EIZO ColorEdge CG3100X 4K 30.5in Hardware Calibration LCD IPS Monitor

Built-In Sensor to Automate Your Workflow

The monitor's built-in sensor can be set to calibrate the monitor automatically at designated times. This eliminates the need for a third-party calibration device and ensures your screen stays color-accurate. In addition, the sensor swings onto the screen, taking up minimal space and allowing you to continue working even during calibration.

Color Navigator 7 Color Management Software

EIZO's proprietary free ColorNavigator 7 software is the complete color management solution for reliable calibration and quality control of ColorEdge monitors. It offers multiple preset color modes, simultaneous calibration of all modes, and automatic recalibration to ensure consistent color accuracy. It also allows calibration targets to be set for brightness, white point, gamma (EOTF), and color gamut for more fine-tuned control.

ColorNavigator Network Quality Control Software

EIZO's ColorNavigator Network provides centralized quality control of ColorEdge monitors for studios with multiple creators and editors working on shared projects. An administrator can set the color modes, schedule automatic self-calibration for monitors with built-in sensors, register or adjust asset management settings, and more - all carried out remotely over the network. For large-scale projects, this ensures that the appropriate color standards are used at every step and saves hundreds of hours spent on calibration and maintenance.

DCI 4K Resolution

The CG3100X displays at DCI 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) which is more than four times that of Full HD (1920 x 1080). This makes it an optimal solution for creating, editing, and referencing 2D and 3D CGI, VFX, compositing, and color grading.

Sync Signal

The monitor's Sync Signal function automatically switches the color settings - brightness, gamma (EOTF), and color gamut - according to the metadata of the input signal. This eliminates the need to manually switch color settings when working on multiple projects, so users can be confident that they are always working with the correct settings.

HDR Gamma Support

For HDR content, the monitor supports the gamma (EOTF) compatible hybrid log-gamma (HLG) transfer function for broadcasting and perceptual quantization (PQ) curve for production of films and streamed content. Additionally, users can set any camera log using ColorNavigator 7 to view the camera log video on the monitor during filming.

Vivid Colors Reproduced to Industry Standards

The monitor's wide color gamut covers 99% of the DCI-P3 standard used in digital cinema and supports the BT.2020 standard used in broadcasting for exceptionally faithful reproduction of color. It also covers 97% of the Adobe RGB color space so images and video shot in Adobe RGB will be displayed correctly. Color mode presets can easily be changed via the switches on the front of the monitor, enabling straightforward color management for each project.

Pixel Inspection

Working within the wrong parameters affects editing decisions, potentially requiring significant rework of projects and causing costly delays in production schedules. Pixel Inspection, operated through the monitor's OSD, shows the color information of a pixel from the source input data and the data as it is displayed on the monitor.

3D LUT for Accurate Color Display

The monitor is equipped with a 3D LUT (look-up table) which adjusts colors on an RGB cubic table. Using ColorNavigator 7's film emulation function, users can emulate film color properties using a 3D LUT file.

10-Bit Simultaneous Display

The monitor offers 10-bit simultaneous display* from a 24-bit look-up-table (LUT) which means it can show more than one billion colors simultaneously. This is 64 times more colors than you get with 8-bit display, resulting in smooth color gradations and reduced Delta-E between two adjacent colors.

Broadcast and Cinema Presets

This monitor contains several presets such as DCI-P3 for digital cinema and Rec. 709 or Rec. 2020 for broadcasting. It also has PQ (DCI and Rec. 2100) or HLG (Rec. 2100) for HDR contents. These presets helps you work in the appropriate color spaces and gamma values without having to manually adjust the color settings.

Luminance Warning

The PQ Option function allows you to check PQ content at any brightness level and shows the areas of the image that are clipped when displayed at a specified brightness level. These areas are marked in yellow or magenta to easily distinguish them within the image.

Safe Area Marker

The CG3100X features a marker function to ensure that content, such as text or graphics, is properly positioned on the screen. The Safe Area Marker marks an area of the screen within which captions or other information will appear to ensure they are visible during broadcast. The position and size of the markers can be specified to suit the current project.

4K Zoom Function

The 4K zoom function allows users to enlarge areas of the screen to check fine details and accuracy of the focus in the scene. This function is quickly and easily accessible using the monitor's front switches.

BT.709 Out-of-Gamut Warning

The monitor includes a Gamut Warning mode that indicates areas of a BT.2020 image that cannot be reproduced in the BT.709 color space, which is the standard for Full HD broadcasts, by displaying them in shades of gray. An additional mode called BT.709 Clipping allows the editor to view BT.2020 images within the BT.709 color space, simulating how it would look in an HDTV environment.

Exact color reproduction – factory calibration

The gamma level for each ColorEdge monitor is adjusted at the factory by measuring the R, G, and B gamma values from 0 - 1023. The monitor's 24-bit look-up-table (LUT) is then used to select the 1024 most appropriate tones and achieve the desired value. This ensures the smoothest color gradations in your images.

Stable Display Using Industry-First AI

The color and brightness of an LCD monitor can shift due to changes in ambient temperature. ColorEdge CG Series monitors are equipped with a temperature sensor that measures the temperature inside the monitor and estimates the ambient room temperature. Using this technology, the monitor adjusts in real time to maintain accurate gradation, color, brightness, and other characteristics.

In addition, the monitor uses AI (Artificial Intelligence) in its estimation algorithm to detect and distinguish patterns in temperature changes for more precise calculations to ensure stable and accurate display.

Stable Color in Just 3 Minutes

A typical monitor takes 30 minutes or more for its brightness, chromaticity, and tone characteristics to stabilize. ColorEdge monitors take a mere 3 minutes* so you get reliable color display soon after turning the monitor on.

Constant tone value over the entire screen

Digital Uniformity Equalizer (DUE) controls all tone values over the entire monitor, pixel by pixel. The effect: colour tones appear identical at each point on the screen, without the brightness fluctuations you experience in conventional LCDs. The DUE function also balances out the effects of fluctuations in ambient temperature on the colour temperature and brightness. You will enjoy consistently even luminance distribution and perfect colour purity. A real plus when touching-up images.

Minimized Reflections with Non-Glare Panel

The IPS panel has optimal anti-glare coating. It diffuses the reflected light to minimise glare, protecting your eyes from strain.

DCI 4K/60p Support

The CG3100X features a sleek design with punched metal on the back, enhancing airflow for effective heat management. Its internal fan operates at just 20 dB, ensuring a quiet workstation environment.

FRL Support for High-Speed Transmission

The CG3100X supports Fixed Rate Link (FRL), the latest signal technology supported in the latest HDMI specification. FRL is required to receive 12-bit signals, handle higher uncompressed high-resolution data, such as 4K, and take advantage of high-speed bandwidths for compressed video transport over an HDMI connection. The monitor comes bundled with an Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable for reliable 4K performance.

5-Year Warranty

In addition to the high demands placed on production and materials, EIZO also places the emphasis on quality assurance in all areas.

Color and brightness warranty

The monitor has a color and brightness warranty from the purchase date for a maximum of 10,000 hours of operation at a maximum brightness of 120cd/sq m and a color temperature of between 5,000 and 6,500 K.

Certified for Quality and Performance

The monitor is recognized by Fogra as a Class A FograCert Softproof Monitor. Using it in a FograCert Softproofing System ensures designers, print specifiers, and print producers can rely on the soft proof for predictable and consistent results.
