Sony PVM-X3200 V2 32" 16:9 4K UHD HDR TRIMASTER High Grade Picture LCD Monitor

4K HDR picture monitor color-matches with the BVM-HX310 master monitor, ideal for 4K and HD productions
The PVM-X3200 is a 32-inch 4K HDR high grade picture monitor, incorporating a Sony-specified premium LCD panel that offers 1000 cd/m2 luminance and color matching with the BVM-HX310 4K HDR master monitor. This makes group monitoring easy for on-set, studio and truck applications, and in 19" EIA racks for editing, audio mixing etc.

TRIMASTER assures accurate color reproduction, precise imaging and consistent picture quality
Sony's acclaimed TRIMASTER architecture delivers accurate picture reproduction, precise imaging and quality picture consistency. There are many advantages in the panel control and signal processing system such as fast processing, accurate linearizing of an input signal with Optical Electrical Transfer Function, accurate color reproduction, etc.

HDR-SDR conversion support
The optional PVML-HSX1, HDR-SDR conversion license, the PVM-X3200 supports HDR-SDR conversion in live production environments. The license activates: 4K to HD down-conversion, color space conversion, OETF conversion, Progressive to Interlace conversion and Quad-link 3G to Single-link 12G conversion. It also allows the output of converted pictures to other 4K or HD monitors via the Enhanced Monitor Output. This feature facilitates local or remote monitoring of converted signals.

User 3D LUT signal output support
The optional PVML-HSX1 HDR-SDR conversion license also supports the output of signals with applied User 3D LUTs via the Enhanced Monitor Output to other 4K/HD devices further facilitating efficient workflows in live production, cinema, drama, commercial, music and documentary production environments.

SR Live metadata
It's support for SR Live metadata which enables the PVM-X3200 monitor settings to be matched to the incoming signal. You can also confirm the SR Live metadata parameters on an incoming SDI signal in the Status menu. This helps to streamline use of the monitor in SR Live workflows.

Dynamic Contrast Drive and Black Detail High/Mid/Low
Dynamic Contrast Drive is a new backlight control system that dynamically changes the panel's backlight luminance to adapt to changing content enabling you to confirm the total balance of highlights and low lights at a glance. The feature can be used to reproduce black representation in dark content, such as night scenes and provide specular highlights in bright content such as snow field and summer beach scenes. The Dynamic Contrast Drive feature provides a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1.

Due to the inherent nature of LCD panels, some backlight leakage is unavoidable. To compensate, Black Detail Mode High/Mid/Low facilitates more accurate monitoring of black detail in dark, low- APL (average picture level) images. The backlight level is reduced but gamma is maintained for correct color and gray scale. High luminance areas may be clipped due to the dynamic range of the monitor. Any clipped portions can be displayed as clipped or highlighted by a zebra pattern.

Inputs for 12G-SDI and Quad-Link 3G-SDI to HD-SDI as well as HDMI
The PVM-X3200 provides 12G-SDI inputs, and can accept quad-link 3G-SDI and a single HD-SDI from traditional devices. The monitor also supports an HDMI connection for display of inputs with signal formats ranging from 640x480/60P PC up to 4096x2160/60P 4:2:2 YCBCR 12bit.

Various scopes
A waveform monitor and vector scope can be simultaneously displayed with scales for both HDR and SDR, supporting signal confirmation of both input signal level and output luminance. There are three different displays for luminance, RGB/YCBCR parade or RGB overlay with the gamut error display. The waveform of a specified line can also be displayed. Furthermore, with future firmware, a color gamut scope will be available that maps colors in the CIE1931 standard chart with the standard color space area display.

Unique quad view display with User 3D LUT
The PVM-X3200 provides a quad view display, with individual settings for EOTF (SDR/HDR), color space, transfer matrix, color temperature, contrast, brightness, SDI/HDMI, RGB/YCBCR, as well as User 3D LUTs for each display view. It's also supports the display of scopes when monitoring in Triple or Dual picture modes.

Enhanced user interface and channel select button
The monitor's OSD (On Screen Display) has been significantly enhanced to make operation faster and more intuitive. The new design enables review and quick adjustment of settings. The Channel select button protects users from making inadvertent setting errors.

Optimized features for field operation
Yoke-mounting is also supported. Field operation is further enhanced by false color and camera focus functions. The false color feature assigns the in-coming signal different colors for different exposure levels, providing a fast and effective tool for verifying exposure. The Focus Assist feature displays incoming images with sharpened edges to help determine camera focus. The sharpened edges can be displayed in user-selectable colors (white, red, green, blue, and yellow) for more precise focusing.

Various mount capabilities
Yoke-mount and wall mount options are also available for installation in a C stand for field use, or on a desktop arm for editing.

Powerful stereo sound with audio muting
The PVM-X3200 incorporates stereo speakers (2W+2W) with audio muting.

Features

32-inch 4K premium LCD panel for faithful color matching with the BVM-HX310
The PVM-X3200 features a 32-inch 4K premium LCD panel (3840 x 2160 pixel resolution) with a wide color gamut, high luminance, high contrast, fine gray scale, wide viewing angle and excellent uniformity. The Sony-specified panel supports a 1000 cd/m2 luminance and offers the same color gamut as Sony's flagship BVM-HX310 Master Monitor. This provides accurate color matching within the production workflow from acquisition to finishing for live productions, TV programs, documentaries, music videos, movies, dramas and commercials. All personnel working on a project can reliably share the same accurate view of colors and tones, even if they are working at different locations and times.

HDR-SDR Conversion support
The optional PVML-HSX1, HDR-SDR conversion license*, the PVM-X3200 also supports HDR-SDR conversion in a live production environment. The HDR license supports any of the following:

• 4K to HD down-conversion
• Color space conversion from ITU-R BT.2020 to ITU-R BT.709
• OETF conversion from HDR OETF S-Log3(HDR), ITU-R BT.2100(HLG), SMPTE ST2084 to SDR EOTF 2.4 and OETF 0.45
• Progressive to interlace conversion
• Quad-link 3G to single-link 12G conversion

It also allows the output of converted signals to other 4K or HD monitors via the Enhanced Monitor Output that supports 12G/6G /3G/HD-SDI, even if an original 4K source is Quad link 3G-SDI. This feature allows for local or remote monitoring of converted signals. The license activation is field upgradeable via USB memory, providing conversion capabilities to PVM-X3200 monitors.

Note: The PVML-HSX1, HDR-SDR conversion license, is sold separately. HDR-SDR conversion is activated via the USB port on the front control panel of the monitor.

Versatile 4K video input capability
The PVM-X3200 is equipped with built-in standard input interfaces: (12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI) BNC (x2), (3G/HD-SDI) BNC (x2) and HDMI (HDCP2.3/1.4) (x1). 12G simplifies wiring, from simple to large-scale field systems. Quad-link 3G-SDI is highly convenient for systems configured with 'traditional' devices. HDMI simplifies interfacing with devices including rasterizers, multi-viewers, digital cameras, set top boxes, UHD Blu-ray players, PCs etc.
