Flanders Scientific has released firmware 3.1.15 for the XMP and XMP C Series. This update features new Quad Mode options, per-input color management, improved DIT LUT handling, and additional enhancements.
Features of Firmware 3.1.15
(Unified build for XMP and XMP C series 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 simultaneously.
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.
Update to interactive behavior between Input Color Mode and Input Color Config for a more user-friendly experience. When selecting Input Color Mode Global, the Input Color Config menu will also automatically switch to Global and lock out access to Individual Input Color Configs to prevent any confusion. When switching to Input Color Mode -> Individual Input, the Individual Input Color Configs will become accessible, and access to the Global Input Color Config will be blocked to help prevent any confusion.
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 with options for Hue Preservation or Max Saturation. Allows you to define gamut mapping behavior when the monitor is set to a color space selection larger than the display can achieve (e.g., Rec2020). See the user manual for details.
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.
Adds ability for profiles to save and recall preferred custom marker settings.
Scopes, Menus, and OSD Status Windows have been updated to always operate at a consistent (SDR range) luminance level, regardless of the monitor’s operating mode. This helps render scopes and menus on screen at a comfortable brightness level, even when using the monitor in HDR mode. Menu brightness may still be further adjusted/customized from the OSD menu.
Bug Fix: The Intermittent “too bright on initial boot” bug should be resolved in this build.
Bug Fix: Resolves a bug inadvertently introduced in the first public beta that could lead to intermittent No Signal indications during AutoCal that could interrupt the process and lead to corrupt calibration data.
Bug Fix: fixes a bug from early betas that prevented scopes from working in the correct range while in Input Color Mode Global.
Bug Fix: resolves bug from earlier betas that prevented LUM Coloring / Red Only / Green Only / Blue Only modes from being activated properly while in Color-Input->Global mode.
