FSI @ NAB 04: Making ings More Complete. New Division, New Features, & New Products

We understand that professionals like you need more than just one product that is good at one thing. You need complete solutions for a wide variety of applications. In order to help meet those needs we are officially unveiling some new and upcoming features and products that will make our already capable monitor lineup even more versatile.

In addition to these new monitoring products and features we are also excited to take this opportunity to announce a new division of Flanders Scientific, FSI Solutions, that will bring you a wide variety of solutions that help make our monitors and other professional equipment on the market more complete.

New Native 1920x1080 Resolution 9 Monitor

Introducing the all new BM090, a color-critical native HD resolution 9 monitor that brings FSIs entire advanced feature set to a small field and rack-mount friendly form factor. Typically, finding a high quality professional 9 broadcast monitor means sacrificing either bit depth, resolution, or color gamut. The BM090 overcomes all of these obstacles to provide you with a no-compromise 9 monitoring option that is truly a miniaturized version of FSIs fully loaded large format monitors.

The BM090, like its larger companions, is equipped with our second generation color fidelity engine that supports 3D LUTs for both calibration and DIT/Look LUT applications. The BM090 is equipped with 3G/Dual-Link/HD/SD-SDI and DVI-I Inputs offering full support of advanced 12 bit, 4:4:4, and even XYZ signal formats. Like all BM & CM series monitors this unit allows for simple realtime monitoring of 2 signals onscreen at the same time and of course comes equipped with the full assortment of FSI scopes, audio meters, markers, and adjustable exposure check.

New Features for CFE2 Equipped Units

At NAB 2014 we will be showcasing a powerful new ethernet based extension of our DIT LUT capabilities. This new enhancement will allow third party applications to communicate with and quickly control the color management capabilities on all CFE2 equipped monitors in our lineup. A proof of concept demo will be shown at our booth with software allowing for the following advanced features:

Fast manipulation of the monitors onboard LUTs via CDL, 3Way (Log), and Curve Controls

Export of user defined manipulations as 3D LUTs, 1D LUTs, and CDLs

Frame capture of incoming signal to attached computer

Monitor import of complete 1D & 3D LUTs from attached computer

By moving these advanced color management capabilities off of external LUT boxes and directly into the monitor we hope to significantly simplify your onset color management workflow. Fewer boxes, more simplified connectivity, and best of all no additional investment as these new capabilities are already built into all CFE2 equipped Flanders Scientific monitors.

New Audio Monitoring Support for 3G Level B Signals

To date, FSI monitors have only offered audio monitoring capabilities in SD, HD, and 3G-Level A-SDI. Now all CFE2 equipped monitors, including all of our current CM & BM series units, will also allow for audio monitoring within 3G Level B signals with a free firmware update. For those using BlackMagic Design or BlueFish444 I/O devices for 4:4:4 signal monitoring this will be a welcome addition as those companies utilize 3G Level B formatting for 4:4:4 output. This new 3G Level B audio support also extends to advanced 12 bit signal formats for ultimate compatibility and future proofing.

New Audio Loudness Monitoring

This release also includes a new single channel Audio Loudness monitor (BETA). Refinements and additional capabilities will likely be included once additional feedback is compiled from those testing this new capability.

These new features are available as a free firmware updates on all CFE2 equipped FSI monitors including the BM210, BM230, CM171, CM240, CM250, CM320TD, and CM500TD. Get the firmware update at http://www.FlandersScientific.com
