Announcing the XMP C Series

Compact, Cost-Effective Monitors for Trucks and Control Rooms.

FSI is pleased to introduce the new XMP C Series, adding three compelling monitors to our lineup: the XMP270C, XMP310C, and XMP550C.

Designed with broadcast control rooms, OB trucks, and select post-production environments in mind, the XMP C Series reduces size, weight, and cost—while maintaining the same industry-leading QD-OLED panels used in the XMP270, XMP310, and XMP550.

To achieve this streamlined design, the XMP C Series incorporates four key changes:

  • A simplified rear-mounted 5-way controller replaces the traditional front-facing keypad
  • Processed monitor outputs have been removed, but clean loop-throughs remain
  • Integrated speakers have been removed, but audio output jack still provided
  • A new rectangular chassis optimized for control-room installations and tight multi-monitor layouts

These refinements result in notable reductions in size, weight, and cost. Overall height decreases by 1.375" to 2" (3.5-5.2 cm) and weight decreases by 1.3 to 4 lbs (0.6-1.8 kg) depending on model. While the Standard XMP Series remains our top recommendation for on-set production and many post-production workflows—where front keypads and processed outputs are particularly valuable—the XMP C Series offers an attractive alternative for environments where menu access is infrequent or external/remote control is the norm.

Product Highlights

FSI CEO Bram Desmet shares his thoughts on the motivation behind the XMP C series

Over the last couple of years, our XMP Series QD-OLED monitors have been incredibly well received. But as we worked more closely with facilities deploying these displays in broadcast control rooms and OB trucks, we identified a fairly consistent set of requests—simple changes that would make the monitors even better suited for these environments. In these applications, most clients don't need a front-facing keypad, and in many cases they actually prefer that physical controls be minimized or locked to avoid accidental changes. They also rarely use the processed monitor outputs that are standard on the XMP line. Space and weight constraints are another big factor in trucks and control rooms, and finally, many of these installations require simpler rectangular display bezels so the monitors can tile tightly together, something our larger XMP550 did not accommodate as it has a keyboard area protrusion that sits below the primary bezel area. To address all of this, we developed the XMP C Series—“C” for compact. These new models offer the same industry-leading QD-OLED performance as the standard XMP monitors, but in a more streamlined, lighter, and affordable form factor tailor-made for these specialized installations.
