Flanders Scientific has released Public Beta 3.1.14 for its XMP monitors, which unlock 6G/12G Quad Mode and per-input color controls.
This release includes many new features and significant changes to both menu structure and underlying code. As this is a Beta release, Flanders Scientific suggests that you continue to use the official firmware build (3.1.10) if you are in the middle of a critical project.
What’s New in 3.1.14
- 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 Behavior 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.

Other Updates
- 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: The Intermittent too bright on initial boot bug should be resolved in this build.
