• The screen and the cabinet become warm during  
operation. This is not a malfunction.  
Precaution  
On Burn-in  
On Safety  
Due to the characteristics of the material used in the  
OLED panel for its high-precision images, permanent  
burn-in may occur if still images are displayed in the  
same position on the screen continuously, or repeatedly  
over extended periods.  
• Operate the unit only with a power source as specified  
in the “Specifications” section.  
• A nameplate indicating operating voltage, etc., is  
located on the bottom.  
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,  
unplug the unit and have it checked by qualified  
personnel before operating it any further.  
• Do not drop or place heavy objects on the power cord.  
If the power cord is damaged, turn off the power  
immediately. It is dangerous to use the unit with a  
damaged power cord.  
Images that may cause burn-in  
• Masked images with aspect ratios other than 16:9  
• Color bars or images that remain static for a long time  
• Character or message displays that indicate settings or  
the operating state  
• On-screen displays such as center markers or safety  
zones  
• Unplug the unit from the wall outlet if it is not to be  
used for several days or more.  
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet by  
grasping the plug, not by pulling the cord.  
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment  
and shall be easily accessible.  
To reduce the risk of burn-in  
• Turn off the character and marker displays  
Press the MENU button to turn off the character  
displays. To turn off the character or marker displays  
of the connected equipment, operate the connected  
equipment accordingly. For details, refer to the  
operation manual of the connected equipment.  
• Turn off the power when not in use  
On Installation  
Turn off the power if the viewfinder is not to be used  
for a prolonged period of time.  
• Allow adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat  
build-up.  
Do not place the unit on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.)  
or near materials (curtains, draperies) that may block  
the ventilation holes.  
• Do not install the unit in a location near heat sources  
such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to  
direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration  
or shock.  
Screen saver  
This product has a built-in screen saver function to  
reduce burn-in. When an almost still image is displayed  
for more than 10 minutes, the screen saver starts  
automatically and the brightness of the screen decreases.  
On a Long Period of Use  
Handling the Screen  
Due to an OLED's panel structure and characteristics of  
materials in its design, displaying static images for  
extended periods, or using the unit repeatedly in a high  
temperature/high humidity environments may cause  
image smearing, burn-in, areas of which brightness is  
permanently changed, lines, or a decrease in overall  
brightness.  
• The panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high  
precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio  
of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of  
pixels may be “stuck”, either always off (black),  
always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In  
addition, over a long period of use, because of the  
physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display,  
such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These  
problems are not a malfunction.  
• Do not leave the screen facing the sun as it can damage  
the screen. Take care when you place the unit by a  
window.  
• Do not push or scratch the monitor’s screen. Do not  
place a heavy object on the monitor’s screen. This  
may cause the screen to lose uniformity.  
In particular, continued display of an image smaller than  
the monitor screen, such as in a different aspect ratio,  
may shorten the life of the unit.  
Avoid displaying a still image for an extended period, or  
using the unit repeatedly in a high temperature/high  
humidity environment such an airtight room, or around  
the outlet of an air conditioner.  
5
Precaution  
 
           
To prevent any of the above issues, we recommend  
reducing brightness slightly, and to turn off the power  
whenever the unit is not in use.  
On Mounting on a Rack

Precaution  
 
             
Multi-format  
The monitor supports video, HDMI , SDI (3G/HD/SD)  
signals and NTSC/PAL color systems.  
1)  
Features  
The PVM-740 Professional Video Monitor is a 7.4 type  
OLED panel monitor for broadcast or business use,  
featuring a precise image and high performance.  
This not only achieves high quality picture by the OLED  
panel but is also small and lightweight, and accepts a  
variety of input signals, making it useful in a variety of  
applications, such as an indoor/outdoor shooting, live  
production, editing, research and development.  
1)  
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia  
Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI  
Licensing LLC.  
Color space function  
Sony's “ChromaTru” technology brings to you  
broadcast standard (ITU-R BT.709/EBU/SMPTE-C)  
color space settings. You can contrast the images of the  
monitors placed on monitor wall mount or rack mount.  
Setting the color space function to off reproduces the  
image in the original wide color space of OLED.  
Advantages of OLED panel technology  
The OLED panel makes use of an organic material,  
which emits light when an electric current is applied.  
Being self-emitting, the strength of luminescence can be  
controlled by the amount of electric current. This brings  
about the following three features:  
Proprietary feedback circuit  
Automatic monitoring and feedback of emitted light and  
color variation enables stable, long-term color  
reproduction. This self-correcting feature minimizes the  
need for user-adjustment of color settings.  
Quick motion picture response:  
The luminescent state of the OLED panel can be  
changed instantaneously by changing the current flow in  
the organic material. This enables a quick motion  
picture response and production of images with minimal  
blurring and ghosting. Furthermore, performance for  
shooting on location is not influenced by changes in  
environmental temperature.  
Strong, slim and lightweight  
The strong, slim, and lightweight design of the  
aluminum die-cast chassis makes the monitor suitable  
for use with rack mounts or as a portable monitor. This  
reduces the weight burden on an outdoor broadcasting  
van, and allows for a wider working space.  
Use the light intercepting hood, connector protector and  
carrying handle (optional Sony VF-510 Monitor ENG  
Kit) for outdoor use.  
High contrast and wide dynamic range:  
The OLED panel does not emit light when black signal  
is applied to the monitor, enabling a pure black screen to  
be displayed. Furthermore, thanks to high peak  
brightness the panel impressively displays brilliance and  
clarity of various sparkling images, such as stars in a  
night sky twinkling, night illuminations winking or  
glass glittering, etc.  
Removable screen's protection plate  
You can attach and detach the screen’s protection plate  
easily with the four screws.  
Monitor stand  
You can set the monitor display in 15° by using the  
stand.  
Rich color reproduction:  
An OLED panel's self-luminescence also allows for  
great color reproduction across the entire spectrum in  
practically any shade or brightness.  
Two power systems  
This unit can also be operated by DC 12V or its  
exclusive AC adaptor. The AC adaptor can be mounted  
on the rear of the monitor for easy use.  
Sony's Super Top Emission (STE) OLED panel  
The 7.4 type Quarter HD (960×540) OLED panel  
features Sony's Super Top Emission structure. Unlike  
the conventional bottom emission structure of TFT,  
Sony's STE OLED panel can reproduce a crisper image  
due to high brightness. Furthermore, a unique  
microcavity structure makes RGB primary colors purer  
and deeper by utilizing light resonance effects that  
magnify optimum light wave lengths and diminish  
undesired light wave lengths.  
Camera focus  
This function sharpens the edges of the image more than  
the amount set by the upper limit of the aperture value in  
the USER CONTROL menu.  
This is convenient for focusing with the camera.  
The panel's 10-bit driver enables smooth gradation of  
color shading.

(embedded audio only) can be displayed.  
Blue only mode  
In the blue only mode, a monochrome display is  
obtained with all three of the R/G/B picture elements  
driven with a blue signal. This mode is convenient for  
chroma and phase adjustments and monitoring of signal  
noise.  
For more information, see SUB INPUT SELECT of  
H/V delay mode  
The horizontal and vertical sync signals can be  
monitored simultaneously.  
Screen saver  
To reduce burn-in, the brightness of the screen can be  
automatically decreased when a still image is displayed  
for more than 10 minutes.  
Select marker/scan display  
Various items for broadcast use can be displayed.  
The center marker, aspect marker or display size (scan),  
etc are displayed by selecting according to use.

size to 0% scan (normal) or 5% over scan (over).  
A native display function that maps the pixel of the  
signal to the panel in one-to-one mode is also equipped.  
With this, scaling to correct the screen aspect ratio is  
done to the horizontal direction of SD signals with non-  
square pixels (number of horizontal pixels of the signal  
system is 720 or 1440) or 640 × 480 SD signal of HDMI  
video.  
Rack mount monitors  
Using the optional MB-531 Mounting Bracket, up to  
two monitors may be mounted on the EIA-standard 19-
