Flanders Scientific XMP310 Mastering Monitor

31.5” QD-OLED HDR Mastering MonitorThe Flanders Scientific XMP310 is a 31.5-inch UHD QD-OLED HDR and SDR mastering monitor designed for colourists, DITs, editors, and post-production professionals who need accurate, reference-grade monitoring. Featuring 3840 x 2160 native resolution, 1,000-nit peak luminance, approximately 1.5 million:1 contrast, and an exceptionally wide colour gamut, the XMP310 qualifies as a Dolby Vision mastering monitor for demanding HDR finishing and SDR colour-grading workflows. Its GaiaColor AutoCal volumetric calibration system, built-in QC reporting, quad-view monitoring, professional 12G-SDI connectivity, and quiet fanless design make it a powerful compact mastering display for production, post-production, and broadcast environments.

GaiaColor AutoCalAll FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory. The XMP310 also features highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration, making it incredibly easy for operators to recalibrate the display over time. Simply plug a supported probe directly into the monitor and the advanced GaiaColor AutoCal routine will profile the monitor for all color space selections in one simple, unified calibration process—all without requiring a computer. AutoCal works by profiling the monitor's native, uncalibrated state and storing this data in non-volatile memory. When a color management selection is made, the monitor calculates and instantly applies a calibrated state based on that stored profile. Since all selections are derived from a single primary profile capture, operators can switch between selections without needing to rerun AutoCal, ensuring a fast, accurate, and efficient workflow.

The XMP310 utilizes advanced tetrahedral LUT interpolation delivering a higher degree of precision with better on screen performance than simple trilinear LUT interpolation.

Built Right in with GaiaColor AnalyzerGaiaColor Analyser is a fast, powerful calibration QC tool built into every XMP series monitor. Simply plug in a compatible probe, launch the analyser, and in as little as 60 seconds you'll have a full QC report displayed directly on screen — no software, no computer, no hassle.

GaiaColor Analyser automatically checks calibration against your current monitor configuration, meaning you can run accurate QC reports across thousands of potential configurations without any additional setup steps. The two most recent reports are automatically saved to monitor memory, so you can pull them up at any time. Moreover, if you'd like to export the report to a computer, the free IP Remote Utility application lets you retrieve any saved report from monitor memory and export it as a PDF in seconds.

GaiaColor Analyzer is the perfect companion to GaiaColor AutoCal allowing you to confirm that your calibration results are on target, track performance over time, and know exactly when it's time to run a new AutoCal.

Per Pixel Emissive DesignThe XMP310's accurate per pixel level luminance control means true black levels at all times with none of the small bright object or motion artifact limitations found on FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LCDs. The per pixel emissive design of the XMP310's QD-OLED panel guarantees exceptional simultaneous contrast with all varieties of content.

With the XMP310 you can rest assured that compared to FALD LCDs
• Highlight detail will not be obscured due to backlight zone flaring.
• Shadow detail and black levels will not be compromised by halation.
• There will be no colour shift or artificial flicker with fast-moving bright objects.
• No scene cut anomalies as can be found on some FALD that exhibit differential rise/fall times of LED backlight phosphors.

While the amount of halation can vary greatly between FALD LCDs, all FALD systems will show at least some degree of raised black levels and haloing when rendering a high contrast image like this example of a white circles on a black background graphic. The XMP310's QD-OLED panel on the other hand can render these types of very bright white highlights while maintaining the intended deep black background.

Advantages over Global Dimming LCDsThe XMP310 is very power efficient compared to most other reference grade HDR display solutions. Display technologies like LMCL (Light Modulating Cell Layer) LCDs are highly inefficient as they not only need to pass light through two separate TFT layers, but also because their backlights always remain fully engaged drawing the same high amount of power whether displaying very dark or very bright images. When compared with bottom emission OLED technologies the efficiency of the XMP310's top emission display structure means less power is required to attain the same luminance levels. The XMP310 is equipped with a 24V 3PIN XLR power connection and is power efficient enough to run off of battery power for hours at a time.

Reference grade HDR displays should be able to produce high simultaneous contrast, not just a bright image. Global dimming LCDs can either produce a bright image or a dark image, but cannot produce images that simultaneously have bright highlights and dark lowlights. Global dimming LCD specifications often quote high sequential contrast ratio figures, where a display's peak luminance and black level are measured at different times, but this can be quite misleading as simultaneous contrast is problematically low on these devices for any HDR content mastering use-cases. The XMP310 features class leading simultaneous contrast rendering both bright highlights and dark lowlights with incredible clarity and accuracy at the same time.

4 Channel LUT SupportIdeal for multi-camera setups, XMP series monitors let you display up to 4 signals on-screen simultaneously. With a single button press, you can toggle Quad View Mode on or off, making it easy to view 2, 3, or 4 inputs at once or to switch back to any single input full screen. Best of all, Quad View mode no longer requires gen-lock synchronization. Simply connect sources of the same frame rate, and the monitor handles the rest. Additionally, Quad-View Mode offers 4 channel LUT support so that each quadrant can have its own unique 3D LUT applied.

HDR & SDRQuad view mode combined with independent color space configuration per input accommodates a very popular request, viewing HDR and SDR on screen at the same time. This can be especially useful on set where there often isn't the space or budget for independent HDR and SDR displays at every location.
