BVM Series Convenient Features Interlace Display BVM-E and BVM-F Series monitors offer an Interlace Display feature for 1080i and SD inputs. This lets each BVM-E and BVM-F monitor display these inputs as a true interlace display. As with the Native Scan function, Interlace Display mode offers faithful reproduction of the input signal, and the displayed interlace fields are free from the picture degradation that can occur as a result of typical I/P conversion processes. Aspect Correction Mode PAL and NTSC video systems are all based on rectangular pixels. Display of these formats on a square pixel panel typically distorts the image. The BVM-E and BVM-F Series use a unique process called Aspect Correction which, while still offering native pixel performance, continues to display image geometry correctly. This scaling technique used in BVM-E and BVM-F Series monitors corrects horizontal distortion while keeping the vertical pixel count correctly displayed.

Native Scan (pixel-to-pixel display) Conventional flat-panel monitors reproduce images using scaling and I/P conversion due to their fixed pixel counts and progressive scanning processes. The Native Scan function is a unique display mode that reproduces images without changing the input signal's pixel count. For example, when an SD signal is input, the BVM-E and BVM-F Series monitors will reproduce the image at a picture size of 720 x 487* pixels. For SD inputs the Native Scan function also allows the displayed image size to be doubled to 1440 x 974* by duplicating and doubling each pixel both horizontally and vertically. * The 525/59.94i signal specified by Rec. ITU-R BT.601. HD Frame Capture The HD Frame Capture function of the BVM-E and BVM-F Series allow a picture frame from the 3G-SDI and HD-SDI input to be captured and saved as a picture file on Memory Stick media.* This picture file can be used as a reference for various purposes; for example, as for picture-tone adjustments between past images and for camera-framing adjustments. * Memory Stick PRO (High-Speed) / Memory Stick PRO Duo (High-Speed) can be used. 16 720 x 487 Native Scan 1440 x 974 Native Scan (720 x 487) x 2
