Product InformationLMD-940W9-inch Wide Screen LCDMonitorSince its introduction in 2003, Sony’s LMD Serieshas offered professional monitors in a variety oftypes and sizes, suitable for applications in thestudio and in the field.Building on a long history as a leading supplier ofhigh-definition technology products, Sony continuesto enhance its LMD Series of monitors by introducinga new 9-inch high grade monitor, theLMD-940W.The LMD-940W high-grade monitor incorporates anewly designed 3G SDI capability. With this feature,this monitor is able to accept 50P and 60Pvideo signals using only one single SDI cable.Features9-inch WVGA9-inch* WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) LCD panel* Viewable area, measured diagonally.Multi-format Signal Support - up to 3GSDI InputThe LMD-940W monitor can accept almost any SDor HD video format, both analogue and digital.These include composite NTSC and PAL, component480/60i and 575/50i, progressive 480/60P and576/50P, and high-definition 1080/60i, 1080/50i,720/60P, 1080/24P, 1080/25P, 1080/30P, 1080/24PsF, and 1080/25PsF. The LMD-940W can alsoaccept 1080/50P and 1080/60P formats from a 3GSDI input. To provide mobility, the LMD-940W incorporatesvarious video interfaces as standard,including composite, SDI interface* for SD-SDI,HD-SDI, 3G SDI, and HDMI interface.* The SD-SDI, HD-SDI and 3G SDI inputs sharethe same BNC connector, which offers automaticsignal detection.3G SDI InputThe LMD-940W monitor has a 3G SDI input capabilityas standard. On Sony’s monitors, the 3GSDI interface is compliant with the SMPTE 425standard, transmitting up to 4:2:2/10-bit 1080/60P video data using one SDI cable. This singlelinksystem is known as a SD-SDI or HD-SDI system,but it can also handle both Dual-Link HD-SDIand 3G SDI video data with the use of Sony’s 3GSDI interface. This 3G SDI interface enables theLMD-940W monitor to accept 50P and 60P* videodata. Where an upgrade to a Dual-Link HD-SDIsystem is necessary, this single-link 3G SDI systemis also the ideal alternative.* 50P/60P images are reproduced without thedelay caused by the I/P-conversion process.High Purity Colour FiltersThe LMD-940W monitor uses precisely manufacturedRGB colour filters, allowing the reproductionof colours with stunning depth and saturation tocreate highly natural images.Accurate Gamma and Stable White Balance- ChromaTRU Colour ProcessingFor an extra level of colour-reproduction accuracy,every LCD panel used in the LMD-940W monitor isprecisely colour calibrated at the factory, providingcharacteristics consistent with those of CRTdisplays. The colours of an LCD display, by nature,can exhibit inaccurate R, G, B colour coordinatesand unbalanced R, G, B gamma curves, which canmake precise colour matching between multiplemonitors a challenge. These are also the primaryreasons why LCD colour tone can differ slightlywww.sonybiz.net/monitors 1

LMD-940Wfrom CRT tone. The LMD-940W monitor solves thisproblem by precisely calibrating each LCD panel’slight output so that the R, G, B colour coordinatesare virtually the same as those of a CRT monitor.A second calibration is further applied so thatwhite balance is maintained at a consistent colourtemperature throughout all grey scale levels. Theresult of these precise calibrations is colour reproductionreminiscent of Sony’s CRT displays.Sophisticated I/P ConversionThe LMD-940W monitor uses a motion-adaptiveI/P-conversion process to achieve conversion resultsthat are optimized to the picture content -whether it is static or dynamic. Highly accurate I/Pconversion is provided regardless of signal resolution,for example, whether the input is HD or SD.Excellent Brightness and ContrastThe LMD-940W monitor provides high-brightness,high-contrast images by utilizing super-wide apertureLCD panels.Extremely Wide Viewing AngleThe LMD-940W monitor wide viewing angle bothhorizontally and vertically, with virtually no reductionin picture contrast, colour saturation and hueshift. This allows precise images to be clearlyviewed from various positions and angles - a criticalrequirement in professional video monitoring.AR (anti-reflection) Coated ProtectionPanel*The LMD-940W monitor uses robust AR-coatedprotection layers, which minimize the chance ofthe panel being scratched during transportation -an extremely important criteria for use in the fieldor in any mobile application. The AR coating additionallyhas two unique characteristics: it providesa high transmission rate of the internal lightsource to keep the picture as bright as possible,and it keeps reflection from ambient light to aminimum. As a result, when used in bright lightingconditions, high contrast is still maintained even indark areas of the picture.*This protection panel is detachableAdvanced Marker SettingsThe LMD-940W monitor can display various areamarkers, including a centre marker and aspectmarkers. The brightness of these markers can beselected from three different levels: white, gray,and dark grey. Users can also select either a blackor grey matte to fill the outer area of the aspectmarkers. These flexible marker controls, togetherwith the choice of many different aspect markers,make the LMD-940W monitor extremely convenientdisplay device for a variety of shootingscenarios.Assignable control panelIn addition to the familiar OSD operation, the LMDSeries monitors offer control functions on themonitor bezel. The LMD-940W incorporates a newcontrol-function design. By assigning monitorfunctions* to each of its seven function buttonsrespectively, users can customize the LMD-940Wfor a specific application or usage such as field andstudio use.*Brightness, Contrast, Chroma, Scan, H/V Delay,Volume, and I/P Mode are assignable.Colour TemperatureColour temperatures of 9300k, 6500k, or a userpreset value can be selected.Selectable Scan Size for Video Input andAspect RatioThe scan size can be selected between 5% overscan and 0% scan modes. The aspect ratio can beswitched between 16:9 and 4:3 according to theinput signal.Three-colour TallyThe LMD-940W comes equipped with a tally lampthat can be lit via a parallel remote connector. Thestatus of the signal displayed on the monitor canbe identified by the tally colour - red, green, oramber.Parallel and Serial Remote ControlThe LMD-940W monitor can be controlled remotelyvia a parallel and serial remote connector.There are 27 functions in the parallel remotemenu (such as the ability to switch input signals),of which eight can be allocated to the connector.The serial remote controls are supported via theEthernet command.Audio MonitoringThe LMD-940W is equipped with a headphone jackand a monaural speaker (0.5 W), which enablethe user to monitor audio.Protected ControlsThe key-inhibit function helps prevent inadvertentoperation from the control panel.www.sonybiz.net/monitors 2

LMD-940W19-inch EIA Standard RackThe LMD-940W is 4U high and half-rack wide.Using the optional MB-531 Mounting Bracket witha 10-degree-forward and 10-degree-backwardnonstop-tilt capability, two units can be installedside by side in a 19-inch EIA standard rack.Screw holes for Camera PedestalThe LMD-940W monitor has 3/8-inch and 1/4-inchscrew holes on the bottom. These allow theLMD-940W monitor to be installed in a camerasystem, for example, by mounting it on a camerapedestal. The LMD-940W can also control and increasethe aperture level of a video signal to helpcamera focus operation.Optional ENG Kit availableThe LMD-940W monitor is a strategic choice foruse in ENG and EFP field operations. When comparedto CRT displays, the picture contrast ofthese monitors is affected less by ambient light,allowing clear images to be viewed even understrong sunlight. For further protection, the optionalVF-510 ENG Kit provides a Viewing Hood, CarryingHandle, and Connector Protector.Benefits3G readyEquipped as standard with a 3G input, theLMD-940W allows single HD-SDI link for 1080psignals.
