Ikegami HLM-1704WR 17" Monitor Tested Works Well

Description

Ikegami HLM-1704WR 17" Monitor Tested Works Well.
This 17-inch type HDTV/SDTV multi-format color monitor employs a liquid crystal panel for reduction in thickness, weight and power consumption, and is designed for use in various spaces such as sub-control rooms, editing rooms, monitor wall, transmission control desks, and outside broadcast vans. This monitor is compatible with the functions and operation of the HTM/TM series CRT monitors, so that it can realize the functions necessary for a broadcasting service monitor with conventional operation.
Features
High Performance Liquid Crystal Panel
Employed is a liquid crystal panel with a high resolution of Wide-XGA (1280 x 768 dots) that is excellent in basic performances such as high brightness, high contrast, wide viewing angle, quick response and good color reproducibility.
Multi-format
The monitor supports various broadcasting formats. The monitor automatically identifies various types of input signal formats. (Format): 480i/59.94 (NTSC), 575i/50 (PAL-B), 1080psF/30, 1080psF/25, 1080psF/24, 1080psF/23.98, 1080p/30, 1080p/29.97, 1080p/25, 1080p/24, 1080p/23.98, 1035i/60, 1035i/59.94, 1080i/60, 1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720p/60, 720p/59.94, 720p/50, 720p/30, 720p/29.97, 720p/24, 720p/23.98, 720p/25
Diverse input sources
The monitor is standard equipped with two SDI signal (compatible with both HD/SD 4:2:2) inputs and one analog composite signal input. For PC signals (VGA/SVGA/XGA/WXGA), DVI-D input.
Compatibility with embedded audio
Standard equipped with an embedded audio feature, the embedded audio signals multiplexed with HD SDI signal or SD-SDI (4:2:2) signal can be automatically recognized and the audio output can be heard through the built-in stereo speakers or stereo headphones. The monitor also has a standard embedded audio level meter display on the screen.
Remote control functions
The monitor can be remote-controlled with the use of two remote control functions. Depending on the place of installation and type of operation, the parallel or serial mode can be used. In addition to the conventional parallel remote control (pin assignment by user is possible), the monitor also comes standard with a serial remote input interface that enables remote control with just one BNC coaxial cable. Up to 99 monitors can be remote-controlled individually or concurrently using an optional serial remote controller SRC-301A/Z simply with Ikagami's various monitors being loop-through connected.
Built-in marker
4:3 (16:9 mode), 13:9, 14:9, 15:9 and 16:9 (4:3 mode), 1.85:1 (16:9 mode) and 2.35:1 (16:9 mode) line markers can be displayed. The monitor also comes standard with 80%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 93%, 95% and 100% area markers in addition to five-part split and ten-part split crosshatch markers useful for location alignment.
User marker display function
Up to 10 different user markers, such as line and box markers, are presettable pixel by pixel to your desired positions and sizes. The line and box drawing settings can be easily made with not just the switch but also the USB mouse. Resulting complicated data may also be saved on a USB memory so that the data can be copied to another monitor or stored in a PC. This function is optimum for positioning in editing the layout and its display for various types of information such as teleshopping. * Patent pending
Shadow function
The shadow function is to shade the area other than a 4:3 (16:9 mode), 13:9, 14:9, 15:9 or 16:9 (4:3 mode) marker area on images. The shadow contrast can be set at 0%, 20%, 40% or 60% on the MENU. The use of this function allows you to instantly visualize the image area when converting images with an aspect ratio of 16:9 to those with an aspect ratio of 4:3 or vice versa. This shadow function can be turned on/off by remote control and prompt switching is therefore realized.
Various built-in test signal
The monitor is standard equipped with color bar signal, grayscale signal with pluge pattern, and window signal. Various adjustments can therefore be made on the monitor alone.
Time code display function
It is possible to display the time code (VITC) multiplexed into SDI signal on the screen. The display comes in two sizes, large and small, and its brightness in three levels.
Waveform monitor/Vector scope display functions
Waveform monitor of brightness signal can be displayed. The display comes in two sizes, NORMAL and SMALL, and its brightness in three levels. The waveform can also be displayed in any of three selectable positions and in one of two colors: GREEN and WHITE. The vector scope can also be readily displayed.
2-picture split display function
A previously captured still image and a currently incoming moving image are displayed split onscreen. Just one monitor serves to compare the pictures from two cameras at once on its screen.
Dot-by-dot display function
All the picture elements of an input signal are displayed 1:1 according to the pixels of the LCD panel without scaling the incoming signal (enlarging or reducing the input signal according to the LCD pixels). This function is useful in checking transmitted input signals for pixel defects, camera CCD's scratches, etc.
External memory function
Various data (MENU settings, PRESET data, etc.) can be saved on a USB memory and copied to a PC, on which the data is ready to manage. Such data may also be copied to another monitor. * Keep in mind that when copying the PRESET data to another monitor, they may be different from monitor to monitor.
Rack mount excellent in space factor
In mounting the monitor on the rack, the HLM-1704WR can be housed at a mere 7U height (equivalent to Ikegami's 15-inch type HTM-1517R).The screen display size of the monitor is equivalent to the screen size of a 15-inch type 4:3 CRT monitor in the 4:3 display mode, and to the screen size of a 20- inch type 4:3 CRT monitor in the 16:9 display mode. Therefore in both the 4:3 and 16:9 display modes, this monitor is excellent in space factor, providing the maximum screen display size in a 7U space.
DC operation
The monitor can accept the AC/DC power as standard. Use of a battery is optionally possible.
Auto setup function
Optional Auto setup prove (ASP-100) can be used with this monitor.
