Sony LMD-1950MD Car Video System User Manual


 
Incorporating a superb-quality SXGA (1280 x
1024) panel, the LMD-1950MD delivers
extremely high levels of brightness, contrast,
and colour depth. In addition to the Sony
original X-Algorithm technology for I/P
conversion, the monitor incorporates full
10-bit
digital video signal processing, which
enables the unit to deliver natural images with
accurate colour reproduction. What’s more,
video signals
**
are reproduced at an extremely
high resolution of 700 TV lines, providing
detailed images – an essential requirement
for endoscopy applications.
The LMD-1950MD is equipped with a range
of interfaces as standard, allowing users to
view images from multiple sources. It can
accept analogue or digital video signals,
including high definition signals, as well as PC
signals. With multiple option boards, even
more signals can be accepted. In addition,
the LMD-1950MD incorporates a Native
Scan Mode, allowing users to monitor images
from high-definition cameras in native HD
resolution.
The LMD-1950MD has been designed
without air vents to prevent foreign matter
from entering or exiting the unit, and since the
unit complies with VESA mounting standards,
it can be mounted on a surgical mount-arm,
making it ideal for use in operating theatres.
With other convenient features such as User
Memory, Selectable Scan Modes, Auto
Chroma Phase Adjustment, and parallel/
serial interfaces for remote control, the
LMD-1950MD is an ideal choice for surgical
endoscopy applications.
Sony has introduced a new addition to its
medical-grade LCD lineup – the LMD-1950MD
19.1-inch
*
LCD monitor. It meets stringent
medical safety and EMC standards and also
satisfies operating room requirements.
Natural Gradation and
Accurate Colour Reproduction
(10-Bit DSP)
The LMD-1950MD adopts a newly
developed full 10-bit digital video
signal processor to produce accu-
rate, life-like images with smooth and
natural gradation. Conventional LCD
monitors inherently exhibit colour
shift. However, the LMD-1950MD
with its 10-bit processing minimises
this and achieves accurate colour
reproduction with consistent colour
temperature throughout the gray-
scale.
High Horizontal Resolution
The LMD-1950MD achieves a high
horizontal resolution of 700 TV lines,
providing extremely precise and
detailed images, which is essential
during endoscopic procedures.
High Clarity SXGA-Panel
The LMD-1950MD incorporates an
extremely bright 19.1-inch LCD
panel with a robust multi-layer
AR-coated protection layer, which
minimises the damage that can
be caused by scratching the panel.
The AR coating also reduces the
reflection from ambient light to a
minimum. As a result, when used in
bright lighting conditions, high con-
trast is maintained even in dark
areas of the picture – a benefit over
current CRT monitors.
FEATURES
Sophisticated I/P (Interlace
to Progressive) Conversion
With conventional LCD monitors,
interlace signals are displayed on the
progressive LCD pixel array by com-
bining two adjacent picture fields into
one picture frame, or by doubling
scanning lines to create the progres-
sive picture frame. However, these
I/P conversion methods can cause
picture degradation when displaying
moving images.
To solve this problem, the
LMD-1950MD provides sophisti-
cated I/P conversion using Sony
original X-Algorithm technology. This
method combines the pixels above,
below, and in the diagonal direction
of the image in areas where there is
movement, and then inserts a natural
pixel to create the absent lines.
The result? Much smoother image
reproduction for both moving and
static picture areas.
MEDICAL SAFETY APPROVAL
The LMD-1950MD complies with the
UL2601-1, CSA 601.1 and EN 60 601-1
safety regulations, making it suitable for
use in professional medical applications.
