Sony strengthens BVM-X300 4K OLED Master Monitor with enforced capabilities

The BVM-X300 V2 firmware update also delivers new display functionality for HDR production, including:
·         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 (Color space, EOTF, User Preset and more)

Since the BVM-X300’s release in early 2015, it has been adopted by major post-production houses for color grading and used for monitoring and quality control on the sets of television shows and films. “This monitor has become the de facto reference standard for 4K and HDR grading in the post-production suite, and it’s also making its way on set and into mobile production,” said Daniel Dubreuil, Senior Product Marketing Manager for Professional Monitors. “These new updates make the BVM-X300 even more adaptable as demand for production requirements grows increasingly.”

Revised price of the new version of BVM-X300 will be announced separately.
Current BVM-X300 owners who want to add the HDMI and second SDI inputs on their monitor will need to contact a Sony service center. Implementation will require hardware and software modifications at chargeable cost. The alternative to upgrade V2 firmware only is also possible.
