Sony now redefines its decades of professional monitor experience with the introduction of a new family of BVM series monitors. The BVM-A series of digital monitors, with a number of impressive enhancements, has been designed to surpass the conventional concepts of existing high-grade CRT monitors. Positioned as a successor to the market-acclaimed Sony BVM-D Series, the BVM-A Series - as an industry first - presents a full and consistent line of master-grade CRT monitors. The BVM-A20F1U is a 20-inch (19 inch viewable area measured diagonally), 4:3 aspect ratio monitor. The BVM-A20F1U supports multi-format input, accepting a range of SD and HD signal formats, with the added capability of dual-link HD-SDI input to monitor top-quality images up to 1080/50i and 1080/60i 4:4:4 RGB. The BVM-A series monitors are user configurable with three different option slots in which the user can choose any combination of the three available input option boards. All BVM-A series monitors use the same optional input boards thus allowing the user to share the input boards between the monitors if the need arises. The BVM-A series monitor also incorporates an all-new Ethernet™ based control system, allowing standard network cables and hubs to be used for easy configuration, high reliability, and high communication speed. And for monitor setup and control, the same logical menu structures and Auto Setup capabilities have been retained from its BVM predecessors, further facilitating system setup. Designed to meet the critical needs of today and tomorrow, the BVM-A Series is the choice for any high-grade monitoring application in studio production, post-production, telecine and broadcast operations.

Flat surface HR Trinitron
 Equipped with a Sony Trinitron CRT using SMPTE-C phosphors, the BVM-A Series monitor provides the highest possible picture quality 
Faithful Color Reproduction
 The BVM-A series monitors are designed to provide most accurate phosphor chromaticity, white uniformity, and color temperature, thereby achieiving extremely faithful color reproduction 
Stable Color Temperature
 The internal beam current feedback circuit equipped on the BVM-A Series monitors maintains a constant color temperature over a long period of time. 
Multi-Format Signal Support
 With the appropriate optional input boards installed, the BVM-A Series monitors support a spectrum of SD and HD signals with frequency responses ranging from 15kHz to 45kHz (horizontal)/48kHz to 60kHz (vertical). Input signals are scanned on the CRT raster at their native frequencies and native line counts, with no scan conversion processes involved. 
Dual-Link HD-SDI
 The BVM-A Series monitors offer dual-link HD-SDI capability (requires optional BKM62HS) meeting the SMPTE 327M standard. Using two HD-SDI connectors in a pair, the BVM-A Series allows a variety of digital 4:4:4 HD signals to be accepted in both GBR and Y/PB/PR signal formats. 
Flexible Input Configurations

 The BVM-A Series uses a modular slot design so inputs can be configured according to individual needs. Three input board slots are available on all models, and three diffent optional input boards are available. The optional input boards can be installed in any board slot, and in any combination. 
Modular Monitor Control Unit (BKM-15R)
 The monitor and the control panel are separate units in the BVM-A Series. This allows for greater flexibility in system integration. The BKM-15R can be connected using an optional mounting kit to the 24", 20" & 14" monitors, or it can be connected remotely via an Ethernet cable. 
Ethernet-based Remote Control
 The BVM-A Series monitors and the BKM-15R Monitor Control Unit are equipped with Ethernet ports, allowing remote control of display parameters across a standard Ethernet connection. The BKM-15R can control up to 32 BVM-A Series monitors simply by connecting them using standard Ethernet cables and hubs. 
Memory Stick® Slot
 The BKM-15R has a Memory Stick™ slot to save and load monitor setup and adjustment data on Memory Stick media. In multiple monitor systems, this allows data to be exchanged between units so that the same setup and adjustment status is easily retained. 
SNMP Remote Maintenance
 The BVM-A Series monitors support the SNMP protocol through their Ethernet ports, allowing maintenance information to be monitored and logged on compatible rmote maintenance software (coming December 2005). 
Auto White Balance
 The color temperature of the BVM-A Series monitos can be automatically adjusted by the auto white balance function using the Sony BKM-14L Auto Setup probe as well as probes from other manufacturers. 
Auto Matrix Selection and Auto Chroma/Phase/Matrix Setup
 The BVM-A Series monitors automatically select the most appropriate decode matrix from one of the three matrices (ITU 601, ITU 709, SMPTE 240M), according to the input signal. An Auto Chroma/Phase setup function is also provided, which automatically adjusts the monitor's chroma, phase and matrix using external color bars. 
Digital Uniformity

 With the BVM-A Series monitors, white can be reproduced uniformly on every point of the screen, even in the peripheral area, using the digital uniformity circuit. This adjustment can be made manually or automatically with the use of the optional BKM-14L Auto Set-Up Probe
