Flanders Scientific DM231: Uncompromising Color Accuracy for Professionals
Elevate your on-set and post-production workflow with the Flanders Scientific DM231, a lightweight, power-efficient, and critically accurate 23.8" broadcast monitor. Designed for professionals who demand reliability, the DM231 delivers a pristine image you can trust, making it the ideal choice for production, color grading, and broadcast environments. Its larger size perfectly complements the 21.5" DM211, creating a seamless and consistent multi-monitor setup.
At the heart of the DM231 is FSI’s 3rd generation Color Fidelity and LUT Interpolation Engine (CFE3). This advanced engine provides industry-leading tetrahedral LUT interpolation for superior visual accuracy compared to standard trilinear systems. It allows for instant selection between a vast array of color spaces, including Rec.709, DCI-P3, and Rec.2020 Emulation, with additional toggles for gamma, peak luminance, and color temperature. The CFE3 also enables powerful integrations with leading software like Pomfort Livegrade Pro, QTake, and Assimilate Live Looks, streamlining your color management pipeline from capture to final delivery.
Calibration is simple and precise, with no external computer required. While every monitor arrives pre-calibrated from the factory, the advanced volumetric AutoCal system allows for effortless recalibration over time. Simply connect a supported probe, and the monitor performs a comprehensive profile, generating and storing 3D and 1D LUTs on the fly. This ensures your monitor remains a consistent and accurate reference point throughout its lifespan.
Enhance your workflow with the versatile Second Screen Output, which mirrors the processed image—complete with applied LUTs—to downstream equipment. This feature operates in addition to the standard loop-throughs, allowing you to output both a clean and a manipulated signal simultaneously, providing ultimate flexibility for on-set review and client viewing.
