PVM-L2300
Sony Extends its TRIMASTER Series With the PVM-L2300 TRIMASTER Broadcast Monitor
Since its introduction in 2006, Sony's TRIMASTERTM technology has been widely adopted for high-end picture-monitoring applications, and acclaimed for its high picture quality, operability, and reliability. Sony now introduces a new TRIMASTER monitor for broadcast applications.
The PVM-L2300 is a 23-inch1 LCD monitor with a customized WCG-CCFL (Wide Colour Gamut CCFL) backlight system designed for use in broadcast applications. Built on the TRIMASTER design concept, the PVM-L2300 monitor can reproduce images consistent with the BVM-L231 TRIMASTER master monitor. By incorporating the same processing-engine technology of the BVM-L231 master monitor, the PVM-L2300 offers the superb picture performance and sophisticated features required by today's broadcast and critical picture-monitoring applications. Also, the PVM-L2300 can accept almost any type of video and PC signal, both analog and digital. The video interface accepts analog composite signals up to 3G SDI2, as well as HDMITM and DVI signals from VGA to WUXGA. The PVM-L2300 is the ideal choice for the next level of digital broadcast system that requires smooth migration from CRT to LCD, SD to HD, and/or interlace to progressive.

In addition, the PVM-L2300 offers great affinity between Sony's professional CRT monitors in terms of system configuration, installation, physical size, functionality, and operational convenience.

Main features
The PVM-L2300 incorporates the professional display engine used in Sony's BVM-L231 master monitor. In addition, it also features a unique high-grade 23-inch1 full resolution LCD panel and a high-quality WCG-CCFL (Wide Colour Gamut CCFL) backlight system. What is great about the PVM-L2300 monitor is that it conforms to broadcast-standard colour gamuts unlike some wide CCFL backlight system LCD monitors. As a result of all this, the PVM-L2300 offers a high level of picture quality, accuracy, and reliability.

Superb Picture Quality and Stable Colour Reproduction
Multiple Colour Gamuts (SMPTE-C, EBU, ITU-R BT.709)2
The PVM-L2300 incorporates the same colour conversion system as the BVM-L231 master monitor the nonlinear cubic conversion colour management system which uses a unique 3-D LUT (look-up table) to reproduce precise colour gamuts throughout the entire grayscale. Also, while wide CCFL backlights can in general reproduce wider colour gamuts than conventional CCFL backlights, not all wide CCFLs are compatible with broadcast colour gamuts. The WCG-CCFL backlight of the PVM-L2300 is designed to emulate BVM-CRT colour gamuts. And combined with its unique colour management system, this enables the PVM-L2300 to accurately reproduce colour gamuts that emulate2 broadcast standards such as ITU-R BT.709, and EBU and SMPTE-C phosphor standards. Compared to past CRT monitors, which offer only one colour gamut per model, the PVM-L2300 allows these colour gamuts to be selected and reproduced on the same monitor a feature only made possible by Sony's unique monitor technologies.

Input Versatility
The PVM-L2300 can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analog and digital, plus PC signals from VGA to WUXGA (1920 x 1200). In addition to a DVI-D and an HDMI interface equipped as standard, four option board slots are offered to configure the PVM-L2300 according to different user needs. The optional analog interfaces accept composite, Y/C, Y/PB/PR, and RGB. Digital interfaces accept SDSDI, HD-SDI, Dual-Link HD-SDI, and 3G SDI inputs. Acceptable signal formats include: 525/60i, 625/50i, 525/60P 625/50P 720/50P and 720/60P 10-bit/ , , , 12-bit RGB 4:4:4 1080/24PsF, 1080/24P 1080/25PsF, 1080/25P 1080/50i, 1080/30PsF, , , 1080/30P and 1080/60i, 10-bit 4:2:2 1080/50P and 1080/60P .
3G SDI Interface (V1.1 Feature)
The PVM-L2300 can be equipped with an optional 3G SDI interface. The BKM-250TG 3G SDI interface board is compliant with the SMPTE 425 standard and requires only one single SDI cable to transmit up to 10-bit 4:2:2 1080/60P video signals. This optional 3G SDI interface offers a simple cabling solution for groups of video equipment rack-mounted behind a sub-control room.

Digital Uniformity Correction
Typically, LCD monitors exhibit poor uniformity performance. With the PVM-L2300, white can be reproduced uniformly right across the screen. At the factory, grayscale levels are precisely measured at each area of the panel and if differences are detected between areas, they are accurately corrected by electrical means.
