Inputs

Rear

RGB/Component
1×Component (YPbPr) (BNC, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

R-Y/Y/B-Y on the same BNC trio as RGB. Component needs a service-menu phase adjustment on the Pr channel.

Line A
1×S-Video (Y/C) (Mini-DIN-4, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

Loop-through with automatic 75-ohm termination. Takes priority over the Line A composite input when both are connected.

RGB/Component
1×RGBS (BNC, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

Sync is supplied on the external sync BNC — 4.0 Vp-p ±6 dB composite, or 0.6 Vp-p ±6 dB tri-level.

Line A
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

1.0 Vp-p +3/-6 dB, sync negative, loop-through with automatic 75-ohm termination.

RGB/Component
1×RGsB (BNC, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

R/R-Y, G/Y and B/B-Y at 0.7 Vp-p +3/-6 dB with 0.3 Vp-p sync on green.

Line B
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC, Mono audio via RCA (connector))

1.0 Vp-p, sync negative, loop-through with automatic 75-ohm termination.

Outputs

Rear

Audio Out
2×Analog mono (RCA (connector))

-5 dBu into 47 kilohms or higher.

Line A/B VIDEO OUT
2×Composite (CVBS) (BNC)

Loop-through of the Line A and Line B composite inputs.

Line A Y/C OUT
1×S-Video (Y/C) (Mini-DIN-4)

Loop-through of the Line A Y/C input.

Ext. sync OUT
1×Composite (CVBS) (BNC)

Loop-through of the external sync input, automatic 75-ohm termination.

RGB/Component OUT
1×RGsB (BNC)

Loop-through of the R/R-Y, G/Y, B/B-Y inputs.

The Sony PVM-14L2 is a 14-inch professional video monitor from Sony's L-series, launched in 2002 alongside the 20-inch PVM-20L2 and 9-inch PVM-9L2. The L-series was the last line of professional CRT monitors Sony produced, built on a chassis redesigned from the preceding M-series.

Its Trinitron tube (Sony part M34KBE11X) has a 0.25 mm aperture grille pitch, P-22 phosphor and 90-degree deflection, giving an effective picture of 267.5 × 200.6 mm — a 340 mm (13.4-inch) diagonal — and 600 TV lines of resolution. Convergence is specified at 0.4 mm typical at centre and 0.5 mm at the periphery, linearity under 4 % in both axes, and high-voltage regulation at 3.5 %.

The monitor is a fixed-frequency 15 kHz design, locking to 15.734 kHz for NTSC and 15.625 kHz for PAL, with 7 % overscan in normal scan and 5 % underscan in underscan mode. Colour temperature offers D65, D93 and a user-adjustable setting.

Unlike the M-series, the L-series takes a universal 100–240 V supply at 50/60 Hz. The 14L2 draws 75 W, or 86 W with a BMK-150CP option fitted.

Features

All video inputs are loop-through pairs with automatic 75-ohm termination. Line A carries both a composite BNC and a Y/C mini-DIN, with the Y/C input taking priority over composite when both are connected; Line B is composite only. The RGB/Component BNC trio accepts analog RGB with 0.3 Vp-p sync on green or R-Y/Y/B-Y component, and the external sync BNC accepts a 4.0 Vp-p composite reference or a 0.6 Vp-p tri-level sync signal.

A single option slot takes Sony BKM-series cards — SDI input, or the BKM-129X for an extra RGB input, which is scarce enough that reverse-engineered aftermarket copies are sold. Remote control is over an assignable 8-pin modular parallel remote connector. Audio output is 0.8 W with under 5 % distortion.

Two quirks are worth knowing: the on-screen menu will sometimes refuse to display while the monitor is scanning 240p, and component input needs a service-menu adjustment to correct a phase error on the Pr signal.
