​
You may reset to previous defaults (2.2. and 35) by selecting those settings from the menu.
​
Graticules Info On/Off toggle allows line position and span size information to be turned on/off when using the custom graticules marker feature.

Press Release:
​
[h=1][/h][h=1]Powerful New Update Now Available for CFE2 Equipped Monitors[/h] It has been several months since our last significant firmware update, but we've been very busy during that time with a ground up rewrite of the firmware. We think you will agree that it has been well worth the wait.


​

Now Store Up to 16 3D DIT LUTs at a Time

Our DIT LUT format and supporting firmware has been updated to allow you to store up to 16 different 3D DIT LUTs on the monitor at a time as opposed to just a single LUT as in the previous firmware. Both LightSpace CMS and Lattice already export in this updated LUT format so you can start using this new functionality right away. We have also added the ability to toggle the selected DIT LUT on/off quickly with a single function button.

16 Channel Audio Loudness Monitoring

Our previous beta support of single channel audio loudness monitoring has been replaced by a 16 channel audio loudness meter.

Faster Access to On Screen Time Code

Time Code can now be turned on and off more rapidly using an assigned function key instead of having to go through a menu selection.

SDI Black Level Selection

This new menu toggle allows for much simpler setup of the monitor for use with full range vs. limited range signal paths.

Graticules Info On/Off

The graticules information display can now be toggled on and off from the marker menu.

Other Notable Changes

The default gamma setting on all CFE2 equipped units is now 2.4 and the default Luminance setting on the Video Menu is now 29. Previous defaults of 2.2 and 35 may still be selected from their respective menus. On OLED units Flicker Free Mode ON is now the default setting.

DIT LUT Feature Now Easier to Use Than Ever Before

Last week we introduced a new update for CFE2 equipped units giving you the ability to store up to 16 different 3D DIT LUTs at a time on your Flanders Scientific monitors. Now we've made this feature even faster and easier to use with a simple, but extremely useful update.



With this new update when you activate the DIT LUT feature you can now instantly toggle between your custom LUTs by simply pressing the up and and down buttons without having to access a menu. We have also added a brief onscreen indication that shows which LUT is active.

Chromaticty can be plotted in either a CIE 1931 or CIE 1976 view. See page 13 of the updated user manual for details on this new feature.

Lock Brightness/Chroma/Contrast option added to the System Menu. Turn this ON to prevent accidental adjustment of current settings.

The various upload and save CFE/LUT commands have all been consolidated into a single Update LUT command to simplify the LUT loading process.

1D DIT LUT support added. UP to 16 custom 1D DIT LUTs may be uploaded in addition to the 16 3D DIT LUTs already supported. File format uses .lut extension and valid LUT names are dit01.lut through dit16.lut. Support for this 1D LUT format will has already been confirmed for the next official LightSpace CMS release with more programs to follow.

Wow.

I'm gonna have so much fun with these.
 
How do I locate the firmware update for the CM-170W? I've not been able to find a link on the Flanders site. Thanks.

UPDATE: Found it, thanks.
 
New FSI Monitors Firmware Update Released


A new firmware version (1.1.01-1983) has just been posted for All Units.


Release Date: 20 May 2015


Firmware Version: 1.1.01-1983


Supported Monitors: AM210, AM250, BM090, BM210, BM230, CM171, CM172, CM240, CM250, CM320TD, CM420TD, CM500TD, CM-170W, LM-0750W, LM-0950W, LM-1760W, LM-1770W, LM-2140W, LM-2340W, LM-2340TD, LM-2450W (Without CFE), LM-2450W (With CFE), LM-2452W (Without CFE), LM-2452W (With CFE), LM-2453W (Without CFE), LM-2453W (With CFE), LM-2460W, LM-2461W.


Release Notes


For AM, BM, CM Models



Adds two new user created markers: History Channel and TWC 2015.



Adds new Color Space position titled R709-JM. Any user created calibration LUT may be placed here, but when selecting this color space position the CIE1931/Judd Color Matching selection becomes greyed out on the Color Management Menu. The only functional difference between placing this LUT in the USER1 position vs. R709-JM position is that in the R709-JM position the Color Matching Function menu item is not accessible in order to prevent accidental application of Judd Modified CMF on top of a user generated 3D LUT that already directly targets a Judd Modified CMF white balance. If creating a calibration 3D LUT to load into this position the file name should be titled jm.cfe

Adds ability to override factory Rec709 position on OLED units so that operators can load there own calibration LUTs into these positions. This was previously locked out on OLED units with user access only being available on the user1, user2, and user3 positions.



Resolves H/V delay mode bug that showed grey instead of black background in blanking areas when H/V delay feature was activated. (BM & CM only)


For LM & CM-170W


Adds two new user created markers: History Channel and TWC 2015.
