Panasonic will expand its 3D line with a 25.5-inch monitor

The new BT-3DL2550 monitor is an LCD especially designed for stereoscopic production. It will offer a 3D display with true-to-life colors on a durable LCD panel with a resolution of 1920 x 1200, with a choice of six color modes (SMPTE, EBU, ITU-R BT.709, Adobe 2.2, Adobe 1.8 and D-Cinema) and LUTs for three-dimensional calibration.

Panasonic ha anunciado el nuevo monitor BT-3DL2550 de 25,5 pulgadas para ámbitos profesionales de producción estereográfica. Contará con una pantalla 3D con colores fieles a la realidad en un panel LCD duradero con un filtro polarizado Xpol, pudiéndose así utilizar con sistemas pasivos de gafas 3D. Una característica interesante es que permitirá conmutar directamente entre la imagen derecha e izquierda estereoscópicas en una configuración de doble ventana de lado a lado o arriba-abajo.

The BT-3DL2550 will offer exceptional quality color reproduction in the same vein as Panasonic's popular BT-LH2550 LCD. Equipped with in-Plane Switching (IPS) and a 10-bit processing circuit, this monitor will offer a resolution of 1920 x 1200 with exceptional clarity and can choose between six color modes (SMPTE, EBU, ITU-R BT.709, Adobe 2.2, Adobe 1.8 and D-Cinema) and LUT for three-dimensional calibration. In addition, it will support 1080i, 1080p and 720p, offering pixel-to-pixel functionality in 720p mode.

El BT-3DL2550 estará equipado con dos entradas HD/SD-SDI a fin de poder mostrar tanto la imagen derecha como izquierda en estereoscopía, soportando así señales libe-by-line o side-by-side gracias a la entrada DVI-D. También contará con entradas HD/SD-SDI, componentes y RGB, así como estándar RS-232C (9 pines) y GPI (9 pines) para entradas remotas, jack para auriculares, y tally verde y rojo en el propio frontal. El nuevo monitor soportará audio embebido (a través del jack de los cascos), display para código de tiempos, closed caption (a través de la entrada de vídeo únicamente) y vúmetros en pantalla para niveles de audio de hasta ocho canales.

The 3D monitor can be connected directly to Panasonic Full HD 3D camcorders as well as other 3D cameras via HD-SDI inputs. Likewise, you can work in direct connection with non-linear editing systems such as IQ and Pablo from Quantel using two HD-SDI (simultaneous signal) or Final Cut Pro via DVI-D (line-by-line signal).

It will also include pre-installed calibration software, Film-Rec cine-gamma compensation, standard and Blue-only markers, H/V delay display, monochrome and Cross Hatch on the screen itself, as well as five customizable buttons on the front that can be assigned with a single touch to different settings or modes.

Although Panasonic has not yet made its price public, we do know that it will be on the market coinciding with IBC.
