Stylish Design
These innovative two-piece type Sony LCD monitors consist of a thin,
lightweight LCD monitor unit and highly functional signal-processing 
unit with many inputs and outputs.  Because they are separate 
units, the LCD monitor is not weighed down by the circuitry of 
the signal-processing Multiformat Engine Unit (MEU). Consequently,
its design is as thin and as light as possible – resulting in outstanding
installation flexibility.
When attached to the optional monitor stand SU-558, which has a
biaxial joint in the neck assembly, the LMD-170W and LMD-230W
can be positioned at various heights and tilt angles – meeting a wide
range of application needs.

Input Versatility
Multi-Format Signal Support 
The MEU-WX1 accepts a wide range of analog and digital signals
such as NTSC, PAL, 480/60I, 575/50I, 480/60P, 576/50P, 1080/50I,
1080/60I, and 720/60P.  It also accepts 1080/24PsF, converting it
into 1080/48I and 1080/25PsF converted in 1080/50I.
It can accept one analog video signal from the following inputs,
which is then output with loop-through:
1. Analog component (GBR) input 
2. Analog component (Y/P
B
/P
R
) input 
3. Composite (CVBS) and Y/C (S-Y, S-C) input *

The MEU-WX1 also accepts one signal input from various types of
analog computer signals. Incorporating a high-performance scan
converter, it can accept input signals from VGA to SXGA*

*1 Y/C input signals must be input via BNC connectors that are converted from 
S-Video connectors.
*2 SXGA images are downconverted for display.
Signal-Interface Options
The MEU-WX1 can receive HDSDI/SDI, SDI or DV signals via the
following newly designed small-sized optional input adaptors:
SDI 4:2:2 Input Adaptor
BKM-220D
• SDI signal input (x2)   • Monitor output (x1)
• Power consumption: 1.5 W
HD/D1-SDI Input Adaptor
BKM-243HS
• HD SDI/SDI signal input (x2)   • Monitor output (x1)
• Power consumption: 2 W
HD SDI and SDI signals are automatically detected.
DV Input Adaptor
BKM-255DV
• DV signal port* (x 2)    • Transfer rate: 400 Mbps
• Power consumption: 4 W
The BKM-255DV accepts and outputs DV signals. However it
does not accept the full AV/C command sets.
*The port has a 6-pin connector. And power is not supplied through this port.
Computer Signal Memory 
The MEU-WX1 includes sufficient memory for 16 preset computer
input signals.   
Smart APA (Auto Pixel Alignment) for Computer Input
Image size can be automatically adjusted to their optimal settings
with the one-touch APA key.

Flexibility
Seven-Language On-Screen Display
The On-Screen Display is available in English, French, Spanish,
German, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese.
Color Temperature/Gamma Selection
High/low color temperatures or user presets can be selected.  
Selectable Scan Size for Video Input and Aspect Ratio
The screen size can be selected between 5% over-scan and 0% 
inscan modes.
The aspect ratio can be switched between 16:9 and 4:3 according to
input signals.
Various Markers
The following marker functions are available: safety area marker, 4:3
marker, 2.35:1 marker, and 4:3 & 1.85:1 box marker - convenient for
movie makers.
Three-Color Tally
The tally lamp can be lit up via a parallel remote connector, and the sta-
tus of the monitor can be identified by the tally color – red, green, or
amber.
