18.5-INCH Broadcast Monitor

18.5-INCH Broadcast Monitor

The CS-18.5iBM is an 18.5-inch FHD premium HDR broadcast monitor with integrated 3D LUT color calibration. It offers selectable color spaces including REC709, DCI-P3, Rec 2020, and User, and supports importing third-party LUT files. The monitor provides Waveform, Vector, Pixel Measurement, and Darkness Check features, making it suitable for high-end broadcasting, color grading, and post-production. Its HDR display supports PQ and HLG, ensuring accurate and vibrant color reproduction. This combination of advanced features makes the CS-18.5iBM a versatile tool for professionals, supporting FHD, HDR, and 3G-SDI.

Features

  • The Calytrix Solutions CS-18.5iBM offers HDR display support, featuring adjustable HDR modes such as PQ (ST2084) and HLG with Rec 2020 color gamut. This allows for a greater dynamic range of luminosity and extremely high picture quality.

  • The monitor supports 3D LUT, which simplifies DIT, post-production, and grading work, optimizing workflow and improving efficiency.

  • With the LUT loading function, users can load two different 3D LUT files with various color types according to their needs. This simplifies DIT, post-production, and grading work, optimizing workflow and improving efficiency.

  • The Calytrix Solutions CS-18.5iBM supports a variety of EOTF curve conversions applicable to the broadcast industry and digital film standards. It offers presets for camera logs and gamma curve selections, enabling the perfect combination with camera systems and providing HDR metadata information.

  • The monitors feature a Part Zoom-in function, allowing users to zoom in on any part of the picture to view details more clearly and assist with focus.

  • Both SDI and HDMI support Waveform, Vector scope, and Histogram, which can be displayed on screen simultaneously. When luminance reaches or exceeds a preset value, overexposed areas are red-marked (Waveform Alarm).

  • The Darkness Check function increases the brightness and contrast ratio in dark areas, showing more shadow details of the input signal. This helps double-check shadow detail to avoid missing information.

  • The false color feature enables the monitor to display blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red colors in turn to show the luminance or brightness values of the image from darkest to brightest, enabling proper exposure.

  • Exposure of the image can be checked using a color sequence (blue, cyan, green, yellow, orange, and red) to show luminance or brightness values from darkest to brightest, enabling proper exposure without external test equipment.

  • The monitors offer Picture in Picture as well as Picture by Picture for one signal with another signal (Video/Component/SDI/HDMI/DVI/VGA), allowing for free swapping between the two images.

  • Focus assist marks sharp edges with red color to aid the camera operator in obtaining the sharpest possible picture.

  • The horizontal picture flip function allows for a negative image, useful in studios/virtual studios for programs like weather forecasts and news.

  • Zebra stripes display overexposed areas (too bright) of the image, aiding the camera operator in controlling luminance to avoid overexposure.

  • A movable cross-hair allows selection of any single pixel or block of pixels to obtain real-time readouts of the Y&RGB values of the selected position. This function is useful for getting real-time measurement values and comparing them between points of the input signals.
