Quick Setup & Connection Guide
Connect Your Inputs
Connect your signal to either the 3G-SDI IN or 12G-SDI IN connectors.
Select Input (3G-SDI)
If using 3G-SDI:
- Press the front key to select full-screen input
- F1 → IN 1
- F2 → IN 2
Configure 12G-SDI (If Applicable)
If using 12G-SDI:
- Access the MOD OSD menu
- Configure 12G-SDI inputs (see Manual, page 11).
Switch Viewing Modes
Press F1, F2, F3 or F4 to switch between full screen inputs mode.
Press F1, F2, F3 or F4 lighted green front key again to switch back to QUAD-MODE view.
Factory Calibration Ready
Your monitor is factory calibrated:
- REC.709
- Gamma 2.4
- 6500K color temperature
- ~160 nits brightness
FAQ
Quick Monitor Calibration Guide
Our go-to approach to deliver maximum accuracy across our PLUMA monitors:
Warmup
Thermal Stabilization of 45-minute warm-up using a dynamic pattern pre-roll to ensure the panel and the K-10 reach perfect equilibrium.
Controlled Environment
Dark room, K-10 probe, and reference patterns via pattern generator.
Luminance Target
We set the Peak White (e.g., 100 nits for SDR or 1000 nits for HDR) as the very first step, ensuring the 3D LUT is built on a stable and standardized brightness foundation.
Black Level (Brightness)
Using PLUGE patterns, adjusting according to the reference and verifying across multiple patterns.
White Level (Contrast)
Set using superwhite patterns, pushing until clipping, then stepping back slightly.
White Balance
Calibrating 6500K / 5600K / 9300K and storing the values.
Volumetric Profiling
Using Light Illusion to mathematically characterize the display's full colour volume, generating precision 3D LUTs for Rec.709, PQ, HLG, and SLog3...
Final Check
Revisiting all LUTs and validating that everything behaves as expected.
Our PLUMA monitors are fully integrated with Light Illusion, and a Lite version of the software is available specifically for our users. Their website is a great resource with plenty of useful guides and insights: Light Illusion.
