Perfect color accuracy
is vital for broadcast, film and post-production environments.
That is why Barco, a global market leader in professional
displays, has developed the RHDM series, the most powerful
high-definition LCD reference monitors on the market today.
Belgian TV channel RTL TVI is one of the experts that has
recently chosen Barco's RHDM-1701 17” reference monitor
to evaluate the color accuracy of its broadcasts.
RTL TVI is one of the top TV channels in
French-speaking Belgium, reaching 3.9 million or 90% of all
targeted viewers via cable. Since its start in 1987, RTL TVI
has been using Barco monitors for camera shading, in monitor
walls, and for use in the graphics department. Replacing some
of the older models, RTL TVI has now selected Barco's RHDM-1701
as the high-definition reference monitor for camera shading
and as main program monitor in every control room.
Neutrality and quality
As the first true Grade-1 LCD reference
monitors, Barco's RHDM series brings professional color accuracy
to camera or lighting professionals, editors, colorists and
post-production staff. Anyone who is highly demanding about
colors will value the RHDM series' excellent performance.
Barco's high-definition reference monitor has been available
in a 23-inch version since 2008. A special 17-inch model,
especially suited for use in more confined spaces – including
OB vans and camera shading positions – followed in early
2010.
“The neutrality and quality of the
images were our main reasons to choose Barco's RHDM-1701,”
said Vincent Jeumont, Head of Systems and Projects at RTL
Belgium.
“Our directors of photography told us they can always
rely on the Barco monitors: if the picture looks good on a
Barco, it will also be okay on any other monitor and on TV.
Furthermore, we have a long term cooperation and collaboration
with Barco, giving all our operators the needed confidence
in the Barco brand.” RTL TVI also uses the 23-inch RHDM-2301
for camera evaluation, quality control and color grading in
the editing suite.
Exceeding CRT quality
“Since its launch in 2008, the RHDM
series has become the preferred reference monitor for professionals,
the world over,” says Goran Stojmenovik, Barco's Product
Manager LCD monitors. “It is the first line of LCD reference
monitors that can match (and even exceed) the color accuracy
of CRT displays, making them the perfect replacement for the
old models.
" The outstanding image quality of the RHDM series is
the result of several innovative technical features. Advanced
calibration and stabilization technology keep the colors lasting,
whereas the motion handling system prevents motion blur. A
native 10-bit panel, calibrated RGB-backlights and 48-bit
processing guarantee the highest color accuracy on the market.”
Many leading broadcasters and post-production
studios are already experiencing the quality of the RHDM series,
including ABC, MPC and Turner Broadcasting (USA), ZDF, RBB
and SWR (Germany), BBC, ITV and Technicolor Creative Services
(UK), VRT, GridVFX and VTM (Belgium), Digital Factory, Wizz
and Institut National de l' Audiovisuel (France), and many
more.
