Precautions
On Safety
- Operate the unit only with a power source as specified in the “Specifications” section.
- A nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc., is located on the rear panel.
- Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.
- Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord. If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a damaged power cord.
- Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be used for several days or more.
- Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.
- The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
On Installation
- Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat build-up. Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block the ventilation holes.
- Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
Handling the LCD Screen
- The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99% . Thus a very small proportion
of pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction.
- Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the unit by a window.
- Do not push or scratch the LCD monitor's screen. Do not place a heavy object on the LCD monitor's screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity.
- If the unit is used in a cold place, horizontal lines or a residual image may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to normal.
- If a fixed picture such as a frame of a divided picture or time code, or a still picture is displayed for a long time, an image may remain on the screen and be superimposed as a ghosting image.
- The screen and the cabinet become warm during operation. This is not a malfunction.
With Protection Plate Installed
The protection plate is installed on the monitor to protect the LCD panel at the factory.
- When viewed from an oblique angle, the picture with the protection plate installed may differ in color from that without the protection plate.
- With the protection plate installed, there may be more reflection of light than without.
- As the internal heat of the monitor increases when the protection plate is installed, the fan starts to run earlier than when the protection plate is not installed.
On Cleaning
Before cleaning
Be sure to disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet.
On cleaning the monitor screen
The monitor screen surface is especially treated to reduce reflection of light.
As incorrect maintenance may impair the performance of the monitor, take care with respect to the following:
- Wipe the screen gently with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth. If you wipe the screen using too much force, the screen surface may lose uniformity or the LCD panel may malfunction. Never use tissue as it may scar the surface of the screen.
- Stubborn stains may be removed with a soft cloth such as a cleaning cloth or glass cleaning cloth lightly dampened with water.
- Never use solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner, or acid, alkaline or abrasive detergent, or chemical cleaning cloth, as they will damage the screen surface.
On cleaning the cabinet
- Clean the cabinet gently with a soft dry cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution, followed by wiping with a soft dry cloth.
- Use of alcohol, benzene, thinner or insecticide may damage the finish of the cabinet or remove the indications on the cabinet. Do not use these chemicals.
- If you rub on the cabinet with a stained cloth, the cabinet may be scratched.
- If the cabinet is in contact with a rubber or vinyl resin product for a long period of time, the finish of the cabinet may deteriorate or the coating may come off.
On Repacking
Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container which to transport the unit.
On Rack Mounting
When the monitor is mounted on a rack, the temperature around the monitor may rise due to heat generated from other equipment and reduced air circulation, causing damage to the monitor. To prevent this, keep the space around the monitor (1U or more space above and below the monitor), and install a ventilation fan or take other effective countermeasures so that the temperature around the monitor is within the specified range: operating temperature range of 0 to 35 °C (32 to 95°F).
If you have any questions about this unit, please contact your Sony service representative.

Features
The BVM-L170 is a 17-inch LCD video monitor. It is suitable for television stations or video production houses where precise image reproduction is required.
The BVM-L170 features a flat panel and “TRIMASTER*”, which is a new technology developed for three elements: “accurate color reproduction”, “precision imaging”, and “quality picture consistency,” which are in demand for professional use. “TRIMASTER” decreases the viewing differences that occur due to the individuality of each panel. Also, the BVM-L170 realizes the high picture quality and high trust required for a master monitor through its color management system with a wide color gamut device, high-resolution/precise gradation display, animation improvement technology, and signal processing of high accuracy/calibration/feedback system.
* TRIMASTER is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
17-inch LCD panel developed for the BVM-L170 The 17-inch (16.52 inch) LCD panel was developed for the BVM-L170 and supports full HD signals. It offers a 10-bit driver, high-speed response, high resolution, and high color gradation.
Backlight system by LED with high-purity technology
High-purity LEDs enable a wider color space. The precision backlight system also incorporates a uniformity control function and a color feedback system.
12-bit precision display engine for professional use
The panel is equipped with a unique signal processing engine developed for professional use monitors. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process, and provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm, scaling processing, panel driving, and a highly accurate color management system.
Multi color space
A backlight system with high-precision technology and a color management system that uses a unique 3D LUT (Look Up Table) accurately reproduces the color space that complies with the broadcast standards ITU-R BT.709, EBU, and SMPTE-C. A wider color space* allows digital cinema reproductions.
* The RGB chromaticity of SMPTE RP 431-2 is not covered in full.
High-quality I/P conversion processing
A high-quality picture close to the original is reproduced, with jagged lines and conversion errors decreased by detecting the features of the picture within subdivided blocks and processing them appropriately. Signal delay is reduced by judging whether the content is animation or a still picture from past video signals. Film cadence processing, which converts signals composed of 2-2, 2-3, and 2-3-3-2 pull-down to I/P signals closely following the original, is also selectable.
Interlace display mode
The interlace signal is displayed as an interlace picture by inserting black lines without I/P conversion processing. A picture faithful to the original signal and with the same feel as a CRT is achieved.
For setting the display, see "Selecting Display Mode" on page 90.
Black frame insertion display mode
Monitor blur caused by the holding-type display of the LCD is decreased by blinking the backlight in synchronization with the LCD display frame in double frame rate (100/120Hz) operation of the LCD panel.
For setting the display, see "Selecting Display Mode" on page 90.
Available for a multi signal format
The monitor supports various input signals such as 720 × 576/50i to 1920 × 1080/50P, 60P, digital cinema (D-Cine) 2048 × 1080/24P, and variable computer signals up to 1920 × 1080. A DVI-D (HDCP correspondence), HDMI* (HDCP correspondence), and four option slots are equipped as interfaces, and the monitor supports HD-SDI, Dual-link HD-SDI, 3G-SDI, SD-SDI, RGB, YPbPr, Y/C, and composite signal input.
* HDMI, the HDMI logo, and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing LLC.
HD frame capture function
The frame of the 3G/HD-SDI input signal is captured and saved as a picture file in the “Memory Stick”. This is used to confirm the color tone and picture angle of the current scene and recorded scene by using the multi display (Picture&Picture) function.
* As the frame of the input signal is captured, the data and marker set by the monitor is not reflected.
For the operation, see “Capturing the Picture of the HD Signal (HD Frame Capture)” on page 96.
Multi display function
Two kinds of input signals are output on the monitor. You can select from side by side, wipe, butterfly and blending mode. This is useful for adjusting the color or comparing two pictures.
For the operation, see “Displaying Two Signals on One Screen (Picture&Picture)” on page 93.
Pixel zoom function
As part of the picture is magnified up to 8 times without scaling processing, this is convenient for confirming a minute part of the signal.
For the operation, see “Magnifying the Picture (Pixel Zoom)” on page 94.
Safe area marker and aspect marker functions
The monitor is equipped with two area markers and center marker as the safe area marker and aspect marker for confirming the picture angle.
For the operation, see “Displaying the Area Marker or Aspect Marker” on page 97.
Scan selection/Native scan display function
You can select from under scan ( -3% ), normal scan (0%) and over scan (mask of the 5% over scan portion in the normal scan) for the picture display.
The monitor is equipped with a native scan display function which maps the pixel of the signal to the panel in one-to-one mode. You can select the mode from x1, x2 or Aspect Correction to display a signal in native mode. An SD signal of non-square pixels (the number of H pixels of the signal system is 720 or 1440) or a 640 x 480 SD signal of DVI video/HDMI video is displayed correctly by scaling processing of doubling for the V direction and correct aspect ratio for the H direction, and the picture is also optimized and displayed by modifying the aperture coefficient value, filter coefficient value, etc. in Aspect Correction mode.
For the operation, see “Selecting the Native Scan/Scan Mode” on page 92.
Gamut error function
The signal outside the specified range (gamut error) caused by the conversion of the format or during CG/CM production is displayed in a zebra pattern.
Black detail mode display function
You can reduce to dull black color by backlight leaking and precisely assess any parts with low color gradation.
You can decrease the black level up to 40% of the normal display (100 cd/m2 at 100% signal). The parts with high color gradation (higher than 75 IRE) are clipped by the dynamic range of the circuit, but a zebra pattern (selectable) is displayed in the clipped portions.
For the operation, see “Displaying the Picture in Black Detail Mode” on page 95.
Aspect selectable function
A squeezed and recorded signal is displayed with the correct angle. You can select from 4:3, 16:9, 1.896:1 and 2.39:1* aspect modes.
* When the aspect ratio is set to 2.39:1, the resolution is reduced.

| Target Luminance Enters the luminance (cd/m2) when the 100% white signal is input.Adjust the luminance by the contrast adjustment (backlight adjustment).Set to 40 to 250. [100]NotesThis menu is not selectable when Contrast Hold is set to On.The luminance is reduced to about half due to the principle of operation in the black frame insertion mode or the interlace display mode. However, on this monitor the normal luminance is set by the contrast adjustment (backlight adjustment). For this reason, as the upper limit of Target Luminance becomes about 120 [cd/m2], set it to less than 120 [cd/m2].The luminance calibrated internally by the backlight does not guarantee an absolute value and may be different from the luminance calibrated by the probe. When you set Target Luminance near to the upper limit (250) or the lower limit (40), the setting value may exceed the adjustment range and cause an error. If an adjustment error occurs, change Target Luminance and perform the automatic adjustment again. | ||

Selecting Display Mode
This monitor applies high contrast to the picture and reproduces accurate color by displaying the interlace signal in progressive mode via I/P conversion, or the PsF progressive signal in progressive mode without I/P conversion.
You can select the following mode according to the input signal or the object to evaluate the picture.
- Black frame insertion display mode: The backlight blinks in synchronization with the signal displayed on the LCD. It is convenient for confirming pictures with multi-action scenes or rolling telop, as the motion blur caused by the holding-type display of the LCD is reduced.
- Interlace display mode: The picture is displayed in interlace mode without I/P conversion processing. The picture near the original quality of the input signal is monitored.

- The luminance is reduced due to the principle of operation in the black frame insertion mode and the interlace display mode. However, on this monitor the normal luminance is set by setting up the value of the backlight luminance. For this reason, the black level is set higher than the normal setting level and the range of the contrast adjustment (backlight adjustment) is different from the normal level, and the luminance may be reduced according to the setting of the contrast.
- You cannot use both the black frame insertion display mode and interlace display mode. When the interlace display is set to on, the black frame insertion display is not set to on.
- The black frame is not inserted in the following cases:
- When Interlace is set to On
- When the 24P or 24PsF input signal is displayed
- When Format of the Input Configuration menu is set to DVI Computer
- When the HDMI computer signal is input
- The picture is not displayed in interlace mode in the following cases:
- When Side by Side is set to On
- When Wipe is set to On
- When Butterfly is set to On
- When Blending is set to On
- When Pixel Zoom is set to on

Inserting/Ejecting the "Memory Stick"
The BKM-16R Monitor Control Unit has a slot that can take both standard size and Duo size. All products with a slot such as this are equipped with a system which automatically measures the size of an inserted medium.
For this reason, both the standard-size “Memory Stick”/“Memory Stick PRO” and smaller “Memory Stick Duo”/“Memory Stick PRO Duo” can be used with this product without a Memory Stick Duo adaptor.
When an M2 adaptor is attached, you can use a “Memory Stick Micro” (“M2”) 1 .
Proceed as illustrated to insert and eject an optional "Memory Stick".
See each menu for information about operations on "Memory Stick" data.
1) "M2" is an abbreviation for "Memory Stick Micro".
