JVC UHD/4K Monitors for Broadcast and Live Production

JVC Professional Video will unveil two new 31-inch UHD / 4K LCD monitors to take on today’s growing 4K workflows at this year’s NAB Show. The NAB Show will be held October 17-18 at the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York City.

LCD monitor JVC DT-U31

Ideal for critical video applications in the studio and on location, the affordable monitors feature 10-bit panels and 14-bit color processing to ensure high-quality image processing and display. The DT-U31, which was introduced earlier this year, offers UHD (3840×2160) resolution, while the DT-U31PRO offers full native DCI 4K (4096×2160) resolution.

Both monitors support HDR functions, including Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) and PQ-3 formats, and a range of camera log LUTs including JVC’s S-Log, C-Log and J-Log. Color gamut support includes BT709 and BT2020, with automatic calibration possible via an external X-Rite sensor probe. Calibration can be performed directly from the front panel USB connection, so there is no need to remove the monitor from your installation.

A new zero-latency image processing mode creates minimal delay, which is ideal for lip-sync monitoring. Both monitors include 12G SDI or quad 3G HD-SDI input, as well as HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 for 4K input support. Users can also display four independent SDI sources in quad display mode for broadcast monitoring applications, and additional connectivity options are available for legacy sources.

Other features include:

Convenient front panel controls with dual speakers, AC/DC power with integrated battery port and on-screen tools including 16-channel audio meters, waveform monitor, vectorscope with line selector and histogram. The new DT-U models also include an expansion slot for future options, including a fiber to SFP adapter.
