EIZO Unveils ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 HDR Reference…

Well identified for his or her high-end and reference-quality screens, EIZO has launched their newest reference monitor, the ColorEdge Prominence CG3146, which is designed for HDR content material mastering for the printed and movie industries. The new 31.1-inch monitor largely builds upon applied sciences developed for its predecessor, the CG3145, however has plenty of enhancements, together with a built-in calibration sensor and SDI connectivity.

The EIZO ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 monitor relies on a 10-bit IPS panel with a 4096×2160 decision. All informed, the monitor can reproduce 1.07 billion colours, and is assisted by EIZO’s proprietary wide-gamut LED backlighting. According to EIZO, the high-end backlighting tech can management backlight depth on a per-pixel foundation, which allows the LCD to show intensively vivid colours and deep blacks with out the type of artifacts seen on screens with coarser backlighting programs. By the numbers, the CG3146 provides a typical brightness of “just” 1000 nits, but in addition hits a relatively whopping 1,000,000:1 distinction ratio.

The ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 covers 99% of the DCI-P3 coloration gamut and likewise helps sRGB, BT.2020, and BT.2100 coloration areas. The monitor incorporates a 24-bit 3D LUT (look-up desk) for easy coloration gradations and helps HLG (hybrid log-gamma) and the PQ (perceptual quantization) curve in order that it may be used with varied HDR modes/transports. For instance, HLG’s luminance tops at 1000 nits (which is appropriate for TVs), whereas  PQ helps significantly increased brightness of as much as 10,000 nits, which is required for recorded content material.

Color accuracy is totally essential for submit manufacturing and coloration grading workloads, so the ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 comes with an built-in sensor that calibrates the monitor when wanted and eliminates the necessity for an exterior calibrator machine. Meanwhile, other than qualities of the panel and backlighting, it depends upon such components as ambient and inner temperature of the monitor. To that finish, the ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 is supplied with a temperature sensor that measures temperature contained in the monitor and estimates temperature exterior of it to regulate LCD’s settings in actual time to make sure correct colours. Moreover, the EIZO’s digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) know-how not solely ensures the proper luminance, coloration temperature, and tones for secure picture show throughout the display, but in addition counterbalances the results {that a} altering temperature might have on uniformity. Last however not least, the show has a lightweight shielding hood.

Moving on to connectivity, EIZO’s new flagship HDR reference show provides an essential enchancment right here. As anticipated, the ColorEdge Prominence CG3146 has a DisplayPort able to DCI-4K with 4:4:Four chroma subsampling at 50/60 Hz, in addition to an HDMI 2.Zero enter able to DCI-4K with 4:2:2 at 50/60 Hz. Furthermore, the monitor has 12G/6G/3G/HD-SDI BNC inputs and outputs to attach SDI supporting gadgets, which is a big enchancment for the movie and broadcasting industries.
