JVC To Show Two Prototype 4K Studio Monitors At IBC

JVC will demonstrate prototypes of two new studio models at IBC, each featuring 10-bit panels and 12-bit colour processing.

The DT-U28 is a 28-inch UHD model, while the larger DT-U31 31-inch 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.

The DT-U28 and DT-U31 monitors both support HDR functions, with HDR-10 and Hybrid Log Gamma 3D LUTs. Colour gamut is expected to be REC2020, with automatic calibration accessed using an optional professional sensor. There is a waveform monitor and vectorscope too, together with 16-channel audio metering, plus the monitors can support Display port for graphics devices. They are TSL RS-485 UMD compatible as well as 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 2018.

JVC will also be showing its new range of HD monitors, featuring four models from 17 to 27-inch with 12-bit colour processing. The DT-G Series of monitors will have 3G HD-SDI connections with loop, plus HDMI 2.0, and will support a wide range of video signals, including 4K scaling.

Like the popular DT-V Series of studio and field broadcast monitors, professional features on these new models include waveform monitor, vectorscope, histogram and 16-channel audio metering. There's a 4K pixel to pixel zoom function, for any area of the screen, along with 3D LUT support and built-in calibration processing (optional USB sensor required). All four DT-G models run on both mains or battery power, for studio or location use, and can also be remotely controlled over IP.
