Chapter 1 Overview
Overview
Precautions
On Safety
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in
the “Specifications” section.
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power
consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If
the power cord is damaged, turn off the power
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a
damaged power cord.
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used
for several days or more.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment
and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat
build-up.
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or
near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the
ventilation holes.
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or
shock.
• When installing the installation space must be secured in
consideration of the ventilation and service operation.
– Do not block the ventilation slots at the top, left and
right side and rear panels.
– Leave a space around the unit for ventilation.
– Leave more than 15 cm of space in the rear of the unit
to secure the operation area.
When the unit is installed on the desk or the like, leave at
least 15 cm of space in the rear.
Leaving 15 cm or more of space above the unit is
recommended for service operation.
Handling the LCD Screen
• The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with
high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel
ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always
on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a
long period of use, because of the physical
characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck”
pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are
not a malfunction.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
unit by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor’s screen. Do not
place a heavy object on the LCD monitor’s screen. This
may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
• If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a
residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a
malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the
screen returns to normal.
• If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or
time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time,
an image may remain on the screen and be superimposed
as a ghosting image.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet.

Features
Chapter 1 Overview
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce
reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of
the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
• Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a
cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth.
If you wipe the screen using too much force, the screen
surface may lose uniformity or the LCD panel may
malfunction.
Never use tissue as it may scar the surface of the screen.
• Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such
as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly
dampened with water.
• Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or
acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning
cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
• Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn
stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened
with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a
soft dry cloth.
• Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may
damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the
indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
• If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet
may be scratched.
• If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin
product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet
may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They
make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
Features
The SRM-L560 LCD Video Monitor incorporates the
panel that supports QFHD (3840 × 2160 pixels) of 4 times
the resolution of full HD.
This is suitable for digital cinema production, industrial
design, CG, simulation, printing, monitoring, ATC (Air
Traffic Control), research and development, video-
equipment development, HD video production or GIS
(Geographic Information System) where precise image
reproduction or four-screen display is required.
The SRM-L560 features flat panel and “TRIMASTER”,
which is a new technology developed for three elements,
“accurate color reproduction,” “precision imaging” and
“quality picture consistency,” that are in demand for
professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing
difference that occurs due to the individuality of each
panel. Also, the SRM-L560 realizes the high picture
quality and high-trust required by the color management
system with its wide color gamut device, high-resolution/
precise gradation display and signal processing of high
accuracy/calibration/feedback system.
56-type LCD panel developed for the SRM-L560
The monitor incorporates a 56-type LCD panel developed
for this monitor, which supports QFHD (4 times the
resolution of full HD) and is equipped with a 10-bit driver,
providing high resolution and high color gradation.
Backlight system by LED with high-purity
technology
High-purity LEDs enable wider color space. The precision
backlight system also incorporates a uniformity control
function and color feedback system.
12-bit precision display engine for professional
use
The panel is equipped with a unique signal process engine
developed for the professional use monitor. This engine
incorporates 12-bit output accuracy, providing a high-
quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling processing, panel
driving and a high-accuracy color management system.
Multi color space
A backlight system with high-precision technology and
color management system which uses the unique 3D LUT
(Look Up Table) reproduces the color space that complies
with the broadcast standard ITU-R BT.709, EBU and
SMPTE-C accurately. A wider color space1) allows digital
cinema reproductions.
1) The RGB chromaticity of SMPTE RP 431-2 is not
covered in full.

8Features
Chapter 1 Overview
High-accuracy I/P conversion processing
A high-quality picture near the original one, in which
jagged lines and conversion errors are decreased by
detecting the feature of the picture inside the subdivided
block and processing properly, is reproduced.
The signal delay is decreased by judging the animation or
still picture from the past video signal. Film cadence
processing, which converts the signal composed of 2-2·2-
3·2-3-3-2 pull down to the I/P signal closely following the
original, is also selectable.
Available to a multi signal format
The monitor supports various input signals such as digital
cinema (D-Cine) 4096 × 2160/24P, 3840 × 2160/24P,

Preparations
Environments of the Installation Location
Illumination environments
The apparent color reproduction on the monitor is greatly
affected by ambient light or glare.
The LCD device controls the brightness by moving LCD
molecules with the backlight always lit. For this reason, in
a dark place, an LCD monitor screen shows very dim light
leaks from the black image. We recommend that you
adjust the ambient light and use in an environment that
does not degrade the reproduction of black.
Viewing angle
The ideal viewing angle is within 5 degrees (up/down/left/
right) off the center of the monitor screen when the
operator views the entire monitor screen. Keep the viewing
angle within 15 degrees off the center of the monitor
screen.
