BVM Series BVM-E Series Digital Cinema Features The BVM-E Series - comprising BVM-E250A and BVM-E170A master monitors - offers digital cinema features which are indispensable and ideal for high-quality creative digital cinema onset and post-production workflow. 2K (2048 x 1080, RGB/XYZ) Input BVM-E250A and BVM-E170A master monitors are capable of 2K (2048 x 1080 resolution, RGB/XYZ) input. The 2K signal is displayed in two ways - as a full 2K image scaled into a full-HD (1920 x 1080) screen, or as a 2K native display with an image-slide function. 2048 Image-slide The 2048 Image-slide function allows 2K resolution (2048 x 1080 pixels) images to be mapped, pixel-to-pixel, on the full‑HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) panel without picture degradation. When the user needs to view the left or right edge of the picture frame, they can scroll the image in a horizontal direction. 2048 x 1080 ASC CDL and User LUT Functions BVM-E Series monitors support the ASC CDL (American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List) and User LUT (Look-up Table) to emulate color grading. Live images from camera onset can be altered after importing an ASC CDL format, and/or previewed using a film print emulation applied to the monitor using Look Creation Workflow.*1 Furthermore, once ASC CDL and User LUT data are created, all information*2 can be saved to Memory Stick media*3 and loaded onto the monitor from the BKM-16R*4 controller. Up to five items of ASC CDL and User LUT data can be imported to BVM-E Series monitors, so users can easily compare different color grading (see Look Application Workflow). 1920 x 1080 The image can be horizontally scrolled S-LOG Gamma S-LOG gamma is a technique used in Sony's digital cinematography cameras that allows the full latitude of the camera CCD to be maintained throughout the production chain. Unlike conventional systems, in which highlight contrast is compressed, S-LOG Gamma logarithmically converts the video signal using characteristics similar to film negatives. This keeps the camera CCD dynamic range intact, even in extreme highlight areas. Two display modes are offered: 1) S-LOG Full This mode displays the full dynamic range of the video signal captured from Sony's digital cinematography cameras. 2) S-LOG Standard This mode displays image exposure levels at the lower part of the S-LOG gamma signal dynamic range, allowing image areas of regular brightness to be viewed clearly. Higher exposure levels are clipped in this mode. Gamut Error Display This function detects irregular signal input. When an irregular signal is detected, these master monitors indicate this with a zebra pattern over the relevant area of the picture. Gamut Error Display is a convenient feature that instantly alerts viewers to such signals without requiring the use of a waveform monitor. These features help with creative decision making and improve workflow between onset and post-production. *1 Requires third-party software supporting the BVM-E ASC CDL and User LUT functions. *2 Up to 1,000 data items. *3 Can use a Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO™, Memory Stick Duo™, Memory Stick PRO Duo™, or (with optional adaptor) Memory Stick Micro™. *4 Requires the latest version of the BKM-16R with a product code suffix /7 or later.
