Canon's DP-V3010 30" 4K Reference Display provides you with a stable, high-resolution display for you to review 4K footage during all phases of production and postproduction. It features two sets of four BNC connectors and four DisplayPort connectors for 3840 x 2160 graphics input. The monitor supports both DCI and UHD video at 10-bit and an IPS screen for good off-axis viewing. The 10-bit panel is DCI contrast and color compliant, allowing it to accurately display images with a wider palette than an 8-bit panel, providing you with a more accurate representation of your actual footage.

The monitor incorporates a variety of image enhancement functions such as Backlight Scanning and Shape Trace that allows you to adjust how the monitor displays your images. LUT support allows you to see an approximation of how your graded footage will look, which can help you zero in on your lighting. The controls normally found on the front panel of a monitor are instead found on a detachable control panel, allowing you to control the monitor's settings remotely. The timecode display allows you to accurately track your footage to confirm you are looking at the shot you want.

4K DCI/UHD Workflow

DCI 4K: The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display was designed to accept 4K inputs that conform with the digital sampling structure of 4096 (H) x 2160 (V) at 24, 25, 30, and 60 frames per second with a 1.896:1 aspect ratio (SMPTE ST 2048-1:2012).
UHD 4K: The DP-V3010 also accepts 4K inputs that conform to the alternative sampling structure 3840 (H) x 2160 (V) with a 16:9 aspect ratio at all standard frame rates up to 60P, known as ITU-R BT.2020 and SMPTE ST 2036-1:2009. This allows the DP-V3010 to be used in live 4K television productions. It can monitor live 4K motion imaging directly from camera systems that deliver real-time outputs via their 3G-SDI Quad interfaces, or it can view digital 4K recorded playback delivered from recorders via Quad 3G-SDI. The DP-V3010 can accept inputs from two separate 4K sources via eight 3G-SDI interfaces. Monitoring outputs for each are also included.

Design and Function

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display is designed for on set use in the studio, on remote locations, and in editorial and post-production environments. Convenient carrying handles allow the 30-inch display to be moved easily and positioned on top of a desk or a counter, or it can be wall/rack mounted. Easy-to-navigate on-screen commands can be controlled via the included Display Controller. The comprehensive Display Controller can be installed almost anywhere, and is designed for use both as a convenient desktop controller or rack-mounted for easy integration within DI suites, VFX suites, production control rooms and mobile applications. Control buttons are grouped into zones for easy operation, with rotary dials for intuitive operational adjustment of certain image parameters. The inclusion of multiple interfaces helps ensure that the DP-V3010 offers the type of flexibility operators need within a variety of production and post-production workflows.

DCI-Compliant Contrast Ratio

The monitor can achieve a contrast ratio of 2000:1, which is compliant with DCI standards.

4K ACES Support

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display supports the ACES (Academy Color Encoding System) color management standard (Version 1.0). It is capable of providing RAW format image de-bayering and IDT (input device transform), enabling the reference display to transfer RAW format images to the ACES color space, as well as supporting any source input that complies with ACESproxy.

ASC-CDL Format Support

Incorporating support for ASC-CDL (American Society of Cinematographers' Color Decision List) formats, the DP-V3010 4K Reference Display accepts color correction input directly using slope, offset, power and saturation parameter adjustments to the overall RGB image, and/or separately to the individual red, green and blue channels. It is also possible to save all and recall all CDL settings using a USB flash drive.

1D/3D LUT Support

The monitor supports direct importing of both 1D and 3D Look-up Tables (LUTs) for accurate and consistent color matching between individual displays, as well as using customized 'looks' that have been created by third-party color-grading applications. Multiple LUTS can be setup per picture mode giving users the ability to rapidly compare up to 8 different LUTs without having to change the picture mode.

Consistent Color Image Quality

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display utilizes built-in auto-correct functions that consistently monitor color, brightness, and other parameters that keep the display at a high level of uniformity at all times. These functions include the following:

• Precise Color Adjustment Prior to Shipment :In order to achieve high color uniformity, each DP-V3010 4K Reference Display undergoes a high-precision calibration process before shipping from the factory. External calibration allows users to maintain factory settings as well as make adjustments for specific display applications.
• Automatic Color and Brightness Correction System:A special control system within the DP-V3010 4K Reference Display constantly measures ambient lighting conditions, as well as internal display changes - including color temperature and brightness - to help reduce fluctuations in light levels and color, thereby helping to ensure long-term image stability and consistency.
• Calibration Without a PC: The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display can be calibrated easily and conveniently without the need for an external PC workstation. Using third-party external sensors, users can calibrate the display in accordance with viewing environment and application.

Backlight Scanning

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display's Backlight Scanning with full array RGB backlight allows individual backlight areas to be partially turned off. This feature helps reduce the image-hold period inherent to LED technology while images are being displayed, and results in crisp video playback without the perception of blurring between video frames. It also enhances static image contrast ratio.

Cinema EOS Canon Log Gamma Support

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display comes pre-installed with a Cinema EOS Canon Log viewing LUT (Look-up Table), enabling it to be integrated with a Cinema EOS digital camera in order to help provide optimal monitoring on location or within the studio.

Professional Display Functionality

The DP-V3010 4K Reference Display also supports a variety of key operational functions for cinematographers, DITs, videographers, and colorists, including the following:

• Markers
• Timecode
• I/P Conversion
• Monochrome
• Red/Green/Blue OFF
• Export/Import Settings
• Test Pattern
