At IBC 2023, we visited the SWIT booth and had a look at their 31.5″ 4K-capable mini-LED flagship monitor which got upgraded with 4K ST2110 IP protocol. Also new at this year’s IBC was the CIMO series of V-mount batteries ranging from 98Wh up to 290Wh with USB and D-Tap outputs.

SWIT’s Marketing manager Nikolaus Yang showed us the BM-U326MD 4K monitor which they initially introduced at NAB this year, which now also features IP protocol.

8K-capable mini-LED HDR 4K monitor
The BM-326MD features a 4K UHD mini-LED panel with 2304 local dimming zones that result in a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio that is comparable with OLED screens. But in this case, the big advantage of mini-LED technology is the achievable peak brightness of 1500 nits. Those specs make this monitor HDR capable.

Camera signals with up to 8K resolution (SQD or 2-SI) can be fed to the monitor using up to 4x 12G SDI inputs. There is also 1x HDMI 2.0 input and 4x SDI outputs. Up to 4 signals can be displayed at the same time in a multiview mode as well.

What’s special about this model are the dual SFP LAN inputs on the monitor that allow for instant signal switching without latency in case of signal loss.

The monitor has an active cooling system which is required for such a capable panel. Power consumption is rated at 250 watts. As a result of that, there are no battery power options available.
