Overview
In an expansion of its 3D production product offerings, Panasonic introduced
the new BT-3DL2550, a 25.5-inch 3D LCD production monitor with full 1920 x
1200 resolution. The BT-3DL2550 provides 3D display with true-to-life color
in a durable, production-tough LCD panel package.
“With professional connectivity, including dual HD-SDI and DVI interfaces,
exceptional color performance and a ruggedized frame, the BT-3DL2550
provides everything a production team would need for 3D monitoring in the
field,” said Joe Facchini, Vice President of Sales and Product Management.
“It supports older frame compatible 3D formats and connects easily with
common professional interfaces, so it can integrate into any production.”
The monitor displays 3D content using an Xpol®* polarizing filter, so
content can be viewed with polarizing (passive) 3D eyeglasses. It switches
from Left to Right image display, overlay, Left and Right two window display
and 3D.
The BT-3DL2550 offers the same exceptional-quality color reproduction as
Panasonic’s popular
BT-LH2550 LCD production monitor. With an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel and
10-bit processing circuit, the monitor delivers full 1920 x 1200 resolution
with exceptionally clear detail and offers six color settings - SMPTE, EBU,
ITU-R BT.709, Adobe 2.2, Adobe 1.8 and D-Cinema – for superior color range
and a three-dimensional look-up table (LUT) for calibration. It supports
1080i, 1080p and 720p playback, and offers pixel-to-pixel function in 720p
mode.
The BT-3DL2550 is equipped with two HD/SD-SDI inputs for simultaneous
display of Left image, Right image and 3D signals. 3D signals can also be
supported line-by-line or side-by-side using the monitor’s DVI-D input.
Additional professional level inputs include two HD/SD-SDI inputs, component
and RGB, as well as standard RS-232C (9-pin) and GPI (9-pin) remote inputs,
headphone jack, green and red tally lamps on the front panel. It also has an
embedded audio decoder on board (through its headphone jack), time code
display, closed caption (through video input only), audio level meter
display of up to eight channels.
The 3D monitor can be connected directly to Panasonic’s Full HD 3D camcorder
and other 3D cameras via HD-SDI inputs. It can also be connected to high-end
NLE systems like Quantel’s IQ and Pablo via its two HD-SDI (simultaneous
signal) or to a NLE system running Final Cut Pro via DVI-D (line-by-line
signal).
Additional features include pre-installed calibration software, Cine-gamma
Film-Rec compensation, Standard Markers and Blue-only, H/V delay display,
monochrome and Cross Hatch overlay display, split-screen/freeze frame (live
input vs. freeze frame),
Five customizable function keys on the front panel can be assigned with
various display modes and settings for quick, one-touch adjustments.
The BT-3DL2550 has a durable, lightweight frame and aluminum alloy back
panel, and it is VESA-mount compatible. It comes standard with two
polarizing 3D glasses, a desk stand and an AC adapter. |
