In Stock
The DM242 is a true successor to our bestselling DM240 and DM241 monitors featuring 20% higher contrast than the DM240 and 63% higher contrast than the DM241. With a 10bit panel, the ability to warmup and stabilize almost instantaneously, and a durable all metal chassis the DM242 is well suited to fast-paced and color-critical applications in production, post-production, and broadcast environments.
Its specialized toolset is incredibly well suited for dynamic on set color management applications as well as the most demanding post production environments. This unit is equipped with 3G/Dual-Link/HD/SD-SDI, DVI-D, and Display Port Inputs. The DM242 offers support for virtually any signal format including advanced 12-bit, 4:4:4, and XYZ signal formats. What sets the DM242 apart from other monitors are its 3rd generation Color Fidelity Engine (CFE3), dedicated 2nd screen outputs, Image Flip, Display Port to SDI cross conversion, and zero-delay processing mode.
DM Series Color Management
FSI’s 3rd generation Color Fidelity and LUT Interpolation Engine (CFE3) houses a multitude of calibration and Look LUT memories for highly accurate color reproduction and effective look management. Instantly select from Rec709, EBU, SMPTE-C, DCI P3, Rec2020 Emulation*, Native Wide Gamut, and Custom User Generated color spaces.
*Does not fully cover Rec2020 color space.
Additional gamma, peak luminance, and color temperature toggles further add to the versatility of DM Series Monitors.
DM series monitors support video range, extended range, and full range monitoring with simple menu based toggles.
CFE3 features industry leading tetrahedral LUT interpolation for greater accuracy and visual performance than hardware utilizing trilinear LUT interpolation.

Calibration
FSI monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory and free recalibration is always available for customers that would like to send their units in to an FSI service department.
DM series monitors support highly accurate volumetric Auto Calibration. Simply plug a supported probe directly into the monitor and the advanced AutoCal program will profile the monitor and use volumetric data to accurately target a very wide variety of available color management selections. 3D and 1D LUTs are calculated and saved on the fly as color management selections on the monitor are made, making for one simple and unified calibration routine, all without requiring a computer.
DM series monitors are also fully compatible with popular 3rd party calibration solutions including Calman, LightSpace, and ColourSpace. Quickly and easily perform your own custom 3D LUT based calibration with any program capable of saving into FSI’s calibration LUT format.
Software Integration
Powerful DM series features are supported by select applications including FSI’s DM Series IP Remote Utility, Pomfort’s Livegrade Pro, QTake's Grade Module, and Assimilate Live Assist and Live Looks.
-
Advanced Real Time Waveform & Vectorscope
Real Time Waveform and Vectorscope that update every frame. Scope position, background, size, and scale can be adjusted independently using the rotary knobs on the face of the monitor. Real Time scopes work in all processing modes including Zero Delay Fast Mode.
-
ScopeStream
The world's first real-time Waveform and Vectorscope transmitted directly from your monitor to your computer with no additional equipment needed.
-
Frame Capture
Capture and save full resolution reference still frames from incoming video signals with FSI's free IP Remote Utility.
-
Second Screen Output
Mirror what you see on screen to downstream equipment. Apply LUTs on DM Series monitors and other downstream monitors simultaneously. Second screen outputs work in addition to standard loop through outputs allowing you to simultaneously output clean and manipulated images.
-
Image Flip
Quickly toggle through available modes including: Vertical, Horizontal, and Vertical + Horizontal. Image Flip works on all inputs and is mirrored downstream via second screen output.
-
Zero Delay Fast Mode
Zero Delay Fast Mode makes DM Series monitors an ideal choice for applications requiring instantaneous video processing speed in on-set, studio, and post environments. When activated, the total latency between receipt of signal and onscreen display is less than 1 field.
-
Cross Conversion
DM Series monitors come equipped with cross conversion capability. This allows you take DisplayPort / HDMI / DVI signals and convert them to SDI for output.
-
3rd Generation Focus Assist
When activated this feature will highlight in focus areas with a trace color. The sensitivity, weight (transparency), and color can be adjusted using the rotary knobs. Select from White, Black, Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Magenta, and Cyan.
-
Look / DIT LUTs
Upload and store up to 16 3D Look / DIT LUTs and instantly toggle between them using the up and down buttons.
