FOX 13 WTVT-TV, a FOX O&O station in Tampa, Fla., has invested in new monitors from Plura Broadcast, a leading manufacturer of high-end professional LCD monitors for studio and field use.

FOX 13 News produces 54 hours of news per week, including nine of hours each weekday, for the Tampa-St. Petersburg market, currently the 13th largest designated market area (DMA) in the United States. Plura PBM-124 24-inch monitors are being used in the station’s graphics areas, audio booth, and control room.

“Broadcasters like WTVT need affordable, high-quality monitors that can stand up to the relentless production schedules of local news,” said Ray Kalo, Plura president and CEO. “Plura monitors provide the reliability they need without compromising image quality or features.”

WTVT purchased the LCD monitors through COMMAND Corporation, a professional video integrator based in Clearwater, Fla. Dave Smith, vice president of COMMAND, said the station initially purchased six Plura monitors and has ordered more units for its facility.

Part of the Plura Precision Broadcast LCD Series, the Plura PBM-124 monitor offers 1920x1200 native resolution with 700:1 contrast and a 178-degree viewing angle. It also features a built-in waveform monitor and 16-channel audio metering display. The multi-format monitor supports HD, SD-SDI, and analog video formats, and includes pixel-to-pixel scaling, intelligent connection for calibration and alignment, and adjustable colometry and gamma correction.
