Ikan have added two new native 4K and Ultra HD HDR LCD professional monitors to their Ikan OBM monitor lineup. The two new monitors are the OBM-U310 and OBM-U550L. The OBM-U310 is a 31” native 4K (4096 x 2160) 10-Bit HDR LCD professional monitor and the OBM-U550L is a 55” native Ultra HD 4K HDR professional monitor. The monitors join the already previously announced OBM-U170 and OBM-U240w monitors in the series.
Ikan OBM Monitors: 4K at a variety of frame rates
The OBM-U310 and OBM-U550L can accept 4K and UHD signals in 60/59.94/50/30/29.97/25, and 24p. There is also a clever function where you can split screen the image to see one half in SDR and the other in HDR.
You got it? We’ll display it
All monitors in the OBM series have a SFP Optical interface, allowing users to take advantage of broadcast cameras and switchers that utilize this system. The OBM monitor series is also equipped with a standard 12G-SDI input interface, 3G/HD-SDI input interface, and supports 4K Quad Link Two-Sample interleave signals and 4K Quad Link Square Division signals. The OBM 4K series can display High Dynamic Range (HDR) footage. Other features of the OBM monitor series include high resolution waveform and vector scopes, wide color space and 3D-LUT support, focus assist and Zebra, and the ability to adjust the gamma value.
Ikan hasn’t released the pricing of the new monitors just yet, but they are already available to pre-order. I wouldn’t expect either of these new monitors to be cheap given the already available OBM-U170 and OBM-U240 retail for $4799 US and $8499 US respectively.
