Verdict The launch of this new reference monitor also marks the introduction of Sony’s new technology brand TRIMASTER HX. Should become the new Netflix standard. HDR EOTF and, for the first time in Sony professional monitors, 12G-SDI is supported, enabling 4K transmission with a single SDI cable. It handles ITU-R BT.2020 colour space and HDR images with Hybrid Log Gamma, SMPTE ST.2084 and 2.4 (HDR) gamma alongside S-Log2, S-Log3 and S-Log3 Live HDR for SR Live Workflow. Additionally, the BVM-HX310’s User LUT function will allow users to load pre-defined LUTs based on their viewing requirements on-set or in post-production. SONY ANNOUNCED A NEW 31in Grade 1 reference monitor, the BVM-HX310, which offers accurate colour reproduction and high-contrast performance to provide professional content creatives assurance when making critical picture decisions. The BVM-HX310 has been created in response to the industry’s desire to overcome the challenge of accurate picture evaluation, especially in relation to black reproducibility. This monitor can accurately reproduce images down to individual pixels, thanks to a combination of the Sony specified and dedicated panel and its newly developed, display-processing technology. It is also fully capable of reproducing 4K and High Dynamic Range (HDR) content, supports industry standard brightness of up to 1,000 NITs in full- screen and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for HDR productions. The BVM-HX310 hosts all major
Verdict TV Logic are a company who are always near the front of any new technology and that includes the new dual-layer LCDs that are rumoured to be coming soon. practical option for editing and grading and with a list price of around £11,000, it is easier on the pocket as well as the eyes. THIS HAS BEEN THE YEAR OF 4K/ UHD and high dynamic range (HDR) for TVLogic. Its range of UHD monitors includes seven LCD monitors from 17in t0 55in, as well as a 55in OLED. There is a 24in native UHD monitor, a choice of three 31in true 4K resolution monitors with different panel brightness, and a great value 43in native UHD monitor. At 55in, there is a choice of LCD or OLED panels. The OLED features a 750- NIT panel and an ultra-slim bezel, making it an ideal client monitor. Inputs are standard across the range, with monitors accepting 4x3GB, 2x6GB or a single 12GB SDI input. All SDI inputs have a re-clocked output. There is also an HDMI 2.0 input for 4K over a single cable. They feature waveform monitors, vector scopes, cages and all the features you expect from TVLogic. All monitors feature HDR emulation, a method of making the best use of the panel’s maximum brightness and closely matching the appropriate HDR curve. The star performer may be the 31in, 2000-NIT LUM-310R, which shows true HDR even for PQ signals. The LUM-318G is also a popular alternative. It has an 850-NIT, 31in panel, which can show S-Log, HLG, or PQ signals with minimal compression. The slightly lower brightness has proved a more
Verdict The DT-U28 and DT-U31 monitors both support HDR functions, with Hybrid include histogram alongside the waveform monitor, vectorscope and 16-channel audio metering. There’s also a 4K pixel-to-pixel zoom function for any area of the screen. JVC HAS TWO NEW STUDIO MONITOR prototypes, each featuring 10-bit panels and 12-bit colour processing. The DT-U28 is a 28in UHD model, while the larger DT-U31 31.5in model features full 4K resolution. Both models can support 12G-SDI – or four times 3G HD-SDI – along with HDMI 2.0 with HDCP 2.2 for 4K support. Thanks to their high resolution and four HD-SDI inputs, the DT-U Series monitors can also be used as quad-split displays, ideal for broadcast monitoring applications. There is a waveform monitor and vectorscope, too, together with 16-channel audio metering, plus the monitors can support DisplayPort for graphics devices. They are TSL RS-485 UMD compatible, also working with other standard control tools, and can be remote controlled via IP. The DT-U Series monitors are expected to be available at the beginning of 2019. JVC has also a new range of HD monitors, featuring four models from 17in to 27in with 8-bit panels and 12-bit colour processing. The DT-G Series of monitors have 3G HD-SDI connections with loop, plus HDMI 2.0, and support a wide range of video signals, including 4K scaling. Similar to the existing DT-V Series, professional features on these models
