Inputs

Rear

S VIDEO
1×S-Video (Y/C) (Mini-DIN-4, Stereo audio via RCA (connector))

Shares the input position with the VTR connector via the S VIDEO/VTR IN selector. Not fitted to all production runs.

CMPTR
1×RGBHV (DB-25, Mono audio via DB-25)

Analog RGB at 0.7 Vp-p, 75 ohms. Audio arrives on pin 13 of the same connector when pin 2 is held high.

CMPTR
1×RGBS (DB-25, Mono audio via DB-25)

The H sync pin also accepts composite sync at 1 Vp-p, 75 ohms.

CMPTR
1×TTL RGB (DB-25, Mono audio via DB-25)

Digital mode, selected by grounding pin 9. Pin 1 further selects IBM RGBI (with luminance on pin 25) or 3-bit TTL.

CMPTR
1×RGsB (DB-25, Mono audio via DB-25)

Sync on green is accepted at 1 Vp-p on the green line.

VTR
1×Composite (CVBS) (EIAJ-8, Stereo audio via EIAJ-8)

Sony 8-pin VTR connector carrying composite video and audio, internally 75-ohm terminated. A rear S VIDEO/VTR IN selector chooses between this and the S VIDEO connector.

LINE A
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC, Stereo audio via RCA (connector))

Loop-through to the LINE A VIDEO OUT / AUDIO OUT; a rear switch selects 75-ohm termination when the loop-through is unused.

LINE B
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC, Stereo audio via RCA (connector))

Loop-through to the LINE B VIDEO OUT / AUDIO OUT; a rear switch selects 75-ohm termination when the loop-through is unused.

Outputs

Rear

LINE A VIDEO OUT
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC)

Loop-through of the LINE A video input.

LINE B AUDIO OUT
1×Analog stereo (RCA (connector))

Loop-through of the LINE B audio input.

LINE A AUDIO OUT
1×Analog stereo (RCA (connector))

Loop-through of the LINE A audio input.

LINE B VIDEO OUT
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC)

Loop-through of the LINE B video input.

Edit this data

The Sony PVM-2030 is a 20-inch NTSC Trinitron professional video monitor, the smaller of a pair with the 25-inch PVM-2530; the two share a single operating manual and differ only in tube size and audio power. US and Canadian sets carry chassis number SCC-A85A-A. Its original list price was around $1,125.

The picture tube is a fine-pitch Trinitron (Sony part A51JKQ10X) with an approximately 50.6 cm visible diagonal, 100-degree deflection and a 0.55 mm aperture grille pitch. Sony rated it at 560 TV lines from the video inputs and 640 × 200 dots — about 2,000 characters — from the RGB input, with a 9300 K colour temperature and a video bandwidth of 6 MHz (−3 dB) on composite and 10 MHz on RGB. The line pull range is ±500 Hz horizontally and −8 Hz vertically, so the set is a fixed-frequency 15 kHz monitor rather than a multisync.

Features

The monitor's headline feature is its CMPTR input, a 25-pin DB-25 "multi connector" that accepts either analog or digital RGB from a microcomputer. Mode pins on the connector select between analog RGB (0.7 Vp-p, or 1 Vp-p with sync on green) and TTL-level digital RGB, and separately between IBM-style RGBI signalling and 3-bit TTL. Horizontal and vertical sync arrive on separate pins, but the horizontal pin also accepts composite sync. A blanking pin lets a composite source from LINE A/B or the VTR connector be superimposed over the computer picture.

Sony also fitted the set with New Dynamic Color, which raises the apparent colour temperature without turning skin tones unnatural by controlling RGB amplitude, and a Colorpure comb filter to suppress cross-colour on composite sources.

CONTROL S IN and OUT connectors allow several monitors and a VTR to be driven from a single RM-739 Remote Commander, which was supplied with the monitor. Rear-panel REMOTE CONTROL and MANUAL CONTROL switches independently enable or lock out the remote and the front-panel touch controls.

There is no built-in loudspeaker. Rear SPEAKER L/R terminals drive external 8–16 Ω speakers at 7 W + 7 W; Sony offered the SS-X6A and APM-X5A speaker systems and the SU-539 and SU-541 stands as options. A switched AC OUT socket supplies up to 100 W at 120 V for a connected computer.

Not every production run received the S VIDEO connector, so an individual PVM-2030 may have only composite and RGB inputs.
