Yoke-mount and Wall-mount capability

There are also Wall-mount 100‑mm pitch holes on each monitor’s rear panel. The optional SU-561 monitor stand (available separately) providing height and tilt function is also available for this model.
Time code function

Enhanced Picture & Picture function*
The unique Picture & Picture function of the LMD-A220 allows simultaneous display of two input signals on the monitor’s screen. This function helps with colour adjustment and setting of camera frames. Various modes are available: side by side, wipe, blending, difference and auto input switching. This function works when synchronous SDI signals are input.
Sync-free side by side with low latency allows you to monitor two signals without synchronisation. You can configure each picture as HD or SD with different frame rates, taking them from both SDI and HDMI. This function works with the false colour function, camera focus function and metadata on the main picture of the two pictures.
* Supported with V2.0
Detachable handle
The monitor is equipped with a detachable handle for portable applications. It can be removed to reduce weight when installed in a monitor wall or when it is rack mounted.
Waveform monitor, vector scope and audio level meter display
An input signal’s waveform and vector scope with an SDI‑embedded 2-channel audio level meter can be displayed on screen. Both the waveform monitor and vector scope have various modes, including a zoom function (in an area of 0 to 20 IRE) with the waveform monitor, and a zoom function (in the central black area) with the vector scope, for adjusting white balance. The waveform of a specified line can also be displayed. In conjunction with the Picture & Picture function*, the waveform monitor and vector scope display can monitor two camera signals. In addition, an audio level meter can display the embedded audio signal from the SDI or HDMI input. It can display on screen the ch1 to ch8 or ch9 to ch16.
*Supported with V1.1
