4K HDR picture monitor color-matches with the BVM-HX310 master monitor, ideal for various 4K and HD productions
The Sony PVM-X1800 is an 18.4-inch 4K HDR high-grade picture monitor, incorporating a Sony-specified premium LCD panel that offers 1,000-cd/m2 luminance and color matching with the BVM-HX310 4K HDR master monitor. This makes group monitoring easy for on-set, studio and OB van walls, and in 19-inch EIA racks for editing, audio mixing, etc.
Acclaimed TRIMASTER Image Technology
Sony's TRIMASTER architecture is purpose-built to get the highest performance from professional displays. Its core technologies deliver accurate color reproduction, precise imaging and remarkable consistency in picture quality. Advanced panel controls and signal processing have been refined for the ultimate experience in image reproduction.
More Efficient Productions and HDR-to-SDR Conversion
Move efficiently between HDR and SDR with the optional PVML-HSX1 HDR-SDR conversion license for live production. And convert color spaces, OETF, progressive to interlace, quad-link 3G to single-link 12G, and 4K to HD at the same time. Compare HDR and converted SDR images side by side and output converted pictures to other 4K or HD monitors too, via the enhanced monitor output.
Adaptive Contrast for Quick Reviews
Enabling you to confirm the total balance of highlights and low lights at a glance, thanks to Sony's Dynamic Contrast Drive. Backlight luminance adapts so you can easily review the balance of highlights and low lights. Enjoy better black representation during night scenes and clearer highlights in brighter, daylight filming. Access a dynamic contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1 with the press of a single function key by default (F12 key).
Black Detail 400/500/600/700 for HDR Production
Black Detail 400/500/600/700 is a function that creates the maximum backlight luminance of the X1800 limit to 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. The black luminance level is naturally decreased to 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. When selecting HDR EOTFs, you can monitor a deeper image shadow while displaying highlights in HDR at the same time. This feature is valuable for camera shading tasks in live productions, allowing precise control over camera iris and color settings. Importantly, it maintains consistent backlight luminance levels, even when the average picture levels fluctuate due to camera shading adjustments in every frame.
Quad View Display for Multiple Looks
Explore and compare settings, with a quad-view display that shows everything you need. Individual settings are available for EOTF (in SDR and HDR), SDI/HDMI, RGB/YCBCR, color space, transfer matrix, color temperature, contrast and brightness. Each display view can apply User 3D LUTs and it's even possible to display scopes in dual and triple picture modes.
