Controlling monitor groups
Up to 32 monitors can be controlled from the BVM-
14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E. First, using the monitor
menus, assign a monitor address number to each
monitor, divide the monitors into groups, and assign a
group number to each group. Then you can use the
BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E to control
individual monitors or monitor groups simply by
entering monitor address or group numbers. You can
also execute the same operation on all connected
monitors, or use the BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/
14E5E to put all connected monitors into the same
setup and adjustment state.
Setup and adjustment with the monitor
memory card
You can use an optional BKM-12Y Monitor Memory
Card to save and load monitor setup and adjustment
data. If your system includes more than one monitor,
you can use the monitor memory cards to exchange
data between monitors. This makes it easy to put all
monitors in your system into the same setup and
adjustment state.
Standard auto alignment system
Decoder chroma and phase adjustment, as well as
color temperature control, may be performed with the
auto alignment system. This makes it possible to
coordinate settings among multiple monitors.

®1) Expandable input capability
The input connector configuration may be easily
modified by simply sliding optional decoder adaptors
or input expansion adaptors into input option slots at
the rear of the monitor. The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/
14E5U/14E5E may be fitted with up to four adaptors.
4:3/16:9 dual aspect ratio design
The BVM-14F5U/14F5E/14E5U/14E5E can be
changed to either 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio with just a
simple switching operation. The screen can be also
changed to 4:3 or 16:9 display by the replacement of a
mask (no tools required).
Stable color temperature
The internal beam current feedback circuit maintains a
constant color temperature over long periods of time.
Blue-only mode convenient for monitoring
noise
All three CRT cathodes can be driven with a blue
signal, producing a monochrome display. This mode
is convenient for chroma and phase adjustment, and
for monitoring VTR noise.
Menu operation
The monitor's various functions and operating
conditions can be set with on-screen menus.
