Digital Intelligence in Professional Broadcast Monitors

Today's professional TV monitors are quite simple and almost standardized in their controls and alignment possibilities. However, alignment of monitors to show identical pictures {over a long period) and resetting to previously used control values are still difficult and time-consuming. This article describes a professional television monitor concept in which a microprocessor controls not only color alignment but all monitor functions, such as input selection, contrast and brightness settings, decoder functions, and internal test signals. The CVS monitor, an example of such a concept, is described, and possibilities emerging from total digital control are noted. This monitor will have a marked influence on the emergence of new production methods, studio organization, and studio procedures.
