BVM Series
Professional Display Engine
The high-precision signal processing engine has been developed to fulfill the master monitor criteria and is optimized to
maximize OLED panel performance. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and provides both a
high quality interlaced to progressive conversion algorithm and a highly accurate color management system.
Nonlinear Cubic Conversion color management
The nonlinear cubic conversion color management system
in the BVM-E and BVM-F Series master monitors use a unique
3D LUT (look-up table) to accurately reproduce the color
gamuts of each broadcast standard such as ITU-R BT.709,
EBU, and SMPTE-C phosphor standards. In addition, the
OLED’s wide color gamut enables D-Cine emulation for digital
intermediate work.*
* D-Cine is a color gamut emulating the color gamut described in SMPTE RP
431-2-2007. The chromaticity of the green-red region is not covered in full;
however, the color shift is subtle in this region.
This feature is supported by the BVM-E Series only.
Cutting-edge interlaced to progressive conversion
with low process delay
The Sony original interlaced to progressive conversion
technology used in the BVM Series minimizes processing
artifacts found in typical up-conversion processes. This has
been improved in the BVM-E and BVM-F Series so that an
interlaced image is displayed accurately and faithfully.
12-bit output accuracy signal processing
The BVM-E and BVM-F Series use a 12-bit per color display
engine, which allows images to be reproduced with high
precision for display accuracy.
