Safety Precautions

OLED PANEL BURN-IN WARNING
This display has been designed primarily for SDR Mastering / Monitoring applications. HDR monitoring modes are provided as well and may be useful for short-term client review of HDR material. However, this display is not suggested for HDR mastering or long-term HDR monitoring as prolonged use of these modes can reduce the lifespan of the display as well as have a negative impact on the overall display performance.

Display of static content, overlays, OSD menu or scopes, may cause permanent BURN-IN on the display’s OLED panel.
The length of time required for burn-in to develop varies due to many factors including content and luminance level.
You should avoid displaying static content, especially in HDR mode for extended periods of time.
To lessen the potential severity of burn-in the display will start to dim if a static image is detected for 2 or more minutes. The display will return to normal operating luminance when the image is refreshed (see the Panel Dimming section of the manual for details). Panel dimming can be turned off, but additional caution should be exercised if panel dimming is disabled.
A Clear Panel Noise capability is provided that can help restore panel performance to some extent, but when possible care should be taken to avoid conditions that may cause burn-in.

Connecting and Disconnecting SDI BNC Cables
To prevent damage to components from electrical discharge follows these steps:

• Connect power first on all devices.
• Power on all devices.
• Connect BNC cables.

To disconnect:

• Disconnect BNC cables.
• Power down and disconnect power from devices.

If using a wireless video receiver we strongly suggest using an SDI Video Ground Path Isolator (available at ShopFSI.com and ShopFSI.eu) and powering the receiver from a separate power source than the monitor. Use of wireless video receivers can cause dangerous ground loop issues that can damage connected equipment like monitors. Using a ground loop isolator and powering from a separate power source will help keep downstream equipment protected.

Menu – Scope Menu
Scope Menu

Lum & Vec Position
Use Lum & Vec Position to select in what area of the screen you would like your Scopes to be displayed.
Lum Style
Select IRE or HDR (PQ) Waveform. Note: HDR Waveform currently only works with YCbCr formats.
Lum Coloring (Customizable Exposure Check)
Generates an artificial luminance map of the incoming source that can be particularly useful in identifying overexposed areas in any given shot. An onscreen scale helps indicate what artificial color corresponds to what luminance from 0 to 100 percent.
You can change the range of these color-coded regions to any preferred setting by using the monitor’s rotary knobs. The H POS rotary knob will adjust the lower limit of the lower color-coded region. The V POS rotary knob will adjust the upper limit of the lower color-coded region. The Ref POS rotary knob will adjust the lower limit of the upper color-coded region. The F Stop Rotary knob will adjust the upper limit of the upper color-coded region. These color-coded ranges are retained in memory so you can exit and reenter Lum Coloring Mode without having to reset your desired threshold levels.
Note: Scopes only work in Normal LUT Mode. Scopes will not operate in Advanced LUT Mode.

SDI Format
Select the correct incoming signal format. SDI Format selection overrides payload ID if not set to AUTO.
Mode
The mode selection allows you to set the SDI input configuration as well as the processed monitor output configuration. Please note that the output configuration only impacts the outputs labeled MON, the standard OUT connections are always clean loop throughs of whatever is being received by the display. Note that when using a down-conversion configuration UHD will be down-converted to HD and 4K will be down-converted to 2K. All 2K and HD down- converted signals will be output to all 4 MON outputs so the down-conversion may be accessed from any of these connections.

Available MODE options
AUTO: attempts to automatically identify the signal type, particularly useful if simply switching between single-link 1.5Gbps, 3Gbps, 6Gbps, and 12Gbps SDI signals formats.
6G_IN: single-link 6Gbps SDI input, single-link 6Gbps SDI output
6G_IN HD_OUT: single-link 6Gbps SDI input, 1.5Gbps HD output
6G_DL_IN: dual-link 6Gbps SDI input, dual-link 6Gbps SDI output
6G_DL_IN 3G_OUT: dual-link 6Gbps SDI input, single-link 3Gbps SDI Level A output
12G_IN: single-link 12Gbps SDI input
12G_IN 3G_OUT: single-link 12Gbps SDI input, single-link 3Gbps SDI Level A output
3G_DL-IN: dual-link 3Gbps SDI Level B input, dual-link 3Gbps SDI Level B output
3G_IN: single-link 3Gbps SDI input scaled fullscreen
HD_IN: single-link 1.5Gbps SDI input scaled fullscreen
3G_INx4: quad 3Gbps SDI input from inputs 1,2,3,4 to form UHD/4K signal on the screen
HD_INx4: quad 1.5Gbps input from inputs 1,2,3,4 to form UHD/4K signal on the screen
4K and UHD over 3G dual-link, 3G quad-link, and 1.5G quad-link should be formatted as Square
Division (SQ). Two Sample Interleave (2SI) support is tentatively planned for a future release.
Deinterlace Mode
Mode1: Combines fields and displays as progressive scan image.
Mode2: Shows on screen as interlaced with correct field order.

Pixel Mapping
Pixel Mapping toggles between various available pixel mapping options including:
OFF
With Pixel Mapping set to OFF, the incoming source is scaled to fill as much of the screen as possible while preserving the aspect ratio. If the incoming source and panel share the same resolution then there will be no difference between OFF and the other pixel mapping modes.
Center
Maps the signal 1:1 with the center of incoming video in the middle of the screen.
Top Left
Maps the signal 1:1 with the top left of the incoming video on the top left of the screen.
Top Right
Maps the signal 1:1 with the top right of the incoming video in the top right of the screen.
Bottom Left
Maps the signal 1:1 with the bottom left of incoming video in the bottom left of the screen.
Bottom Right
Maps the signal 1:1 with the bottom right of the incoming video in the bottom right of the screen.
Note: Using pixel mapping with a 4K source on a native 3840×2160 screen will cause a portion of the video to not be displayed, but these modes can be used to display 4K signals 1:1 and view the Left, Right, or Center of the video signal.

Color Menu

ColorSystem
The monitor features 5 Color System selections: DEFAULT, GaiaColor, LightSpace, CalMAN, and NONE. On the XM652U, XM651U, XM650U, XM552U, and XM551U the factory calibrations are stored in the DEFAULT Color System. LightSpace and CalMAN Color System options are provided as additional memory placeholders to store custom end-user calibrations using LightIllusion (LightSpace / ColourSpace) or CalMAN calibration software. The GaiaColor selection is reserved for future development and should not be used at this time on XM WOLED displays. Please leave the ColorSystem set to Default unless you have specifically saved your own user-generated calibration LUTs to the LightSpace or CalMAN memory banks.
LUT Mode
Does not apply to GaiaColor Color System. In Default, LightSpace, or CalMAN modes select Normal or Advanced. Normal Mode enables both calibrations and looks LUT positions. Advanced Mode provides larger CLUT size support, but limits look LUT and ancillary feature support (e.g. scopes).
In Normal Mode 6 LUT positions are accessible at a time as follows:
Front DIT 1D LUT -> DIT 3D LUT -> Post DIT 1D LUT-> Front Calibration 1D LUT -> Calibration 3D LUT -> Post Calibration 1D LUT
In Normal Mode, all 1D LUTs are 4096 entry points using 12bit values in the Flanders.lut format and all 3D LUTs are 17x17x17.cube format using only the header  UT_3D_SIZE 17.
The DIT LUT positions should be used for technical transforms or look LUTs, calibration LUTs should normally only be stored in the Calibration LUT positions.
In Advanced Mode 3 LUT positions are accessible at a time as follows:
Front Calibration 1D LUT -> Calibration 3D LUT -> Post Calibration 1D LUT In Advanced Mode all 1D LUTs are 4096 entry points using 12bit values in the Flanders. lut format and the 3D LUT is 33x33x33.cube format using only the header LUT_3D_SIZE 33.
LUTs can be saved to the display using the IP Remote Utility. Application Note: LUTs are applied within the range active on the monitor’s color menu.

IP Reset
Re-enable DHCP after a static IP address has been used.
Clear Panel Noise
The Clear Panel Noise feature may help to alleviate various panel noise conditions, particularly severe burn-in conditions caused by displaying static, high contrast, content for extended periods of time.

Select On
The panel will display black and remain on for approximately 8 minutes.
After 8 minutes the monitor will automatically shut down.
After the unit shuts down please leave the monitor turned Off for 1 hour.
After 1 hour press the power button to turn the monitor back on.
The display will remain black for 15 seconds after boot up, then a white line will appear on the screen and slowly scan down the panel.
Once the scan is complete the monitor will automatically be ready for use.
this step may vary slightly depending on the specific model in use

Panel Dimming
When panel dimming is set to On the panel will automatically begin to dim after 2 mins of static color and/or shape is detected to help protect the panel from image retention. Panel dimming can be set to Off to disable this behavior and this may be particularly useful during calibration routines, but care should be taken to avoid the long-term display of static images.

Menu Set
Set menu to automatically disappear after 5s, 10s, or to stay On until manually cleared.
Status Set – Signal Status ID window
Select from On, Off, or 5-second display. When set to a 5-second display the monitor will display a signal status ID window for 5 seconds whenever an input button is pressed or signal format is changed. The first line of the signal status ID window shows the user selected primary input and video mode (default is Auto).
The second line shows the primary input’s detected bandwidth (e.g. 12G), resolution (e.g. 3840×2160), and scan type (e.g PsF). Please note that if your video mode is set to something besides a single wire format (e.g. Quad Link SDI) this second line will only show the detected bandwidth and resolution of the primary (selected) input. A quad link SDI UHD signal will therefore only indicate the resolution of the primary quadrant (HD) whereas a single 12G-SDI UHD signal will show 3840×2160 resolution. The third line indicates the frame rate, whether the signal is RGB or YCbCr, and the signal bit depth. Please note that this information is based on the received VPID. If VPID is incorrect or missing you may manually override using the Video Menu’s SDI format selection, but this line will continue to reflect signal type as indicated by VPID.

Removing Pedestal Feet

XM551U, XM650U, and XM651U have pedestal-style feet that can be removed when wall mounting.
The feet are held on by six screws per foot on the bottom.
