The broadcast picture monitors will make their European exhibition premiere at IBC 2024.
Ikegami has introduced two new broadcast-quality picture monitors, the 24-inch HLM-2460WA and the 18.5-inch HLM-1860WR, which will make their European exhibition premiere at IBC 2024 in Amsterdam from September 13th to 16th.
Speaking about the monitors, Gisbert Hochguertel, Ikegami Europe Product Specialist said: “Both monitors are optimised for 1920 x 1080 HD which continues to be the most popular resolution for routine broadcast production and transmission. Building on the features and performance of its HLM-2460W predecessor, the 24-inch HLM-2460WA reproduces more accurate dynamics of the source images thanks to a 1920 x 1200 native pixel IPS LCD panel with 1,800:1 contrast ratio and 400 nits peak brightness. It is designed for use in broadcast environments such as edit suites where a computer-friendly WUXGA display resolution is preferred, and for integration into monitor walls.”
The HLM-2460WA includes production features such as picture-in-picture, side-by-side video display, preset and operator-configurable onscreen markers, red/green/yellow tally, dynamic and static under-monitor displays, closed caption and vertical interval timecode display, user-selectable test signals, waveform monitoring, vectorscope display tools, image and test signal mix, dot-by-dot display and 2x and 4x zoom. Its audio capabilities feature SDI audio de-embedding, eight-channel audio level metering, and 5.1-channel surround-sound down-mix output.
Optional automatic calibration software ensures consistent colour reproduction throughout the monitor’s lifespan, aligning R/G/B gain levels for correct white balance using colourimeters from JETI Specbos, Klein Instruments or Konica Minolta. The HLM-2460WA can be controlled remotely via Ethernet, RS-485, or GPIO, or directly from its front panel. It also supports high dynamic range options, including HLG1, HLG2 and S-Log3 HDR EOTF, alongside conventional gamma.
The HLM-1860WR, another new addition, is a 1920 x 1080 pixel native HD multi-format monitor with an 18.5-inch IPS LCD panel, larger than its predecessor, the HLM-1760WR, but housed within the same 19-inch rack-width 7 U high frame. It offers a 1,000:1 contrast ratio and 500 nits peak brightness, making it suitable for outdoor environments. Shared features with the HLM-2460WA include user-definable reference marker lines or boxes created using a USB mouse, eight channels of SDI-embedded audio metering, and seamless tally integration via Ethernet with the TSL V5.0 protocol. The HLM-1860WR operates on just 48 watts of mains power or 43.2 watts of 12-volt DC battery power, with dimensions of 440 x 301 x 80 mm.
