Ikegami tm32-17 does it do 480p?

Post by soviet conscript »

So I just picked up a small lot of monitors, a PVM-20n2u, a NEC PG-2740 a JVC A101G and finally a widescreen Ikegami tm32-17

The Ikegami wouldn't even fit in my car and was way to heavy. I would of passed on it if the seller didn't offer to transport it to my storage unit.

that being said its in storage for the meantime. I don't even have the space currently to bring it home and set it up. my question is. does anyone have any experience with these monitors as there is scant information online. I has a component hookup but all I can find online spec wise is it has 600 lines of Horizontal res. what are the odds this guy can do 480P?

The Ikegami 17 series appear to be 15 kHz monitors. 240p/480i (and PAL equivalents) only.

I have no experience with these, but the leaflet you linked to mentions D2 (480p) and D3 (1080i) compatibility for digital signals using an add-on board. I somehow doubt that an input board would add general 31khz compatibility, when the tube itself (and it's standard RGB/component input) wouldn't support it already.... But hey, you have the display, so just give it a try!

I am pretty sure that none of the TM series can do 480p.

Are you sure? Everything I can find indicates that D1/D2/D3 are all 480i (15khz) formats. D1 was digital component and D2/D3 were competing uncompressed digital composite formats. It looks like D5 HD supported HD by using a D3 tape running at double speed with compression, but D3 itself was still standard def.

Wowsers! I'd never heard of the digital tape formats.

Not to be confused with D1, D2, and D3, varieties of d-terminal analog component video.
