Features
Lightweight and compact with lower power consumption
The LMD-A series monitors offer a design that is uniquely light and compact. Their weight is reduced by 12%
to 22%, and depth by more than 30%, compared with predecessor models. Power consumption for these
models is reduced by more than 25%. Users appreciate these convenient, cost-saving qualities.
•
Optimised low-latency I/P conversion
The I/P conversion system delivers automatically optimised signal processing according to input signals with
low-latency (less than 0.5 field). This system helps users to edit and monitor for a live production.
•
Video input versatility
The LMD-A170 monitor is equipped with built-in standard input interfaces: 3G/HD/SD-SDI (x2), HDMI (HDCP)
input (x1) and composite (x1).
•
Computer input versatility
Multiple computer signals can be received via an HDMI/DVI interface; the resolution range is from 640 x 480
to 1680 x 1050 pixels.
•
In-Monitor Display (IMD) function
With an external remote function via Ethernet, image source names and tally information can be displayed
on screen. LMD-A Series monitors support the TSL system protocol. The IMD system can display European
language text including umlaut and accent marks.

Waveform monitor, vector scope and audio level meter display
An input signal’s waveform and vector scope with an SDI‑embedded 2-channel audio level meter can be
displayed on screen. Both the waveform monitor and vector scope have various modes, including a zoom
function (in an area of 0 to 20 IRE) with the waveform monitor, and a zoom function (in the central black
area) with the vector scope, for adjusting white balance. The waveform of a specified line can also be
displayed. In conjunction with the Picture & Picture function*, the waveform monitor and vector scope
display can monitor two camera signals. In addition, an audio level meter can display the embedded audio
signal from the SDI or HDMI input. It can display on screen the ch1 to ch8 or ch9 to ch16.

•
Optional protection kit (BKM-PL17)
This accessory provides an AR-coated protection panel for the 17-inch monitor, along with corner bumpers
to safeguard the monitor from scratches and impact. The benefit of this is significant when renting out these
monitors – for example, panel damage is reduced and there is a far lower incidence of panel replacement
and downtime during rental cycles.
* Optional protection kit cannot be mounted together with the rack mount kit.
•
Yoke-mount and VESA-mount capability
The monitor includes screw holes on its side bezels for yoke mounting. This type of mounting is convenient
when installing a monitor to a camera crane or monitor stand. There are also VESA-mount 100‑mm pitch
holes on each monitor’s rear panel. The optional SU-561 monitor stand (available separately) providing
height and tilt function is also available for this model.
•
User-friendly operability and user interface
The monitor has a number of additional features, including: Time Code display (LTC/VITC-supported); safety
