  • Page 15 Function Menu Full Screen This function simply stretches any incoming source to fill the entire screen. Unlike the Zoom feature this full screen stretch does not preserve aspect ratio, but it does keep all of the active video signal present. Though the full screen mode has many potential uses it was designed primarily for use with rasterizers that generate a 16:10 or 16:9 aspect 1024x768 output.

    SDI Format FSI Monitors are capable of detecting the payload ID contained in an SDI signal. However, some sources or upstream equipment may not generate or pass payload ID. For sources lacking proper Payload ID you may override the SDI Format auto detect function and manually select the appropriate format.

This setting only applies to interlaced video signals. For progressive and PsF video signals there is only 1 type of fast mode processing that will automatically be selected when Fast Mode is enabled so the setting here does not apply in those scenarios.

    Color Management Menu - HDR Preview HDR Preview The ST2084 HDR Preview Modes have been designed to provide an affordable monitoring option for PQ (ST2084) signals. These modes are not a replacement for proper HDR monitoring and all reference level HDR evaluation should be done on a true HDR reference display.

The black line represents a ST-2084 reference EOTF response with hard clip at 1,000nits. The blue lines represent the various HDR Preview Mode Options. Return to Table of Contents ©...
  • Page 40 Color Management Menu - HDR Preview Expectations and Understanding Limitations: The HDR Preview Modes are incredibly powerful as a very affordable HDR signal monitoring solution, but they do not represent a replacement for reference level HDR displays. Specifically, while the Soft Roll functionality does allow users to continue to see highlight detail present in the signal, something no SDR monitor will be able to do well is mimic the color volume of an HDR display.

    DM series monitors are capable of loading multiple custom DIT / Look LUTs which unlike calibration LUTs do not require you to profile the panel. You can use Lattice, LightSpace, or ColourSpace to convert LUTs to FSI’s format. The LightSpace workflow is shown below.
  • Page 50 As of version 1.9.1, FSI’s IP Remote Utility can also be used to save Look / DIT LUTs to DM series memory over ethernet instead of USB. Formatting must still be in FSI’s .dat LUT format, but unlike USB based LUT loading, the LUT file can be given any name you like as the save-to memory position on the monitor is directly selected from the IPRU and does not rely on file name (e.g.
