SONY BVM-HX1710 16.5-inch 4K TRIMASTER HX Professional Master Monitor

SONY BVM-HX1710 16.5-inch 4K TRIMASTER HX Professional Master Monitor
BVM-HX1710 offers unmatched precision and vivid colors within the BVM-HX 4K Professional Master Monitor range. Tailored for OB vans and studio control rooms, this groundbreaking 16.5-inch monitor is the first in the Sony lineup to offer stunning 4K resolution. With 3000 nits of HDR peak brightness, it sets a new standard for true-to-life color accuracy and brightness

Higher peak luminance and greater contrast ratio
As a 4K(3840×2160) HDR master monitor, the BVM-HX1710 is designed for unparalleled color fidelity. *Peak luminance has been increased to 3000 cd/m² while the black color stays black. Shaders will pick up subtle details, delicate highlights and rich colors, even in areas of the image where details were previously lost, with deep blacks. *This peak luminance value is typical at D65 (x, y = 0.3127, 0.329) and is not guaranteed. Auto brightness limiter may work under some conditions.

Faster pixel response
Activated by an optional license, the high-speed pixel response of the BVM-HX1710 is perfect for live sports and music productions. Pan and tilt movements are displayed with less motion blur, while scrolling tickers are easier to read and check. The combination of rapid video response and high brightness make this display far clearer than existing OLED competitors.

Even wider viewing angles
Undertake monitoring work with more people, thanks to a wider viewing angle. Reviewing our optical display materials has allowed us to expand the practical viewing angle of our newest master monitor at 45°. Moreover, this improvement also makes viewing performance of transitions from 0 to 45° and more than 45° improved naturally.

Improved reflection performance
Advanced AR processing takes care of reflections so users can concentrate on their production work. This technology cancels out incoming ambient lights to the screen through optical wave cancellation that’s similar to noise-canceling audio technology. That means better contrast, better black reproduction and a clearer image with minimal resolution degradation.

TRIMASTER HX
TRIMASTER™ Technology is a design architecture that elicits the full performance capabilities of professional flat panel displays. Its core technologies deliver the highest levels of color accuracy, precision imaging, and picture quality consistency, enabling the BVM-HX1710 series to achieve the precise imaging that professionals trusted in the BVM-HX3110. Meanwhile, the BVM-HX1710 series features a Sony-designed dual layer anti-reflection LCD panel with Sony proprietary signal processing, supporting higher peak luminance, faster pixel response and wider viewing angles.

Maximum Luminance Setting
Version 2.0 allows maximum luminance to be set to 4000, 3000, 2000, 1000, 700, 600, 500, or 400, enhancing compatibility with diverse HDR production workflows on BVM-HX1710 and BVM-HX1710N monitors.

HDR-SDR converter function
Unlock simultaneous production of 4K/HD HDR video and HD SDR video, with an optional license that undertakes SDR shading while you view an SDR or HDR signal, for a picture without saturated highlights or crushed lowlights. Three licenses are available:

• BVML-H10 supports Sony’s HDR-SDR, 3D LUT and 4K-HD conversion
• BVML-S10 supports 3D LUT/4K-HD conversion
• BVML-T10 supports 3D LUT conversion only
• The screen display and conversion output can also work independently, so you can rely on the same signal output, even when the display switches. Conversion can be applied to an IP input signal and you can check the converted signal with a built-in waveform monitor and vectorscope.

Optional licenses for a comfortable production environment

• BVML-F10: Fast response license
• BVML-H10: HDR-SDR conversion output license
• BVML-S10: Signal conversion output license
• BVML-T10: 3D LUT output license

2x 4K/HD-SDI Input with Simultaneous Processing and Display
Version 2.0 firmware supports simultaneous processing and output of two 4K or HD signals, enabling side-by-side comparison of 4K content for detailed visual assessments. It also allows displaying a 4K image while feeding a different 4K source with a 3D LUT applied through Enhanced Monitor Output (EMO), offering enhanced versatility for color-critical workflows.

Setting Copy through BVMK-R10
Settings can be copied between the BVM-HX3110, BVM-HX1710, and BVM-HX1710N by storing data on a USB memory stick or transferring it through the BVMK-R10 monitor control unit.

Anti-fingerprint
Designed to make it easy to wipe off accidental fingerprints from transportation or installation.

Recycled plastic
Uniting sustainability with high performance, the BVM-HX1710 now incorporates Sony’s SORPLAS™ (Sustainable Oriented Recycled Plastic), reducing the monitor’s environmental impact.

Pixel Zoom
Version 2.0 introduces pixel zoom, allowing precise checks for dead pixels and focus assessment. Zoom up to 300% is available with no scaling for detailed image analysis.

User 3D LUTs
Check different LUTs with the touch of a button, on set or in post. Load customized LUTs from a USB stick or other EOTF for comparison during pre-grading. High-quality tetrahedral interpolation allows you to use LUTs for HDR-SDR conversion as well.

Quad view display
Instantly compare up to four sets of custom display settings, including EOTF, color space, transfer matrix, color temperature, contrast, brightness and chroma. View LUTs side by side and compare with original footage.

4K/HD scopes with HDR/SDR scale
See waveform monitor and vectorscope displayed with scales for HDR or SDR. These scales change automatically, according to the selected EOTF setting. A color gamut scope is also available, mapping onto the CIE1931 standard chart with the standard color space area display. Waveform monitor options include luma, RGB parade, YCBCR parade, RGB overlay and HDR/SDR scale. Furthermore, with Version 2.0 or later, the scopes can be expanded to twice their original size when displayed on a single screen.
