Sony BVM-L230 - Manual (Page 10)

Butterfly
The two inputs are displayed as line-symmetric
images on the left and right halves of the screen.
By controlling the H position, the two images can be
moved inward to the middle of the screen. Instant
comparisons can be made without having to move
one’s eyes. This makes comparison of moving
images very easy.
Blending
The two picture images are overlapped for display. The
mix ratio is adjustable. This function is useful when
verifying whether a foreground signal is accurately
keyed into the background signal, or when combining
shoots with live action and computer-generated effects.
Side by Side
The two picture images are downscaled using a
digital filter and displayed side by side. This feature is
convenient when making white balance
adjustments and/or determining shooting angles
between two cameras.
Picture & Picture (Side by Side, Butterfly, Wipe, and Blending)

The unique Picture & Picture function of the BVM-L230
allows simultaneous display of two input signals on its
LCD screen. This function is extremely convenient for
making instant adjustments between two input sources,
since there is no need to individually adjust the different
characteristics of two monitors. This function comes in
handy for adjustments between two cameras,
special-effects creation, time-lapse shooting, and
computer-generated graphics work. The BVM-L230
offers four Picture & Picture modes:
Operational Convenience
The optional BKM-16R control unit has a Memory Stick ®
slot* to save and load monitor setup and adjustment
data. In multiple monitor systems, this allows data to
be exchanged between units so that the same setup
and adjustment status can instantly be reproduced.
This data can also be transferred via the BVM’s
Ethernet connection.
* Both standard-size Memory Stick media and the smaller Memory Stick
Duo™/Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media can be used.
A Memory Stick Duo adaptor is not required.
Copy Function
WIPE
The area of the two pictures to be displayed is selected
using a vertical WIPE pattern, which is controlled from
the BKM-16R. This function is useful when picture details
of the two images must be examined on a pixel basis.
This is normally used when looking at still images.
