TVLogic, designer and manufacturer of LCD and OLED High Definition displays, announced 12 new models at NAB 2015 to address the increasing demands of broadcast, production, post-production, digital signage and multi-viewer applications. Included in the line-up are a 31.1” 4K monitor, a 17” broadcast model, a new studio wall monitor series comprised of six sizes from 17” to 55”, and a rack monitor range offering four configurations.
The 31.1” monitor (LUM-310A) features 4096 x 2160 resolution with a high contrast ratio of 1450 : 1, and supports 4-SDI and 4-HDMI inputs as well as an HDMI 1-channel input. The LUM-310A provides wide color gamut up to DCI, true 10bit, includes 3D LUT support for precise color reproduction, 2-sample interleave division, HD 1:1 or full-screen upscaling function and TVLogic’s own color calibration utility support.
According to the company’s US representative, Wes Donahue, the new model replaces a more costly one the company previously offered. The new model features a Panasonic panel with 500 cd/m² and a new, less costly processor. Since it does not display the full 20/20 color gamut, it has a 20/20 gamut emulator that uses dithering between two primaries to try to map the out of gamut color to the native color capabilities of the display. To reach closer to a real 2020 native gamut they are looking at a quantum dot solution.
TVLogic debuted the LVM-170A 17.3” model with 1920×1080 resolution. Designed for multiple applications like focus pulling and editing, the display features three analog SDI inputs and outputs, two SDI inputs and one SDI output (SD, HD, 3G-SDI), plus an HDMI and DVI input. The LVM-170A includes wide viewing angle and standard Rec. 709 color gamut, and TVLogic’s own color calibration utility support.
Donahue mentioned this new model is half the price of a previous one at $2,500.
TVLogic is also getting into studio wall display with a new line ranging in sizes from 17.3” to 55” (SWM-170A, SWM-240A, SWM-320A, SWM-420A, SWM-460A, SWM-550A). These feature Rec.709 color gamut, wide viewing angles, support for 2 SDI inputs and outputs, plus one HDMI and one DVI, OSD buttons on the side and an optional SFP optical module. These new SWM series monitors are fully compatible with free ‘Observer’ software for remote control and management. As with all TVLogic monitors, color calibration utility support is included.
Finally, the company added now products to its Rack Monitor series. Options include a 4×4.3”; 3×5.6”; 2×7” or 2×9”. All feature 16.7M color depth and appropriate resolution levels and contrast ratio to maximize quality for each size.
