The Sony-specified panel achieves 1000 cd/m2 luminance and 100% color gamut, corresponding to the industry-leading Sony BVM-HX310 Master Monitor. This provides an accurate color matching value in the entire production workflow from camera shooting to finishing in applications including live productions, TV programmes, documentaries, music videos, movies, drama and commercials. All personnel working on a project can reliably share the same accurate view of colors and tones, even if they are working at different locations and times.TRIMASTER assures accurate color reproduction, precise imaging and consistent picture qualitySony's TRIMASTER architecture offers accurate picture reproduction, precise imaging and quality picture consistency. The panel's control and signal processing system offers significantly advantages including fast processing, accurate color reproduction and accurate linearising of input signals with Optical Electrical Transfer Function.HDR-SDR Conversion supportWith V2.0 firmware and the optional PVML-HSX1 HDR-SDR conversion license, the PVM-X2400 supports HDR-SDR conversion in a Live production system. The HDR license activates 4K to HD down-conversion, color space conversion from ITU-R BT.2020 to ITU-R BT.709, and OETF conversion from HDR EOTF S-Log3(HDR), ITU-R BT.2100(HLG), SMPTE ST2084 to SDR EOTF 2.4. It also allows output of converted pictures to another 4K or HD monitor from the Enhanced Monitor Output that supports 12G or 3G-SDI, even though an original 4K source is Quad link 3G-SDI. This function can be used at a remote site that can only be fed an HDR signal.Supported with V2.0.PVML-HSX1 HDR-SDR conversion license available separately. Monitor must be updated to v2.0 firmware or later. HDR-SDR conversion is activated via the USB port on the front control panel of the monitor.Live production metadataThe PVM-X2400 offers support for live production metadata, allowing easy comparison if settings of an input source and monitor settings are matched to each other. This feature enables faster, smoother on-site preparation of live production projects.Dynamic Contrast DriveSony's Dynamic Contrast Drive backlight driving system dynamically changes backlight luminance according to the scene to achieve a dynamic 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. This allows at-a-glance checking of the total balance of highlights and low lights. As a further advantage there is no artificial halo effect caused, and each signal level is displayed as the same display luminance.Black Detail High/Mid/LowBacklight leaking from the panel surface is a consequence of LCD panel designs. Black Detail mode provides more accurate monitoring of black details in dark, low-APL (average picture level) images. Black level is reduced, but gamma is maintained for correct color and gray scale. However, high luminance areas are clipped due to the dynamic range of the monitor. The portions to be clipped can be displayed either by zebra patterns or clipped image.Versatile 4K video input capabilityThe PVM-X2400 is equipped with built-in standard input interfaces: (12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI) BNC (x2), (3G/HD-SDI) BNC (x2) and HDMI (HDCP2.3/1.4) (x1). 12G simplifies wiring, from simple to large-scale field systems. Quad-link 3G-SDI is highly convenient for systems configured with 'traditional' devices. HDMI simplifies interfacing with devices including rasterizer, multi-viewer, digital camera, set top box, UHD Blu-ray, PC etc.Various signal settings and automatic setting by Video payload IDManual signal settings include ITU-R BT.2020, ITU-R BT.709, DCI-P3, S-Gamut/S-Gamut3, S-Gamut3.Cine as color space and ITU-R BT.2100(HLG), SMPTE ST 2084, S-Log3 and S-Log3(Live HDR) as EOTF. In addition, support for VPID (Video Payload ID) can identify EOTF, color space and RGB source information embedded in the SDI signal. Monitor settings are adjusted automatically, cutting the risk of human error in pressured live production environments.4K/HD scopes with HDR/SDR scale and audio level meter displayBoth waveform monitor and vector scope can simultaneously be displayed with scales for either HDR or SDR. Scales are automatically changed according to a selected EOTF setting of the monitor. You can conveniently check both input signal level and output luminance by the HDR scale of the WFM.
