the color temperature from among two 
settings (9300 K, 6500 K).

Color space function

You can select one from among three color space 
settings (SMPTE-C/EBU/ITU-R BT.709).

On-screen menus

You can set the appropriate settings according to the 
connected system by using the on-screen menus.

Select language display

You can select from seven display languages, English, 
French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and 
Chinese.

Key inhibit function

You can inhibit a key function to prevent misoperation.

Monaural speaker

The monitor has a monaural speaker to reproduce sound.
