TVLogic 18.5 QC-Grade Wide Viewing LCD Monitor TVL-LVM-181S

Overview

The LVM-181S is our top-grade 18.5 model featuring an 18.5 inch IPS LCD panel with a 1920x1080 native resolution, high brightness of 500 nit, enhanced contrast ratio, and a wide viewing angle, all unmatched by other LCD monitors. A completely redesigned video processing unit provides powerful dual-channel performance and artifact-free image reproduction. Support for various cinema camera log-to-linear LUTs, easy field upgradability, and a full array of image processing features are standard.

HDR Emulation

A true HDR monitor must employ a special display panel with high dynamic range and a wide color gamut, along with being calibrated for PQ and HLG. For example, the LUM-310X (dual layer LCD system) and LUM-310R (LCD with local dimming backlight system) are capable of reproducing a peak luminance of 1,000 nit and 2,000 nit respectively, and a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1; in addition, they cover 99% of the DCI color gamut.

Other monitors utilizing displays with normal luminance range from 0.1 nit up to 400 nit or high luminance monitors with up to 2000 nit with variable black level (0.1 - 1.5 nit) are defined as HDR Emulation monitors in TVLogic, although they have HDR EOTF and related functions. Below is a simple example for your reference:

• True HDR Monitor: HDR Display (1000 nit, 1M CR, DCI gamut) + HDR EOTF & other related functions
• HDR Emulation Monitor: Normal Display (400 nit, 1000:1, BT.709 gamut) + HDR EOTF & other related functions

In TVLogic monitors, the HDR Emulation function includes the control parameters below:

• Standard Color Mode (HLG, PQ, PQ2)
• Video Range
• Display Luminance
• HDR EOTF (PQ, HLG) or Camera Logs (coming soon)
• PQ EETF (On / Off)
• HLG System Gamma (Fixed 1.2 / Auto)
• Color Gamut (BT.709, DCI-P3, BT.2020 and Native mode)
• White Point (D65, D93, DCI)
• Gamut Warning
• Shadow Mode (LUM-318G only)

Ember+ Control Protocol

Ember+ from LAWO group is a non-proprietary TCP/IP interface protocol for broadcast equipment. An Ember+ provider can publish parameters which may then be used by an Ember+ consumer. Please visit the GITHUB site for more information.

11 Pixel Mapping Modes for SD/HD

Displays the original image resolution without scaling to match a certain resolution or an aspect ratio.

Blue Only / Mono

Red and Green channels are not used, and only the Blue or Monochrome channel is used to display the screen. This function is used to adjust the color tones (tones and saturation) of the screen using the SMPTE Color Bar. For example, after displaying the Blue channel, adjust the Color (or Saturation) and Tint (or Hue) so that the original Magenta and Cyan are of the same brightness, and the original Gray and Blue are of the same brightness.

Custom 3D LUT Import

Allows you to load your custom 3D-LUT files from NLE software like Davinci Resolve via USB flash memory and displays your LUT on VFM-055A or F-7H. Once you synchronize LUTs in the monitor, you will easily change them during production.

Focus Assist

Assigns a color to the pixels on the boundaries of the image to inform the user to achieve the best focus. With this function, users can easily differentiate the focused area from the out-of-focus area, especially when shooting with a shallow depth of field.

Marker

Displays various kinds of aspect ratios on the screen. A wide range of markers and security areas are available with line color and curtain transparency selection. A User Marker is available if any of the standard markers fit your requirements.

Various Scan Modes

Controls the size of the image:

• Overscan: Extra area around the four edges of the image that may not be seen reliably by the viewer.
• Underscan: Constrains the size of the image so the monitor shows everything the camera is seeing.
• 11 Pixel: Displays the original image resolution without scaling to match a certain resolution or an aspect ratio.

Waveform/Vector Scope

Waveform Y: Displays the Luma (Y), Cb, Cr components of the input signal in waveform.

Vector Scope: Displays the color components B-Y and R-Y of the input signals onto the X-Y axis.
