Main Features
The BVM-L230 incorporates three unique technologies that have been customised for exclusive use in this monitor:
a high-grade 23-inch* full resolution LCD panel, a precision backlight system, and a unique professional display
engine not found in any other monitor. This has resulted in the highly reliable BVM-L230, which offers the accurate colour
reproduction,precision imaging and quality picture consistency required by today’s most demanding master monitoring
applications. Using these technologies, the BVM-L230 not only achieves the quality of its predecessor BVM-A and
BVM-D Series CRT monitors, but also adds innovative features for today’s new master monitoring needs.

Superb Picture Quality and Stable Colour Temperature
Ultra-high precision Uniformity Correction
Accurate Colour Reproduction
Precision Imaging
Typically, LCD monitors exhibit poor
uniformity performance. With the
BVM-L230, white can be reproduced
uniformly at every point of the screen.
This is due to the use of two advanced
technologies:preciseadjustmentofthe
LCD panel characteristics and sophis-
ticated LED backlight control. At the
factory, grayscale levels are precisely
measuredateachareaofthepaneland
if differences are detected between
areas, they are accurately corrected
by electrical means. Secondly, the so-
phisticated LED backlight system also
contributes to the BVM-L230’s high
level of uniformity. This is because RGB
sensors are aligned together with the
R, G and B LEDs of the backlight to
constantly monitor and control the
luminance level of each backlight
colour. When inconsistent luminance is
detected, the colour feedback system
adjusts the light intensity of the corre-
sponding LEDs – red, green, or blue –in
that specific area to maintain accurate
luminance uniformity of the backlight.
These two technologies combined
together allow the BVM-L230 monitor
to provide an extra level of uniformity.
Nonlinear Cubic Conversion Colour
Management System
Full HD Panel with 10-bit Driver
The BVM-L230 achieves both high reso-
lution and stunning colour depth using
a full 1920 x 1080 HD LCD panel and
precise 10-bit driver.
The nonlinear cubic conversion colour
management system of the BVM-L230
uses a unique 3-D LUT (look-up table)
to reproduce an extremely wide colour
gamut, thus offering more accurate
colour reproduction. It offers highly
accurate chromaticity throughout the
entire grayscale. The combination of
its high-purity LED backlight system, to-
gether with this colour management
system, allows the BVM-L230 to accu-
rately reproduce colour gamut that
replicate broadcast standards such
as ITU-R BT.709, and EBU and SMPTE-C
phosphor standards. In addition, the
BVM-L230offersaunique“WIDE”gamut
that reproduces a wider colour space.
This can be used to monitor content
intended for applications other than
direct broadcast, and it can also emu-
late the D-Cine* colour gamut used in
digital cinema production. Compared
to past CRT monitors, which offer only
one colour gamut per model, the
BVM-L230 allows these colour gamuts
to be selected and reproduced on the
same monitor – a feature only made
possible by the technologies used in
the Sony BVM-L230 monitor.
NewlyDevelopedI/PConversionTechnology
The BVM-L230 uses a sophisticated
I/P conversion technique that keeps
artefacts that are often seen in typical
LCD monitors to a minimum, such as
edge jaggedness, conversion errors,
and a picture delay that is less than
one field.
Quality Picture Consistency
High Accuracy Display Engine
Each and every BVM-L230 monitor is
carefullycalibratedatthefactoryonan
individual basis, providing a high level
of accuracy and stability for character-
istics such as gamma and uniformity.
Colour Feedback System
Using a colour feedback system, the
BVM-L230 achieves the stability called
for with master monitor applications.

Flexible Input Configuration
Like the BVM-A Series CRT monitors, the BVM-L230 uses a modular slot design, so inputs can be configured according to
individual needs. Four input board slots are available. Optional input boards* can be installed in any board slot, and in
any combination, allowing easier configuration and better cost-per-input value. These option boards utilise only one slot
each, so up to four cards can be installed for maximum flexibility.
* The BVM-L230 input boards are not compatible with other earlier BVM-A Series CRT monitors. They are compatible with the LMD Series.

Picture & Picture (Side by Side, Butterfly, Wipe and Blending)*
* A Future Feature (by spring 2008)
The unique Picture & Picture function
of the BVM-L230 allows simultaneous
display of two input signals on its LCD
screen. This function is extremely
convenient for making instant adjust-
ments between two input sources,
since there is no need to individually
adjust the different characteristics of
two monitors. This function comes in
handy for adjustments between two
cameras, special effects creation,
time-lapse shooting and computer-
generated graphics work. The BVM-L230
offers four Picture & Picture modes:
Native Scan (pixel to pixel display)
Conventional flat-panel monitors re-
produce images using scaling and I/P
conversionduetotheirfixedpixelcounts
andprogressivescanningprocesses.The
Native Scan function equipped on the
BVM-L230 is a unique display mode that
reproduces images without changing
the input signal’s pixel count. For
example, when an SD signal is input, the
BVM-L230 will reproduce the image at a
picturesizeof720x487*pixels,andwhen
an interlace signal is input, the BVM-L230
will reproduce interlace fields**. For
SD input in particular, the Native Scan
function also allows the image’s dis-
play size to be doubled to 1440 x 974*,
by duplicating and doubling each pixel
both horizontally and vertically.
WIPE
The area of the two pictures to be
displayed is selected using a vertical
WIPE pattern, which is controlled from
the BKM-16R. This function is useful when
picture details of the two images must
be examined on a pixel basis. This is nor-
mally used when looking at still images.
Side by Side
Thetwopictureimagesaredownscaled
using a digital filter and displayed side

making white balance adjustments
and/or determining shooting angles
between two cameras.

Variety of Display Modes
Most flat-panel monitors can only Interlace Display*

to this conventional display method,
the BVM-L230 has two unique display

Insertion technology, the BVM-L230
dramatically reduces motion blur, an
artefact that is inherent to LCD devices.
Black Frame Insertion technology gen-
erates a “black” frame and inserts
this in every other picture frame. As a
result, all of the panel’s LCD molecules
are reset to their default alignments,
before the next picture frame is dis-
played. This effectively eliminates the
image lag caused by inconsistencies in
the speed at which LCD molecules are
realigned in accordance with the vid-
eo signal change. Because the number
of frames is doubled, Black Frame Inser-
tion Display reproduces the combined
picture content at twice the speed of
the input signal’s frame rate**.

Marker Settings
Marker Examples
Screen Size: 16:9
Like the earlier BVM Series CRT moni-
tors, the BVM-L230 monitor can display
various markers, including an aspect
marker, safe area marker, and centre
marker. In addition to this flexible selec-
tion of marker types, detailed display
settings of each marker are offered.
For example, the colour, the brightness,
horizontal/ vertical position and width
of aspect markers can all be con-
trolled, while the height and width of
safe area markers can be adjusted.
What’s more, users can also choose to
display two safe area markers, each
selectable between three marker vari-
ations. These flexible marker controls,
together with the choice of many
different marker types such as aspect
marker types (lines or aspect blanking)
and centre marker types (long or short),
make the BVM-L230 monitor the
perfect all-round display device for a
variety of shooting scenarios – from SD/
HD video acquisition to digtal cinema-
tography.

Easy Setup and Adjustment
Auto White Balance
The colour temperature and white bal-
ance of the BVM-L230 monitor can
be automatically adjusted by the
Auto White Balance function using the
specified colour temperature probes*,
such as the Konica Minolta CA-210,
DK-Technologies PM5639/06 and X-Rite
Eye-One Pro.
* Requires a connector to connect each of the
colour analysers.
Auto Chroma/Phase Adjustment
An Auto Chroma/Phase/Matrix setup
functionisprovidedwhichautomatically
adjusts the monitor’s chroma, phase
and matrix using external colour bars.
Colour Temperature Selection
The Colour Temperature can be se-
lected from D65, D93, D61, D56, D-Cine*,
or User1 to User5. A “Colour Temp”
(ColourTemperature)buttonlocatedon
the BKM-16R front panel enables instant
access to the “Colour Temp menu”
without using the On-Screen menu.
* D-Cine: x=0.314, y=0.351
Aspect Switch
The aspect ratio can be switched
between 4:3, 16:9, 2.39: 1, and 1.869:1
depending on the input signal.
