* Note Regarding 3D Image Viewing
• The perception of 3D effects varies in
individuals. Viewing 3D images may cause
adverse health effects in rare cases.
• For comfortable 3D viewing, be sure to read the
Safety Precautions and Cautions for Use sections
in the operation manual.

Faithful Color Reproduction
Meets Broadcasting Needs
A Wide Color Space with Six Color Space Modes (3D/2D)
A Wide Color Space with Six Color Space Modes (3D/2D)
The color space of the BT-3DL2550 is 102% that of the NTSC
standard, so it exceeds the EBU/SMPTE range that can be
displayed by ordinary LCDs. It accurately reproduces colors that
are not easily reproduced by conventional displays, including CRTs,
to meet the needs of both broadcasters and image production
companies, and to work in fields such as digital cinema, CG
production, printing, publishing, advertising, and research.
The BT-3DL2550 offers three wide color space modes of Adobe
RGB γ=2.2, γ=1.8) and D-Cinema (γ=2.6) in addition to the three
broadcast modes of SMPTE, EBU and ITU-709.

Gamma Compensation for Each Monitor (3D/2D)
In order to match the LCD monitor to professional broadcasting
applications, compensation is conducted for each monitor in 256
discrete RGB steps, rated gamma properties (g = 2.2) are
reproduced, and gradation suitable for broadcasting is achieved.
Color temperature of 9300K/6500K/5600K; and 3000K to 9300K
can be selected with the variable setting.
Calibration Function (3D/2D)
The BT-3DL2550 comes installed
with software that allows it to be
calibrated without using a PC, by
simply connecting a manufacturer-
designated display color analyzer
and measurement probe to the
monitor.
Display Functions for
Professional Use
Cine Gamma Compensation (3D/2D)
The BT-3DL2550 is equipped with a cine-gamma (F-REC)
compensation function for compatibility as a monitor for a Varicam
camera recorder. This function supports the production of movies,
film-like HDTV programs, and TV commercials.
2-Input Split-Screen Function (2D)
This function displays two
images on main screen and
subscreen sections from two
video inputs selected from
VIDEO, SDI1, SDI2, YPBPR/
RGB or DVI-D. The main screen
section displays moving images
or still pictures, and settings
such as gamma, color gamut, R
gain and B gain can be adjusted on the image in the subscreen
section. It is also possible to change the sizes of the main screen
and subscreen sections to L/S, M/M or S/L. This function is
especially useful for combining CGs, adjusting viewing angles of
multiple camera images, and matching colors. Since this enables a

The Xpol®*1polarizing filter, which arranges micro-polarizers in a
precise array, is bonded to the front surface of the LCD panel.
This allows the viewing of 3D images*2recorded by the line-by-
line method using 3D Polarized Eyewear. Two pairs of 3D
Polarized Eyewear are supplied with the product. Additional 3D
Polarized Eyewear (BT-PGL10G) are available as options.
*1: Xpol®is a registered trademark of Arisawa Mfg. Co., Ltd.
*2: Due to the characteristics of the Xpol®*1polarizing filter, it is necessary to view 3D
images from a position perpendicular to the LCD panel surface in order to properly perceive
3D effects.
The BT-3DL2550 supports three 3D video input systems:
simultaneous, line-by-line and side-by-side. It allows 3D images
to be viewed from a line-by-line signal source. It accepts the
output from the AG-3DA1 Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camera
Recorder and from existing 3D camera systems such as rig-type
3D camera systems as well as 3DTV broadcast signals, thus
meeting virtually all production, editing and transmission needs.
• Simultaneous: Outputs left- and right-eye images through separate SDI
lines. This system transmits FULL HD 3D video signals.
• Line-by-line: Allocates left- and right-eye images to odd-numbered lines and
even-numbered lines. Conventional equipment for 2D video can be used with
this signal type.
• Side-by-side: Splits the screen into left and right halves, and then combines
the left and right images for viewing. This system is used mainly for 3DTV
broadcasts.
The BT-3DL2550 is equipped with a special display function for
adjusting images acquired with a rig-type 3D camera system
(mirror type or side-by-side type). The following display/
adjustment functions support lens axis adjustment and color
matching when receiving simultaneous dual HD SDI inputs from
a rig-type 3D camera system. This allows the BT-3DL2550 to
respond widely to professional 3D production needs.
uDisplay Selection: The screen display can be switched to
normal 3D image display (line-by-line), overlay display, single-
channel (Left/Right) display or comparison display.
• Overlay Display: Displays left- and right-eye images together.
• Single Channel Display: Displays left- or right-eye images.
• Comparison Display: Displays left- and right-eye images next
to each other.* This display mode is suitable for color matching
and gradation adjustment for left-eye and right-eye cameras.
uHalf Mirror Function: Inverts the right-eye image signal to flip
the displayed image in the horizontal direction. This allows the
3D viewing of video input from a mirror type 3D camera system.
uH Shift Function: Shifts the image of one channel in the left-
right direction while showing an overlay display. This function is
convenient for lens axis adjustment.
* The two screen images are the same in size and have an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Marker
function cannot be used in this mode.
