The Sony PVM-1954Q is a 19-inch multi-standard professional video monitor introduced in 1994. It is the large sibling of the 13-inch PVM-1354Q and PVM-1351Q, sharing their manual, control layout and connector complement.[1]

Its HR (High Resolution) Trinitron tube — Sony part M49KGH20X, 0.4 mm aperture grille pitch, 90-degree deflection[2] — resolves more than 600 TV lines at the centre of the picture and carries SMPTE-C phosphor.[1] Convergence is specified at 0.7 mm typical in the central area and 1.3 mm at the periphery, and high-voltage regulation at 4.0 %.[1] Video bandwidth is 6.0 MHz (−3 dB) on composite and 10.0 MHz on RGB.[1]

Colour system selection across PAL, SECAM, NTSC and NTSC 4.43 is automatic, and an NTSC comb filter is fitted.[1]

Features

The front panel provides blue-only mode, underscan (3 % underscan against 7 % overscan in normal scan), horizontal/vertical delay, external sync selection, and automatic degaussing on power-up alongside a manual DEGAUSS button. On-screen menus in five languages cover colour temperature — two fixed presets plus a USER setting adjustable from 3200 K to 10000 K, factory set to 6500 K — and chroma setup.[1]

All video inputs are loop-through pairs whose internal 75-ohm termination releases automatically when a cable is plugged into the corresponding output.[1] The RGB/COMPONENT BNC trio takes either analog RGB or Betacam R-Y/Y/B-Y component, syncing to the green/Y channel or to a reference on the separate EXT SYNC IN connector.[1]

A 20-pin REMOTE connector carries tally and remote-control signals.[1] An optional SDI kit adds a serial digital input and raises power consumption from about 115 W to about 125 W.[1] An SLR-103 bracket mounts the monitor in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.[1]
