23-inch* full resolution LCD panel, a precision backlight system, and a unique professional display engine not found in any other monitor. This has resulted in the highly reliable BVM-L230, which offers the accurate colour reproduction, precision imaging and quality picture consistency required by today’s most demanding master monitoring applications.
Input Versatility The BVM-L230 can accept almost any SD or HD video format, both analogue and digital, plus PC signals from VGA to WUXGA (1920 x 1200). In addition to a DVI-D interface equipped as standard, four option board slots are offered to configure the BVM-L230 according to different user needs.

Professional Display Engine The high-precision signal processing engine has been developed to fulfill master monitor criteria and is optimised for use on the BVM-L230. This engine incorporates 12-bit output accuracy at each process and provides a high-quality I/P conversion algorithm and a highly accurate colour man- agement system.
Like the earlier BVM Series, the monitor and control panel are provided as separate units, allowing greater flexibility in system integration. The BVM-L230 incorporates a new Monitor Control Unit, the BKM-16R, which can be attached below the monitor using the optional Controller Attachment Stand, the BKM-37H, or connected remotely via an Ethernet cable.
