Earlier in the year SWIT unveiled its new 4K 31.5-inch Mini-LED HDR Monitor. The monitor has 1500 nits of high brightness and a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, providing a full viewing angle for displaying HDR content. It comes equipped with four 12G-SDI inputs and it supports 4K ST2110 IP for both broadcast and film post-production applications.
We first saw this monitor at NAB 2023, but now we have a lot more details about it.
The monitor is available in two models, the BM-U325MD and BM-U326MD.
The 31.5-inch monitor has a resolution of 3840×2160 UHD and 2304 local dimming zones. Each zone has 4 SMD LEDs and takes 60×60 pixels, about 1.1×1.1cm area. Between the display panel and backlight, there’s a dedicated Quantum Dot Layer (QLED tech). his allows for precise backlight control and helps to eliminate halo effects.
Most Mini-LED panels can’t reproduce images with tiny pixels in high backlight intensity areas, and this results in lost image details. SWIT utilizes artificial intelligence technology to enhance and compensate the pixels to recover tiny details in high-intensity backlight areas.
The monitor covers 100% of Rec.709, DCI-P3, and 76.8% of Rec.2020.
The BM-U325MD and BM-U326MD support Single link 4K and Quad link 4K & 8K inputs, both SQD and 2SI modes.
The BM-U326MD has a built-in ST2110 IP receiver, which supports up to 4K 60p, and provides 2×SFP28 25G Base slots for backup, with clean switch and hitless failover. There is also support for ST2110-20/21/22/30/40, and RJ45 LAN connection IP webpage configuration.
4x input sources with mixed formats can be displayed in quadview with independent Waveforms/Audio meters/Gamma/Color Gamut/UMD settings, and 2x input sources Pic-by-Pic or Pic-in-Pic display.
What is also nice is that you can display 1 input source in 4 different HDR/SDR and color gamut simultaneously while in the PBP mode or Quad mode selection.
