The Lilliput PVM160S-E is a bright 15.6-inch production monitor for live events, streaming, broadcast, video production, and mobile use. Its high display brightness makes it particularly suitable for use in daylight, outdoor productions, and changing lighting conditions.
Unlike conventional preview monitors, the PVM160S-E combines professional monitoring with integrated streaming and recording functions. This means it can be used not only for image control on set, but also as a flexible interface for live streaming workflows.
The Full HD panel delivers a clear monitor image and supports professional signal paths via SDI, HDMI, and network. This allows the monitor to be integrated into both existing broadcast setups and modern streaming and IP-based production environments.
Via the integrated LAN port, the PVM160S-E can be incorporated into network workflows. The monitor supports push and pull streaming, making it suitable for live productions, events, training sessions, conferences, and hybrid production environments.
Streaming destinations can be configured via USB stick or through a web interface in the browser when the monitor and computer are on the same network. Optionally, the monitor can also be integrated into NDI-based workflows.
The integrated SD card slot enables direct video recording on the monitor. Recordings can be segmented for longer sessions and played back directly via the monitor menu if needed.
This makes the PVM160S-E suitable not only as a control monitor, but also as a practical solution for recordings, backup captures, and simple documentation without additional recorder hardware.
A comprehensive range of assist functions is available for professional image control. These include Waveform, Vectorscope, Histogram, False Color, Focus Peaking, Zebra, Markers, Pixel Zoom, Pixel-to-Pixel, Check Field, Color Bar, Freeze, H/V Delay, and Timecode display.
HDR support and 3D LUT functionality assist in evaluating log and HDR material directly on set. Custom LUTs can be loaded via USB to accurately assess different camera profiles and desired image looks during production.
The Lilliput PVM160S-E features SDI and HDMI connections with loop outputs as well as network, USB, and audio connections. This allows the monitor to be flexibly integrated into camera, streaming, studio, and event setups.
Power is supplied via DC input; optionally, the monitor can also be operated mobile with compatible battery plates. The VESA mounting option allows it to be mounted on tripods, brackets, production cases, or other mounting systems.
