Sony LMD-A240 24-inch LCD Production Monitor

Sony LMD-A240 24-inch LCD Production Monitor

24-inch cost-effective, lightweight Full HD high grade LCD monitor for studio and field use
Sony's LMD-A240 24-inch LMD-A Series LCD monitor offers Full HD resolution, along with a lightweight and compact design. There is more than a 12% to 22% reduction in mass, 30% reduction in depth, and more than 25% reduction in power consumption, compared to Sony’s previous models. The LMD-A Series offers the same user-interface design, convenient features, functions and operability as PVM-A Series OLED picture monitors. This consistency between the PVM-A and LMD-A Series brings great user benefits when both types of monitor are used in the same network. Furthermore, LMD-A Series monitors provide versatility for a wide range of user applications both in the studio and in the field. These include DC operation, VESA mount and yoke-mount holes.

Full HD picture monitor with excellent cost-performance ratio - Incorporates a 24-inch WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panel and emulates broadcast standards (ITU-R BT.709, EBU, and SMPTE-C).

Lightweight and slim design - More than a 12% to 22% reduction in mass, 30% reduction in depth, and more than 25% reduction in power consumption, compared to Sony’s previous models.

Ideal for studio and field applications - Features includes DC operation, VESA mount and yoke-mount holes.

Consistency with PVM-A Series monitors - Both types of monitor can be operated and controlled in the same way.

Key Features -

Lightweight and compact with lower power consumption - These monitors offer a design that is uniquely light and compact. Their weight is reduced by 12% to 22%, and depth by more than 30%, compared with predecessor models. Power consumption for these models is reduced by more than 25%. Users appreciate these convenient, cost-saving qualities.

Optimised low-latency I/P conversion - The I/P conversion system delivers automatically optimised signal processing according to input signals with low-latency (less than 0.5 field). This system helps users to edit and monitor for a live production.

Time code and In-Monitor Display (IMD) function - With an external remote function via Ethernet, image source names and tally information can be displayed on screen. LMD-A Series monitors support the TSL system protocol. The IMD system can display European language text including umlaut and accent marks.

Waveform monitor and vector scope display - These features enable users to monitor sources using the internal waveform and vector scope. In addition, LMD-A Series monitors provide some of the same evaluation tools as larger, dedicated equipment. Both the waveform monitor and the vector scope offer zoom functions for very precise signal adjustment (from zero to 20% video level), and both have two-channel audio monitoring.

Yoke-mount and VESA-mount capability - The monitor includes screw holes on its side bezels for yoke mounting. This type of mounting is convenient when installing a monitor to a camera crane or monitor stand. There are also VESA-mount 100‑mm pitch holes on each monitor’s rear panel. The optional SU-561 monitor stand (available separately) providing height and tilt function is also available for this model.

User-friendly operability and user interface (UI) - The monitor has a number of additional features, including: Time Code display (LTC/VITC-supported); safety area markers, closed caption display (EIA/CEA-608 and EIA/CEA-708, SDI only), 8-channel audio level meter display, computer signal input capability via HDMI input and external remote control function.

Consistent design with PVM-A Series monitor - LMD-A Series monitors offer the same functions and operability as PVM-A Series monitors and share a consistent front control panel design. This means that both types of monitor can be operated and controlled in the same way.

Input versatility - LMD-A Series monitors are equipped with built‑in standard input interfaces: 3G/HD/SD-SDI (x2) with active loop outputs (x2), HDMI (HDCP) input (x1), and composite (x1) with analogue loop output (x1).

Computer signal input capability - Multiple computer signals can be received via an HDMI/DVI interface; the resolution range is from 640 x 480 to 1920 x 1200 pixels.

Camera focus function - The LMD-A240 monitor can control the aperture level of a video signal, and display images on the screen with sharpened edges to help camera focus operation. Further to this, the sharpened edges can be displayed in user-selectable colours (white, red, green, blue, and yellow) for more precise focusing.

On screen Tally - The monitor is equipped with a three colours red, green and yellow On-screen Tally function.

Network control function - The LMD-A240 has the network control function that allows you to upgrade the monitor software by Ethernet very easily. The network capability will also be utilised for a central control of multiple units in a system environment.

DC power operation - The LMD-A240 is equipped with a DC power connector, which allows operation within 12V to 17V power range.
