24p Monitor

The BVM-F24U is a 16:9 widescreen flat CRT monitor designed for the digital cinema age. The 24-inch (viewable area, measured diagonally) monitor will be used primarily for critical evaluation of E-cinema content such as motion pictures and television productions produced in 1080/24P. It is a multi-high scan monitor with the flexibility to display analog RGB and HD-SDI signals at horizontal frequencies of 54 kHz to 90 kHz and vertical frequencies of 48 Hz to 75 Hz.

For critical electronic cinematography applications, the BVM-F24U features internal circuitry to virtually eliminate flicker when viewing 24-frame material. Through a frame rate conversion process, a single frame of 24-frame is scanned two or three times to display the frame signal at 48 or 72 Hz. In addition to this two- and three-times signal conversion, the monitor also supports a variety of DTV formats including 1080/25PsF; 1080/25P X2, X3, 1080/30PsF, 1080/30P; 1080/30P X2 signals and native 1080/24P; 1080/24P X2, X3; and 1080/25P signals.

The BVM-F24U accepts dual link 4:4:4 mode HD-SDI signals including 1080/24P, 1080/24PsF, 1080/30PsF and 1080/60I. The BVM-F24U also offers digital uniformity correction, digital convergence, beam landing correction and automatic presets for white balance and contrast and brightness.
