HD/SD Multi-Format Compatibility
Wide Range of Broadcast Functions
The BT-LH series supports both HD and SD formats. The BT-LH1800
and BT-LH1500 are equipped with composite and Y/C inputs, with
optional inputs for component, SDI, and HD-SDI also available. The BT-
LH900 is equipped with component, composite, and two SDI inputs.
All models feature underscan, blue-only, and external remote (D-Sub 9-
pin) functions. BT-LH models also feature an HV delay function.
Magnetic Field Resistance, Minimal
Electrostatic Generation
170 Viewing Angle
LCD video monitors are virtually unaffected by the earth’s magnetic
field or fields generated by speakers and other peripherals, so there
are preventing color streaking. There’s no need to take anti-magnetic
measures when grouping several monitors. And because these
monitors generate minimal static electricity, their screens remain
virtually dust-free.
High-brightness, high-contrast horizontal alignment (IPS) LCD panels
give BT-LH monitors a best-in-the industry 170 viewing angle, both
vertically and horizontally. This minimizes color variation and ensures
sharp, easy-to-see images when the monitor is viewed from different
angles.
*BT-LS1400 have a 160 viewing angle.
Long-Life Backlight (approx. 50,000 hours)
viewing angle of BT-LH series
170
The monitors’ LCD panel suffers virtually no performance degradation.
The backlight has a service life of about 50,000 hours — or around 8.5
years when used 16 hours a day. You’re assured many long years of
bright viewing.
*Actual service life varies with usage conditions.
*The BT-LS1400 backlight has a service life of around 60,000 hours.

Energy-Saving Design
Thin, Light and Compact — Easy Layout
These LCD monitors consume far less power than CRT monitors. They
save electricity in other ways, too. For example, LCD monitors
generate little heat, so less air conditioning is needed. These energy
savings mean lower electric bills and less impact on the environment.
A key advantage of these LCD monitors are their thin profile and light
weight. BT series monitors can be rack-mounted in a studio or OB van,
saving substantial space and reducing weight in mobile vehicles.
When a BT series monitor is used in a non-linear editing system or for
other desktop use, VESA brackets and arm stands allow unrestricted
layout. This makes it easy to find the optimum positioning and angle
adjustment.

18" HD/SD Multi-Format LCD Monitor
High-Performance LCD Monitors
HD/SD Multi-Format Input
for Broadcasting and Professional Usage
Each monitor is equipped for NTSC or PAL input (composite x 2,
Y/C x 1). Adding an optional plug-in board provides compatibility with
HD SDI, SD SDI, and analog component/RGB input as well as giving
you a single unit that handles virtually all HD/SD formats.
(See specifications for format compatibility.)
Designed to meet exacting broadcasting and professional needs,
Panasonic’s new high-performance LCD monitors combine the
industry’s widest viewing angle ---170 , both vertically and horizontally
--- with outstanding resolution, color reproduction,
and gradation. Two sizes, 18" and 15", fit a variety of applications.
Rack and VESA Mounting
Thin, Light, Compact
Optional brackets enable fast and easy EIA rack mounting. VESA
brackets are also included for a variety of mounting configurations, such
as commercially-available VESA wall mounting and arm stand use.
Compact in size and only 3 7/16"(86mm) deep (without option), these
ultra-thin LCD monitors give you greater freedom in setup locations and
methods.
They’re light in weight , a major advantage for ENG and EFP use.
Manual Controls
The BT-LH1800 and BT-LH1500 come with all the controls you need for
production and broadcasting tasks. You can adjust contrast, brightness,
phase, and chroma using manual controls.Because these and other
controls are standardized from conventional broadcast monitors,
operation is easy and intuitive.
Remote
Each monitor is equipped with a GPI remote terminal for versatile
remote control over a variety of functions.
