DM Series Monitors
XMP Series Monitors
XMP C Series Monitors
The XMP550C is a more compact and affordable version of our award winning XMP550. It uses the same industry leading 55" UHD resolution QD-OLED panel as the XMP550, but in a form factor that is better suited to many broadcast control rooms, OB trucks, and even some post production applications.
These differences result in a reduction of size, weight, and cost. Overall monitor height is reduced by over 2 inches (5.2cm) and there is a weight savings of 4lbs (1.8kg), but more importantly the XMP550C provides a perfectly rectangular chassis design that tends to be better suited to control room installations. The XMP550C is a great solution for applications that either require less frequent access to menus / functions or where remote control of the monitor is likely to be used instead.
Featuring 2,000nits peak luminance, 4,000,000:1 contrast, and our widest color gamut to date the XMP550C is ready to handle practically any monitoring requirement including HLG, PQ, and SDR applications.
The XMP550C qualifies as a Dolby Vision mastering monitor bringing an end to the need to compromise between smaller reference grade HDR displays and larger non-reference client displays. The XMP550 delivers the best of both worlds with truly reference grade performance and professional connectivity in a form factor large enough for everyone to see.
All FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory. The XMP550C features highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration, making it incredibly easy for operators to recalibrate the display over time. Simply plug a supported probe directly into the monitor and the advanced GaiaColor AutoCal routine will profile the monitor for all color space selections in one simple, unified calibration process—all without requiring a computer. AutoCal works by profiling the monitor's native, uncalibrated state and storing this data in non-volatile memory. When a color management selection is made, the monitor calculates and instantly applies a calibrated state based on that stored profile. Since all selections are derived from a single primary profile capture, operators can switch between selections without needing to rerun AutoCal, ensuring a fast, accurate, and efficient workflow.
How well does it work?

The XMP550C is also compatible with popular 3rd party calibration solutions including Calman and ColourSpace. Quickly and easily perform your own custom 3D+1D LUT based calibration with any program capable of saving into FSI's calibration LUT formats.
The XMP550C utilizes advanced tetrahedral LUT interpolation delivering a higher degree of precision with better on screen performance than simple trilinear LUT interpolation.
XMP and XMP C Series monitors are uniquely qualified for use as HDR Program Mastering Monitors, learn why in our Technical Overview PDF.
Other available OLED technologies are either too dim for HDR mastering or suffer from very significant volumetric collapse due to their non-additive RGB+W sub pixel structures making them unsuitable for HDR use cases that demand color accuracy. QD-OLED is truly RGB additive for white, thus avoiding color volume limitations.
XMP and XMP C Series monitors have the widest viewing angle, with the least off-axis contrast and color shift, ever featured in FSI displays. The flexibility to view these displays accurately from a wide variety of positions allows for less crowded and more comfortable viewing for clients and operators alike.
The XMP550C's accurate per pixel level luminance control means true black levels at all times with none of the small bright object or motion artifact limitations found on FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) LCDs. The per pixel emissive design of the XMP550C's QD-OLED panel guarantees exceptional simultaneous contrast with all varieties of content.
With the XMP550C you can rest assured that compared to FALD LCDs:
While the amount of halation can vary greatly between FALD LCDs, all FALD systems will show at least some degree of raised black levels and haloing when rendering a high contrast image like this example of a white circles on a black background graphic. The XMP550C's QD-OLED panel on the other hand can render these types of very bright white highlights while maintaining the intended deep black background.
The XMP550C is very power efficient compared to most other reference grade HDR display solutions. Display technologies like LMCL (Light Modulating Cell Layer) LCDs are highly inefficient as they not only need to pass light through two separate TFT layers, but also because their backlights always remain fully engaged drawing the same high amount of power whether displaying very dark or very bright images. When compared with bottom emission OLED technologies the efficiency of the XMP550C's top emission display structure means less power is required to attain the same luminance levels.
Reference grade HDR displays should be able to produce high simultaneous contrast, not just a bright image. Global dimming LCDs can either produce a bright image or a dark image, but cannot produce images that simultaneously have bright highlights and dark lowlights. Global dimming LCD specifications often quote high sequential contrast ratio figures, where a display's peak luminance and black level are measured at different times, but this can be quite misleading as simultaneous contrast is problematically low on these devices for any HDR content mastering use-cases. The XMP550C features class leading simultaneous contrast rendering both bright highlights and dark lowlights with incredible clarity and accuracy at the same time.
The XMP550C utilizes a combination of a graphite heat sink and all aluminum chassis to efficiently dissipate heat without relying on fans. Many consumer devices use a plastic chassis, which can act as an insulator trapping heat and impacting panel performance. An aluminum chassis not only provides increased strength and durability in professional installs, it also helps efficiently conduct heat away from the panel.
This fanless design provides users with both a quieter and lower maintenance HDR grading display.
12Gbps SDI connections greatly simplify control room design by allowing you to feed 4K and UHD signals to the display over a single cable. Quad 1.5Gbps and 3Gbps SDI connectivity are also supported ensuring compatibility with practically any type of 4K or UHD output.
XMP C series monitors feature 4 clean loop-throughs with each input having its own dedicated clean loop.
The XMP550C supports advanced signal formats up to 12bit 4:4:4 at 4K resolution setting it apart from less advanced monitoring solutions.
XMP C series monitors automatically read payload ID (VPID) information embedded in SDI signals and configure the monitor's SDI Format mode for proper support of 4:4:4 or 4:2:2, 10 or 12bit, and RGB or YCbCr signals. This information can also be temporarily displayed whenever a format change is detected so that you can be sure that what you intend to output to the monitor is what the monitor receives.
A VPID override toggle is also provided allowing users to manually configure the monitor in instances where the payload ID may be missing or incorrect.
Ideal for multi-camera setups, XMP C series monitors let you display up to 4 signals on-screen simultaneously. With a single command, you can toggle Quad View Mode on or off, making it easy to view 2, 3, or 4 inputs at once or to switch back to any single input full screen.
Best of all, Quad View mode does not require gen-lock synchronization. Simply connect sources of the same frame rate, and the monitor handles the rest.
Additionally, Quad-View Mode offers 4 channel LUT support so that each quadrant can have its own unique 3D LUT applied.
Perfect for multi-view control room applications each input can optionally be configured with completely independent color space parameters and these can all be viewed on screen at the same time. Select different gamuts, EOTFs, white points, and luminance parameters for the ultimate level of per input configuration flexibility. Prefer to keep things simple with a single global setting for all inputs? No problem, the monitor allows you to use it that way as well.
Quad view mode combined with independent color space configuration per input accommodates a very popular request, viewing HDR and SDR on screen at the same time. This can be especially useful on set where there often isn't the space or budget for independent HDR and SDR displays at every location.
The IP Remote Utility can be used to remotely toggle functions, switch inputs, and navigate the menu on Flanders Scientific monitors using your Mac or PC's keyboard, mouse or control panel. Also available for iOS devices.
A Stream Deck can be easily configured for use with the IP Remote Utility to trigger shortcuts.
Quickly and easily save up to 5 custom configurations and switch between them with a single command.
The XMP550C comes equipped with 4K/UHD/HDR compatible real-time waveform and vector scope. The waveform can be shown with your choice of percentage or PQ nits graticules for precise monitoring.
4 remotely adjustable points (via IPRU) from 0-100 percent allow you to establish specific target areas to be shown in false color or greyscale.
Blue Only, Blue Only Mono, Red Only, Red Only Mono, Green Only, Green Only Mono, and standard Monochrome monitoring modes are invaluable for QC and engineering tasks.
Choose from a wide assortment of standard area and safety markers, and optionally combine them with a center marker as well.
