Chapter 1 Overview
Setup and adjustment with the “Memory Stick”
You can use a “Memory Stick” to save and load monitor
setup and adjustment data via the BKM-15R Monitor
Control Unit. If your system includes more than one
monitor, you can use the “Memory Stick” to exchange data
between monitors. This makes it easy to put all monitors in
your system into the same setup and adjustment state.
Auto chroma/phase/matrix and white balance
functions
The chroma, phase and matrix of the decoder are
automatically adjusted with the auto chroma/phase/matrix
function and the color temperature is automatically
adjusted with the auto white balance function by using the
BKM-14L Auto Setup Probe, etc.
Safe area display
The safe area display function equipped as standard
displays the important image area.
Expandable input capability
The input connector configuration can be easily modified
by simply inserting the optional adaptor into the input
option slot at the rear of the monitor. Up to three adaptors
can be installed.
Stable color temperature
The internal beam current feedback circuit maintains a
constant color temperature over long periods of time.
Blue-only mode convenient for monitoring
noise
All three CRT cathodes can be driven with a blue signal,
producing a monochrome display. This mode is
convenient for chroma and phase adjustment, and for
monitoring VTR noise.
Matrix selection
The ITU601, ITU709 and SMPTE 240M matrix modes can
be selected for individual input signals. The individual
matrix data can be memorized in USER1 to 5 by adjusting
the auto chroma/phase/matrix.
Digital uniformity circuit
Uniform white can be reproduced on every point of the
screen, even in the peripheral area, thanks to the built-in
digital uniformity circuit. The uniformity can be adjusted
to match the installation conditions of the monitor.
Automatic adjustment is also possible using the optional
BKM-14L auto setup probe.
Other features
• Has relay contact parallel remote control connector.
• Built-in test signal generator for crosshatch, 100% white
signal, 20% gray signal, gray scale, and PLUGE (Picture
Line Up Generating Equipment).
• H delay/V delay function for checking of the horizontal
and vertical synchronization signals.
• Auto and manual degaussing.
• Built-in CRT protection circuit.
• The monitor may be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-
inch rack, using an optional BKM-30E20 Rack Mount
Kit.
• The appearance of the monitor can be changed to 16:9 or
4:3 display by the replacement of a mask.
• Remote Maintenance function for checking the device
information (Model Name, Serial No, IP Address and
Software Version) and error information by connecting
to Sony e-Support System with an SNMP protocol.
Options
For external control

monitor’s color temperature.
The probe is also used for white uniformity adjustment.
For installation
BKM-30E20 Rack Mount Kit
Rack mount kit for mounting the BVM-A20F1U/A20F1M/
A20F1A in an EIA standard 19-inch rack.
BKM-35H Monitor Control Unit Attachment Kit
Assembly kit for attaching a BKM-15R Monitor Control
Unit to the BVM-A20F1U/A20F1M/A20F1A.
SMF-700 Monitor Interface Cable
Used to connect the BVM-A20F1U/A20F1M/A20F1A
monitor to the BKM-15R Monitor Control Unit.
Input adaptors
The input connector panel is configured by sliding the
optional decoder adaptor or input expansion adaptor into
the input option slot at the rear of the monitor. Up to three
adaptors can be installed to the monitor.
The input signal type for each connector of the adaptor is
set with the INPUT CONFIGURATION menu, in
accordance with the configuration of the connector panel.
When installing the adaptor, be sure to perform the
necessary input signal setup with the INPUT
CONFIGURATION menu. If the setup is not performed,
the adaptors may not function correctly.
For information about the INPUT CONFIGURATION
menu, see “
[C]
Setting the Input Configuration – INPUT
CONFIGURATION Menu” on page 37.
