New FSI Monitors Firmware Update Released

A new firmware version (1.1.03-2185) has been released for DM Series.

Improves backlight dimming performance. (DM170, DM240)

Notes from FSI

All DM series Flanders Scientific monitors now feature 3 selectable HDR Preview modes.

FSI CEO/GM Bram Desmet had this to say about these new capabilities: "Our aim with these new HDR monitoring modes was to allow users to leverage current technology for High Dynamic Range signal monitoring in production and quality control applications. While not intended for HDR mastering these modes do provide a simple and cost effective way to monitor PQ or HLG signals."

Three monitoring modes are available:

Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG).

ST2084 clipping at approximately 300nits.

ST2084 with a highlight roll. This setting may be particularly useful in production environments as it will allow operators to visually distinguish all code values present in a PQ signal.
