Flanders Scientific live grading update enables four-camera monitoring on XMP displays
Flanders Scientific and Pomfort have integrated Livegrade 7.2 with XMP Series monitors to enable four-channel live grading on a single display. The update allows for independent LUT control for four SDI camera feeds without the need for external hardware or genlock synchronization.
Key Takeaways
- Pomfort Livegrade 7.2 integration enables independent LUT control for four SDI camera feeds on one FSI XMP monitor.
- XMP firmware 3.2.10 supports quad-view monitoring of four signals at the same frame rate without external genlock.
- Hardware provides eight total SDI outputs, including four clean loop-throughs and four dedicated processed monitor outputs.
- Internal image processing replaces external LUT boxes, reducing cabling and equipment footprint for mobile DIT carts.
Why It Matters
This integration significantly lowers the barrier for high-end multi-camera monitoring by shifting LUT processing from external hardware directly into the reference display. For DITs and live colorists, the ability to manage four independent looks without genlock or additional signal processors simplifies the technical stack for space-constrained mobile productions. Within the broader streaming ecosystem, this move toward integrated hardware-software workflows reflects a trend of consolidating production tools to increase efficiency and reduce latency. Watch for whether other monitor manufacturers adopt similar deep software integrations to compete with the XMP Series' all-in-one processing capabilities.
Additional Context
The shift toward integrated hardware-software workflows is also evident in recent IP-based broadcast production developments, which aim to reduce the complexity of traditional signal routing.
