Sony Unveils New 4K OLED Master Monitor

News Image
Sony has unveiled its new BVM-X300 OLED master monitor. The second-generation monitor provides users with more features for HDR and 4K production applications.

From October 2016, the monitor will feature updated Version 2 firmware, including further HDR EOTF and function support, a new hardware with an HDMI input for easy connection to cameras of Blu-ray players, plus a second 3G/HD-SDI 4K input for simple system integration.

The BVM-X300 V2 firmware update also delivers new display functionality for HDR production, including Hybrid Log Gamma HDR EOTF setting supporting the new ITU-R BT.2100 standard; new EOTF called S-Log 3 (Live HDR) supports easier camera control for live production; new one-touch relative contrast modes (1/2, 1/3 and 1/4), allowing display of HDR images with higher peak luminance; and faster access to the status menu page.

Daniel Dubreuil, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Professional Monitors, said: "This monitor has become the de facto reference standard for 4K and HDR grading in the post-production suite, and it's also making its way on set and into mobile production. These new updates make the BVM-X300 even more adaptable as demand for production requirements grows increasingly."
