The card can accept an SDI signal and can automatically detect HDSDI or SDI signals. In addition, the monitor features 10-bit signal processing that provides accurate lifelike images with smooth and natural gradation. It minimizes color shift and displays accurate color reproduction with consistent color temperature throughout the grayscale. The LMD-1950MD achieves a high horizontal resolution exceeding 700 TV lines, providing extremely precise and detailed images that are essential during endoscopic procedures, for example. The monitor incorporates an extremely bright LCD panel with a 5:4 aspect ratio, 1280 x 1024 SXGA native resolution, and accept a variety of signals ranging from SD to HD video, analog VGA to SXGA, and includes three PC inputs, as well as DVI-D.
