Real-time monitors for 4K and HDR
Dome Productions has delivered live sports and entertainment productions across North America since 1989. Working with teams, leagues, broadcasters and production companies, it has produced more than 1,000 live 4K events over the last five years. But with growing demand for 4K and HDR, it needed monitors that would give video operators and technical directors accurate, true-to-life images in real-time.
Accurate colours, stable images
Dome Productions fitted out its latest mobile production unit, Dome Gateway, with Sony’s 24-inch* PVM-X2400 and 18.4-inch* PVM-X1800 monitors. Video operators now have dependable, native 4K displays with the highest levels of colour accuracy, so they can ensure high image quality and production values. And with low latency and 3D LUT options, they can comfortably work at the pace that live productions demand.
More production options
The monitors’ quad view capability can display four signals on one screen, helping directors and operators to juggle complex productions. Or they can compare four different looks for one signal, for fast creative decisions. Now, Dome Productions has added PVM-X series monitors to its all-4K Dome Silver truck, joining Sony HDC-5500 system cameras to deliver 4K HDR productions for even more clients.
