The BVM-L230 is a Full HD LCD Master Series monitor. It is the result of over 5 years of engineering development and the design of the monitor has generated over 40 patents! The monitor features the industry's first 10-bit LCD Panel driver with full 1920x1080 HD Resolution. The BVM-L230 also features a Sony developed LED backlight system which offers wide color spaces and color accuracy not available in conventional LCD monitors. The BVM-L230 not only achieves the quality of monitoring confidence our customers have come to enjoy with Sony's BVM-A and BVM-D series CRT monitors, but it also adds innovative features for today's new master monitoring needs. These include a newly developed color space selection function, a unique Picture and Picture display, and an interlace display mode to name just a few. The new BVM-L230 LCD master monitor comes equipped with DVI-D as a standard input. Optional input modules are available to add HD-SDI, SD-SDI, RGB/Component or Composite/Y/C inputs. Dual-link HD-SDI is possible when using two BKM-243HS in parallel. A total of four option slots are available and can be populated with any mix of the four available option modules. The BVM-L230 is controlled using the BKM-16R control unit. The BKM-16R control unit is also capable of controlling legacy BVM-D and BVM-A series CRT monitors as well as Sony's latest LUMA monitors, the LMD-2450W and LMD-2050W. The BVM-L230 incorporates Sony's TRIMASTER™ technology. The TRIMASTER technology is a design architecture used to bring out the full performance capabilities of professional flat-panel displays. It comprises the core technologies that enable the highest level of color accuracy, precision imaging, and quality picture consistency.

| Features | Benefits: |
|---|---|
| Nonlinear Cubic Conversion Color Management System | Uses unique 3-D LUT (look-up table) to reproduce highly precise color space, thus offering accurate color reproduction |
| Selectable Color Space | By using a Sony high-purity LED backlight system, together with its color management system, the BVM-L230 can accurately reproduce color space that complies with broadcast standards - ITU-R BT.709, EBU or SMPTE-C. Furthermore, the BVM-L230 can emulate the D-Cinema color space used for digital cinema productions |
| Digital Uniformity | The color feedback system of the BVM-L230 constantly monitors and compensates for any color shifts, maintaining accurate luminance uniformity |
| Full HD Panel with 10-bit driver | The BVM-L230 achieves both high resolution and stunning color depth using a full 1920x1080 HD LCD panel and precise 10-bit panel driver |
| Newly Developed I/P Conversion Technology | The BVM-L230 uses a sophisticated I/P conversion technique that keeps edge jaggedness, conversion errors and picture delays to an absolute minimum. |
| Black Frame Insertion | The BVM-L230 reduces motion blur by combining its high frame rate (120/100/96Hz) operation and black frame insertion technology using the high frame rate panel and driving engine. |
| High Accuracy Display Engine | The BVM-L230 uses a 12-bit display engine, which allows images to be reproduced with high precision for accurate evaluation and manipulation. |
| Panel Calibration | Each and every BVM-L230 monitor is carefully calibrated at the factory on an individual basis, providing a high level of accuracy and stability. |
| Color Feedback System | Using a color feedback system, the BVM-L230 achieves the stability called for in master monitors |
| Input Versatility | The BVM-L230 can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analog and digital. These include 525/60i, 625/50i, 525/60P, 625/50P, 1080/24PsF, 1080/24P, 1080/25PsF, 1080/25P, 1080/50i, 1080/30PsF, 1080/30P, 1080/60i, 720/50P, 720/60P, 1080/50P, 1080/60P, and the digital cinema formats of 2048x1080/24PsF and 2048x1080/24P. It can also accept PC signals from VGA to WUXGA (1920x1200). In addition to a DVI-D interface equipped as standard, four option slots are offered to meet user needs. The optional interfaces include composite, Y/C, Y/Pb/Pr, RGB, SD-SDI, HD-SDI, and Dual-Link HD-SDI |
