Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the monitor and the name of each control. See the Setup Guide for information on the accessories included with this product.
Features
Support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) video
- Complies with the international HDR standards for movies and broadcasts
- Supports both the HDR "PQ format" for streaming and movie production, and the HDR "Hybrid Log Gamma format" for broadcasts. The "PQ format" complies with the SMPTE ST.2084*1 international HDR standards, and the "Hybrid Log Gamma format" complies with the ITU-R BT.2100*2 international HDR standard. This makes it possible to use the monitor for the color grading of a wide range of HDR content, such as movies and broadcasts.
- SMPTE stands for the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers.
- ITU-R stands for the International Telecommunication Union-Radio communication Sector.
- Built-in color mode function
- Reproduces a color temperature, gamma, and color gamut compliant with ITU-R BT.2100 and other standards.
- (see Color Mode)
Support for SDI signal input or output for long-distance transmissions
- Built-in SDI input terminals
- This monitor is equipped with one SDI input terminal that supports up to 3G-SDI signals*1.
- 3G-SDI Level B is not supported.
- Equipped with an SDI output terminal that supports loop-through output (active)
Built-in mode for automatically switching to the optimal color settings
- Color Mode "SYNC_SIGNAL"
- This monitor is equipped with a color mode (SYNC_SIGNAL) so you can automatically set the optimal values for the color settings of the monitor according to the input signal. If you use this mode, the color settings of the monitor automatically switch to the optimal color settings for HDR when the input signal is switched from SDR to HDR, so setting the colors manually is not necessary.
Various functions that support color grading work
- Dedicated video production functions, such as a Gamut Warning function and a Luminance Warning function
- (see Advanced Adjustments/Settings)
- User-defined custom key function
- Work efficiency can be improved by assigning frequently used functions to the buttons on the front of the monitor.
- (see Custom Key Settings)
- Displays HDCP (High Bandwidth Digital Protection) protected content
- Monitor hood included as standard
- Includes a monitor hood that effectively prevents reflections from external light, such as the reflected glare of a light. The monitor hood uses magnets for easy attachment and removal.
- SelfCalibration function
- The built-in calibration sensor enables the monitor to calibrate itself by using SelfCalibration.
- (see SelfCalibration)
Equipped with a USB Hub function
- Supports USB 5Gbps
- Achieves high-speed data transfers of up to 5 Gbps, which enables transfers of large amounts of data to and from USB memory devices in a short amount time.
- (see Using the USB Hub Function)
Controls and Functions
Front
| This sensor is used to perform monitor calibration. When SelfCalibration is executed, the calibration sensor automatically operates and regularly calibrates the monitor (see SelfCalibration). |
| Displays menus. Operate the switches according to the operation guide (see Basic Operation of the Setting Menu). |
| Turns the power on or off. Touching the switch turns on the power. The switch indicator lights up when you turn the power on. The indicator color differs depending on the monitor's operation status. White: Normal operation mode Orange: Power saving mode OFF: Main power/power off |

| Complies with Kensington's MicroSaver security system. |
| Use this button to remove the monitor from the stand. |
| Connects to headphones. |
| Connects to a peripheral USB device (see Using the USB Hub Function).
|
| Holds the monitor cables. |
| Adjusts the height and angle (tilt and swivel) of the monitor. The monitor can also be rotated vertically. |
| Turns the main power on or off.
|
| Connects the power cord. |
