LINE A
S-Video (Y/C) (Mini-DIN-4, Mono audio, audio shared w/ LINE A)
Y at 1 Vp-p negative sync into 75 ohms; chroma 286 mVp-p (NTSC) or 300 mVp-p (PAL) burst, Y-to-C delay within ±100 ns. Shares the LINE A audio jack.

The Sony PVM-14L5 is a 14-inch multiformat HR Trinitron professional video monitor, the smaller of a pair with the 20-inch PVM-20L5 with which it shares an operating manual and a service manual. US and Canadian sets carry chassis number SCC-G61K-A.[1][2]

The picture tube is an HR (High Resolution) Trinitron using SMPTE-C standard luminescent material, resolving more than 800 TV lines at the centre of the screen in 4:3 and 600 TV lines in 16:9.[2] Colour temperature can be set to D65, D93 or a USER preset adjustable between 5,000 K and 10,000 K.[2] Convergence error is specified at 0.4 mm or less in the centre and 0.5 mm or less at the periphery, with linearity of 4% or better on both axes and raster size stability of 1.0%.[2]

Frequency response is 50 Hz to 10 MHz (0 dB/−3 dB) on 575/50i and 480/60i component inputs and 48 Hz to 24 MHz for all other formats and for RGB.[2] Aperture compensation is switchable between off (0 dB) and 2–6 dB, centred at 5 MHz for standard-definition inputs and 16 MHz otherwise; it does not operate on RGB sources.[2]

Features

The 14L5 is a multiformat monitor rather than a fixed 15 kHz set: it locks to any horizontal frequency between 15 kHz and 45 kHz, covering the conventional NTSC and PAL colour systems plus 480/60i, 575/50i, 480/60P, 576/50P, 1080/48i, 1080/50i, 1035/60i, 1080/60i and 720/60P, and switches between 4:3 and 16:9 display.[2] The appropriate colour system is selected automatically between NTSC and PAL, and an auto chroma phase function trims the decoder's chroma and phase.[2]

A comb filter engages on NTSC composite for cleaner Y/C separation, and a beam-current feedback circuit holds white balance stable.[2] The CRT is degaussed automatically at power-on — with a user-settable delay in the menu — and manually with a front-panel DEGAUSS button, which is inhibited while the on-screen menu is displayed.[2]

Monitoring aids comprise a 5% underscan mode, an H/V delay mode and a blue-only mode. In underscan, faint RGB scanning lines may appear along the top edge; these come from an internal test signal rather than the source.[2] A built-in Caption Vision (closed caption) decoder superimposes English subtitles when caption data is present.[2] Settings can be locked against tampering through the KEY PROTECT menu.[2]

An input option slot in the rear panel accepts Sony BKM-series adaptor boards — among them the BKM-129X, BKM-142HD, BKM-150CP and BKM-155DV — to add input formats; the fan-cooled boards raise standard power consumption from 110 W to as much as 120 W.[2] Remote control is available both as a serial D-sub 9-pin loop-through and as an 8-pin modular parallel remote whose pins can be assigned in the Remote menu to input selection, red and green tally, external sync, underscan and 16:9 aspect.[2] The monitor mounts in an EIA 19-inch rack with the optional MB-521 bracket or SLR-104 slide rail.[2]
