BVM Series Signal Analyzing Functions Picture & Picture The unique Picture & Picture function of the BVM-E and BVM-F Series allows simultaneous display of two input signals on the monitor's screen. This function is extremely convenient for making instant adjustments to two input sources, because there is no need to individually adjust the different characteristics of two monitors. This function comes in handy for adjustments between two cameras, special-effects creation, time-lapse shooting, and computer graphics (CG) work. The BVM-E Series offers four Picture & Picture modes and the BVM-F Series offers side-by-side mode: Side-by-side The two picture images are downscaled using a digital filter and displayed side-by-side. This feature is convenient when making white balance adjustments or determining shooting angles between two cameras. WIPE (BVM-E Series only) The area of the two pictures to be displayed is selected using a vertical WIPE pattern, which is controlled from the BKM-16R.* This function is useful when picture detail of the two images must be examined on a pixel basis. This is normally used to review still images. * Requires the latest version of the BKM-16R with a product code suffix /7 or later. Butterfly (BVM-E Series only) The two inputs are displayed as line-symmetric images on the left and right halves of the screen. By adjusting the H-position controller, the two images can be moved inward to the middle of the screen. An instant comparison of the moving images can then be made easily and accurately, without the user having to move their eyes. Blending (BVM-E Series only) The two picture images are overlapped for display, and the mix ratio is adjustable. This function is useful to verify whether a foreground signal is accurately keyed into the background signal, or when combining shoots with live action and computer-generated effects. Pixel Zoom Pixel Zoom is a function for magnifying images. A selected area of the displayed picture can be enlarged on a pixel basis, up to eight times in size both vertically and horizontally. Because this function does not use scaling, the desired picture content is magnified and displayed faithfully to the raw input signal. This function is useful when evaluating precise picture edges, such as for chroma keying. * This function is effective when the input signal is displayed in "Native Scan" mode. 14 Error Signal
