Automatic white balance circuit
The automatic white balance circuit compensates for the
beam distortion, secular distortion of the cathode-ray tube,
etc., and always reproduces the same white display on the
screen. This allows an extended use of the monitor.
Super Fine Pitch Trinitron picture tube
(PVM-1444QM/1442QM only)
The Super Fine Pitch Trinitron picture tube (0.25 mm aperture
grill) gives high resolution picture. Horizontal resolution is
more than 600 TV tines at the center of the picture. When
used as acharacter display, up to 2.000 characters (80
characters/line *25 lines) can be displayed with great clarity.
Analog RGB/component connector (PVM-1444QM only)
Analog RGB and component signals of avideo equipment
can be input through this connector. The signals are
selected by the COMPO/RGB selector on the rear panel.
Analog RGB connector (PVM-1442QM only)
Analog RGB signal of avideo equipment can be input
through this connector.
Digital RGB input connector (PVM-1442QM only)
Digital RGB signal from amicrocomputer can be input
through this connector.
Y/C input connector
The video signal split into the chrominance signal (C) and the
luminance signal (Y) can be input through this connector,
eliminating the interference between the two signals which
tends to occur in acomposite video signal and assuring the
video quality.
VTR input connector
When connected to aVTR having the 8-pin TV connector,
video and audio signals can be led through this connector
with asingle cable.
Control Sconnector (except PVM-1440QM)
When this connector is connected to the “control S" output
of other equipment, the remote controls of the aperture,
brightness, chroma, phase, contrast and volume settings are
possible.
Automatic release of BNC-type connector termination
The BNC-type input connector is terminated at 75 ohms
inside when the BNC-type output connector is open. When a
cable is connected to the BNC-type output connector, the
75ohm termination is automatically released, and the signal
input through the IN connector is output from the
corresponding OUT connector.
Four color systems available
The monitor can display PAL, SECAM, NTSC358 and
NTSC4.43 *signals. The appropriate color system is selected
automatically.
•Asignal of NTSCU 43 is obtained by playing back NTSC-
recorded video cassettes with avideo tape recorder/player
especially designed for use with this system.
Comb Filter
When NTSC video signals are received, acomb filter
activates to increase the resolution, resulting in fine picture
detail without color spill or color noise.
Blue only mode
In the blue only mode, an apparent monochrome display is
obtained with all three cathodes driven with ablue signal.
This facilitates color saturation and phase adjustments and
observation of VTR noise.
Underscan mode (except PVM-1440QM)
The signal normally scanned outside of the screen can be
monitored in the underscan mode.
The bright scanning lines which may appear on the top edge
of the screen when the monitor is in the underscan mode are
caused by an internal test signal, rather than the input signal.
HorizontalA/ertical delay mode (except PVM-1440QM)
The horizontal and vertical sync signals can be checked
simultaneously in the H/V delay mode.
External sync input (except PVM-1440QM)
When the EXT SYNC (or ANALOG/DIGITAL (EXT SYNC))
button is depressed, the monitor can be operated on the
sync signal supplied from an external sync generator.
Color temperature selector
Color temperature of either 9,300°K or 6.500°K is selectable
with the COLOR TEMP selector. For precise adjustment, use
the BIAS and GAIN adjustment controls (except
PVM-1440QM).
Light-touch picture adjustment buttons (except
PVM-1440QM)
The aperture, brightness, chroma, phase, contrast and
volume buttons can be adjusted by touching the buttons
lightly. The adjusted settings will be stored in memory even
when the monitor is turned off.
AV (EURO-TV) connector (PVM-1440QM only)
Analog RGB signals can be input through the 21 -pin AV
(EURO-TV) connector. This allows connection of peripheral
equipments such as decoders.
Superimposition (PVM-l440QMonly>
The data fed through the AV (EURO-TV) connector can be
superimposed on the picture from the LINE A, LINE Bor
Y/C/VTR input.
E1A standard 19-inch rack mounting
By using an optional MB-502A mounting bracket, the monitor
can be mounted in an El Astandard 19-inch rack. An optional
SLR- 102 slide rail is also available. For details on mounting,
see the appropriate instruction manual.
