Panasonic BT-LH900A Production Monitor

The Panasonic BT-LH900A BT Series Multi-Format Color Production Monitor greatly simplifies HD and SD monitoring on location or on a sound stage. With its slim 2.5-inch profile and light 4.4 lbs. weight, the HD/SD compatible BT-LH900A takes full advantage of the LCD panel's space-saving design. The BT-LH900A is energy efficient by consuming less power that a conventional CRT HD monitor. And DC operation makes the BT-LH900A ideal for outdoors applications.

The BT-LH900A is equipped with two SDI inputs automatically detecting HD or SD, one component input (Y/Pb/Pr or RGBS), and one composite input. The new Video/CineGamma Conversion Table and built-in waveform monitor function support HD production when using the popular Panasonic VariCam HD Cinema Camera. It easily mounts atop the VariCam and other cameras as well. Also convenient is the separate control panel that can be mounted on the top, side, or bottom of the monitor. Designed for side-by-side rack mounting (optional) and equipped with both DC input and Anton Bauer Gold Mount, the BT-LH900A brings the same high level of performance and convenience to OB vans and studio/control rooms.

For monitor rack applications, up to 99 units can be controlled from and external PC via RS-232C and GPI controls.

It provides for high-brightness, high-contrast viewing up to a 170-degree viewing angle, both horizontally and vertically, that minimizes color variation and ensures sharp images.
