Panasonic's Professional 25.5-Inch 3D Production Monitor
Further expanding
it’s 3D
production product offerings, Panasonic have 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 colour in a durable,
production-tough LCD panel package.
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).
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
colour 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 colour settings - SMPTE, EBU, ITU-R
BT.709, Adobe 2.2, Adobe 1.8 and D-Cinema – for superior colour 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.
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 and 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.
The BT-3DL2550 3D production monitor will be available
this September at a suggested list price $9,900.
