FSI V/VP 310

Hi guys,

just about to order a new monitor to upgrade from my DM220. I was testing the Asus PA32UDCM for a little while and while I loved the panel, the quality control and firmware from Asus made it unusable in a serious grading environment. Now to my question:

Since I have a BMD Bidirectional 12G SDI to HDMI adapter running from my Ultrastudio 4k Mini to my Asus, I was wondering if skipping the SDI connection with the FSI V310 would be possible. Variation with SDI (VP310) costs 2000€ more and I do not need the looping/long cables etc... FSI ensured me the data pass through of the signal is the same over HDMI as it is SDI. Are there any caveats I need to be aware of when it comes to color? Cause I cannot think of a good enough reason to spend that money, just to have SDI (although I prefer it).

Is there any difference in color/calibration process or possible issues with that?

Best,
Philipp

I would verify that the HDMI is bit-perfect vs SDI.
Unfortunately, many pro SDI monitors have second-rate HDMI inputs.
I an not saying the FSI does have issues - but I would want to see verified proof.
(We have not seen the new V/VP series to test.)
And that would include EDID and InfoFrame handling, etc. - the things that often trip-up HDMI signal handling.
