Sony is expanding its BVM-L Series of LCD master monitors with the new BVM-L420, a 42-inch display. The new monitor has a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 and its signal processing engine incorporates 12-bit accuracy, delivering an IP conversion algorithm for interlaced signal display and reduced processing delay. The 10-bit LCD panel has been designed to produce a better picture contrast and more accurate black details, and also uses a new LED backlight technology to remove motion blur. Other upgrades in the new display include pixel zoom function, gamut error display mode, and EIA-608/708 closed-caption decoding capability. The new display incorporates some of the same Sony TRIMASTER technologies as the BVM-L230, like high gray-scale gradation and motion picture response; it also has a newly developed technology designed to accurately reproduce color spaces with 3D LUT management. The monitor’s inputs include the standard DVI-D, and, optionally the HD-SDI/SDI SDI (4:2:2 10-bit and 4:4:4 10- or 12-bit), composite, Y/C, RGB/YPBPR/XYZ, and dual-link HD-SDI. Available this summer. Prices to be announced. http://bssc.sel.sony.com
