Luminance Mode
Choose from pre-set luminance modes (Standard, Studio, Outdoor) or unlock the luminance slider to customize peak white
luminance.
Standard Mode is the default system luminance setting of your monitor as shipped from the factory, nominally 100nits
for a new unit.
Studio Mode will set the luminance of a display to approximately 200nits or the maximum attainable luminance of the
display, whichever is less. Please note that on several displays, especially OLED units, Studio and Outdoor modes will
be effectively the same.
Outdoor Mode will set the luminance of the display to its maximum potential luminance, we only suggest using this
mode in very bright environments where combating ambient light levels is a priority. Power consumption and absolute
color accuracy can be negatively impacted while in Outdoor Mode.
Custom Mode provides for a very ne tuned customization of monitor peak luminance. Once you select Custom
it is necessary to press the MENU button and then re-enter the System Menu for the Luminance slider to become
active. On all new units there is roughly a 1 to 1 correspondence between the luminance number shown and the peak
luminance as measured in cd/m2 when adjusting the slider between 40 and 120 (e.g. 100 equals roughly 100nits).
Above 120 the slider will behave differently depending on the specic monitor type you have and its peak luminance
capabilities and characteristics. At a setting of 120 or above older OLED units may visibly jump to max luminance
(Outdoor Mode), this is normal and we suggest limiting Custom Mode on OLEDs to a selection between 40 and 120.
Luminance
Adjust peak white luminance when Luminance Mode is set to Custom.
Please note that the Luminance value slider in Custom mode will respond slower if you are in Judd Modied color
matching mode on an OLED monitor. If you need to make large changes to the default Luminance slider position it
may be faster to rst switch to CIE 1931 before adjusting the setting.
LUT Bypass
Used when creating custom LUTs. See Appendix A or B or contact FSI Support for more information about LUT creation.
Update LUT
Used to update LUTs once LUT les have been loaded to the monitor. See Appendix A or B or contact FSI Support for more
information about loading LUTs to the monitor.
Red/Green/Blue Gain & Bias
These settings allow you to manually adjust the white balance of the monitor. We suggest using a 100% white eld for Gain
adjustment and a 30 to 40IRE grey eld for Bias adjustment.
Log Mode (Also selectable via Function Buttons)
Allows for easier on-set monitoring of uncorrected of C-Log, S-Log, or BMD Cinema Camera Film Mode Output by roughly
normalizing the footage. For all Log modes there is both a Standard and Full selection. The Standard selection is suitable
for most applications, but does clip highlights to allow for a brighter overall image. The Full mode is best used for scenes
with extremely wide latitude or scenes that are just very bright overall. Full mode preserves the entire native latitude of the
signal (nothing is clipped), but this can result in a rather dark image in many applications. We provide both for this reason
and you can quickly toggle between them as needed for different applications by assigning these modes to function keys.
These modes should only be used to offer on set viewers a rough normalization of the footage to give them an idea of what
the content might look like as a starting point in post production. In other words, it provides you with a helpful tool to show
on set viewers something that does not look ‘at’.
These Log modes are not a replacement for full 3D LUT transforms and not a substitution for proper color correction
in post production applications.
