18.5″ HDR LED Monitor

The CS-18.5iBM is an 18.5-inch FHD premium HDR broadcast monitor featuring integrated 3D LUT color calibration technology. It offers selectable color spaces including REC709, DCI-P3, Rec 2020, and User, with support for importing 3rd party LUT files. The monitor provides Waveform, Vector, Pixel Measurement, Darkness Check, and other features, catering to high-end broadcasting, color grading, and post-production applications. Its HDR display supports PQ and HLG, ensuring accurate and vibrant color reproduction. The CS-18.5iBM’s combination of advanced color calibration, wide color space support, and HDR capabilities makes it a versatile and powerful tool for professionals in the broadcasting and film industry.

Key Features
 
  • The Calytrix Solutions CS-18.5iBM offer 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, this simplifies DIT, post-production, and grading work, optimizing workflow, and improving efficiency.
  • With the LUT loading function, users can load 2 different 3D LUT files with different 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 provide 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 the 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.
  • 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.
