The Sony BVM-X300/2 30inch 4K Trimaster EL OLED Master Monitor gives users more flexibility and more features for HDR and 4K production applications. Featuring version 2 firmware, including additional HDR EOTC and function support, a new hardware with an HDMI input for each connection to cameras or Blu-ray players and a second 3G/HD-SDI 4K input for simpler system integration.
Additionally, the BVM-X300/2 firmware update delivers new functionality for HDR production, including:
- Ultimate HDR Master monitor for high-end monitoring applications
- Full 4K picture resolution (4096x2160px)
- High Dynamic Range including new EOTF: ITU-R BT.2100 HLG and S-Log3 (Live HDR)
- Multi-format capability from Full HD to 4K
- Support DCI P3 and ITU-R BT.2020 wide colour spaces
- Additional HDMI and 4K 3G-SDI inputs
- New relative contrast settings for HDR production
- Hybrid Log Gamma HDR EOTF setting supporting the new ITU-R BT.2100 standard
- New EOTF called S-Log 3 (Live HDR) supports easier camera control for live production
- New one-touch relative contrast modes (1/2, 1/3 and 1/4), allowing display of HDR images with higher peak luminance
- Faster access to the status menu page (Colour space, EOTF, User Preset and more)

High Dynamic Range mode
In addition to the intrinsic high-contrast performance of the TRIMASTER EL™ OLED panel, this monitor provides High Dynamic Range mode. This offers never-seen-before image reproduction – the black is black, and peak brightness can be reproduced more realistically with colours that are typically saturated in a conventional standard dynamic range. This mode can brilliantly express sparkling town lights and stars in the night sky.

Supports DCI P3 and ITU-R BT.2020 wide colour spaces
The BVM X300 offers industry leading wide colour gamuts. It complies with the DCI P3 colour gamut and supports the ITU R BT.2020 colour space. S GAMUT3.cine* and S GAMUT3* colour space are also supported to achieve coherent cinematography production workflow with Sony’s 4K cinematography cameras.
* The BVM-X300 does not support the ITU-R BT.2020, S-Gamut/S-Gamut3 and S-Gamut3.cine colour space in full.

HDMI(HDCP2.2) and 3G-SDI Quad-link up to 4096 x 2160/48p 50p 60p, YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit
This master monitor supports HDMI and both 2 Sample Interleave (2SI) and Square Division signals on SDI. HDMI support HD signals and 4K/UHD signals up to 50p 60p YCbCr 4:2:2 12-bit. It also supports HD signals including 3G-SDI single link for 1920 x 1080/50p 60p, YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit, and 3G-SDI dual link for 1920 x 1080/50p 60p, 4:4:4 12/10-bit. 3G/HD-SDI Quad link and Dual link are supported for 4K/UHD and 3G/HD-SDI Single link and Dual link are supported for 2K/HD. XYZ signals as well as RGB and Y/CB/CR are supported.

Accurate black and colour reproduction
A key advantage of TRIMASTER EL is the fact that each pixel can be turned completely off. No other display technology is able to offer this. TRIMASTER EL is capable of reproducing accurate black with each individual pixel, enabling users to evaluate each picture image faithfully to the signal.
-
Quick Response with Virtually No Motion Blur
The TRIMASTER EL gray-to-gray switching speed (measured in microseconds, μs) is much faster than that of the LCD (measured in milliseconds, ms).* This fast response benefits a variety of applications and uses.
* Sony’s test results.
-
Extremely wide viewing angle
Sony BVM-X300 OLED TRIMASTER EL provides a superior viewing angle performance as compared to other flat panel technology available on the market. It makes easier to evaluate picture performance with a few viewers to see the same colours and contrast.
-
Sony S-Log Gamma, SMPTE ST 2084 and HLG Support
The BVM-X300 supports conventional 2.2, 2.4, 2.6, and CRT gamma. In addition, HDR (High Dynamic Range) EOTF tables are provided for 2.4 (HDR), SMPTE ST 2084, S-Log2 (HDR), S-Log3 (HDR), SMPTE ST.2084 (HDR), HLG SG 1.2 (HDR) and HLG SG Variable (HDR). S-Log3(Live HDR) offers easier camera control for High Dynamuic Range (HDR) live production.
-
Flicker free mode
The TRIMASTER EL OLED panel’s superb quick response and scan-driving performance deliver stunning picture quality with virtually no motion blur. However, there is a possibility that flicker is just visible when a lower frequency signal is displayed (24p, 24PsF, and 50i). To remove visible flicker, the BVM-X300 is equipped with Flicker-free mode.
-
Interlace mode
The BVM-X300 monitor offers an Interlace Display feature for 1080i input. This enables input to be presented as a true interlace display. As with the Native Scan function, Interlace Display mode offers faithful reproduction of the input signal, and the displayed interlace fields are free from the picture degradation that can occur as a result of typical I/P conversion processes.
-
Safe area and aspect markers
The BVM-X300 monitor can display various markers, including an aspect marker, safe area marker, and center marker. In addition to this flexible selection of marker types, detailed display settings of each marker are offered. For example, the colour, brightness, horizontal/vertical position, and width of aspect markers can all be controlled, while the height and width of safe area markers can be adjusted.
