Flanders Scientific XMP Monitors Public Beta 3.1.14

As mentioned above, there are several new features and improvements to check out. Here’s a full list of everything new in Public Beta 3.1.14 for Flanders Scientific XMP Monitors:

  • 3G_INx4 renamed Quad Mode.
  • Adds support for 6G and 12G signals in Quad Mode.
  • Adds support for empty inputs in Quad Mode. Any empty input will simply be shown as a black quadrant on screen while in Quad Mode, allowing you to monitor 2, 3, or 4 signals at the same time.
  • Color management menus have been updated into two separate menus, Color-Global and Color-Input.
  • Color-Input menu now allows for independent color space configuration per input, including for simultaneous use in quad mode. Directly assign unique Gamut, EOTF, White Point, Range, and Luminance settings per input. A Global Color Input mode is also still provided, allowing for universal application of color management settings across all inputs.
  • Updated DIT LUT functionality (Global Color Input Mode only,) allowing up to 16 DIT Look LUTs to be saved to the monitor's non-volatile memory. Once saved to the monitor, any saved DIT Look LUT can be applied to any input directly from the monitor's Color Input menu.
  • Added Gamut Toggle menu item. Please note, this is only a placeholder for now and is not active yet. This feature will be added in a future build.
  • Performance Optimization: improvements to automatic signal locking on unclean switches and/or format changes upstream of the monitor. This should reduce or eliminate the need to re-press an input button to force signal re-lock when dealing with variable or unstable signals upstream of the display.
  • Bug Fix: Intermittent too bright on initial boot bug should be resolved in this build.
