The Lilliput BM281-4KS is a 28-inch monitor for broadcast, studio, director, and production applications. The large display with 3840 x 2160 pixels is suitable for image monitoring in camera, video, and multi-source workflows.
The monitor can be used with various signal sources such as professional cameras, camcorders, DSLR and system cameras, video mixers, or playback devices. The large 4K panel provides a clear view for directing, production, and technical image monitoring.
The BM281-4KS offers adjustable color space options such as Native, Rec.709, and custom settings. This allows the display to be adapted to different production requirements and workflows.
HDR support enables a more differentiated representation of bright and dark image areas. For color-critical applications, the monitor can be integrated into suitable calibration and color management workflows.
The integrated 3D LUT function allows loading custom .cube files via USB. This enables different looks, preview LUTs, or customized color profiles to be used directly on the monitor.
This function supports camera and production teams in evaluating log footage and monitoring the desired image look during production.
The monitor offers various inputs, including 3G-SDI with loop output, HDMI 2.0, HDMI 1.4, DVI, VGA, and a tally connection. This allows the BM281-4KS to be used flexibly in broadcast, studio, and production environments.
The Quad-View function enables the simultaneous display of multiple input signals. This is useful for multi-camera productions, directing applications, or setups with multiple playback sources.
Various monitoring and assist functions are available for image control, including Focus Peaking, False Color, audio level display, Waveform, Histogram, exposure functions, Check Field, timecode display, markers, and Quad-View.
Frequently needed tools can be quickly accessed via freely assignable function buttons. A rotary control simplifies the adjustment of important image and audio parameters directly on the monitor.
The BM281-4KS offers connection options for mobile and stationary applications. These include a V-Lock battery connection, an XLR power connector, and VESA 75/100 mm mounting holes.
For audio monitoring, stereo audio connections, integrated speakers, and a headphone output are available. Depending on the application, the monitor can be used in the studio, at the director's position, on location, or in mobile production environments.
Optionally available tripod mounts further expand the deployment options of the monitor.

Questions & Answers▲
What is the screen size and native resolution of the Lilliput BM281-4KS?
The BM281-4KS features a 28-inch display with a native resolution of 3840×2160 pixels, delivering true 4K image quality for critical monitoring in professional broadcast and field production environments.
Does the monitor support 10-bit color depth?
Yes, the BM281-4KS processes images at 10-bit color depth, which allows for smoother gradations and more accurate color reproduction compared to standard 8-bit displays, making it suitable for professional color evaluation.
Which color spaces are available on this monitor?
The monitor offers selectable color space options including Native, Rec.709, and three user-defined settings. It also supports the PROLTE version of ColorSpace CMS by Light Illusion for precise color space management and calibration workflows.
Does the BM281-4KS support High Dynamic Range (HDR)?
Yes, HDR functionality is built in. When activated, it reproduces a greater luminosity range, displaying both highlight and shadow details more clearly and delivering sharper images with richer colors compared to standard display modes.
What 3D LUT capabilities does this monitor offer?
The BM281-4KS includes built-in 3D LUT processing with three user-configurable log slots. Custom .cube files can be loaded via USB flash drive, allowing cinematographers and colorists to apply and preview color grades in real-time during production.
Is it possible to load custom LUT files onto the monitor?
Yes, custom .cube LUT files can be imported directly onto the monitor using a USB flash drive. This enables personalized color correction looks and consistent color management across different shooting conditions without requiring external software.
Does the monitor support 3G-SDI input?
Yes, the BM281-4KS is equipped with 3G-SDI connectivity, making it compatible with professional broadcast cameras and signal chains commonly used in studio and field production environments.
What is the Quad View function and how is it useful on set?
The Quad View function divides the screen into four sections, allowing operators to monitor up to four input sources simultaneously on a single display. This is particularly useful for multi-camera productions where directors or operators need an overview of all feeds at once.
Is the BM281-4KS designed for portable field use?
Yes, the monitor is described as a carry-on broadcast director monitor, meaning it is designed with portability in mind for field production alongside professional camcorders and DSLR cameras, while still offering the feature set expected in broadcast-quality monitoring.
Is this monitor suitable for use with DSLR cameras as well as professional broadcast camcorders?
Yes, the BM281-4KS is explicitly designed for use with both professional broadcast camcorders and DSLR cameras, covering a wide range of video and photography production workflows that require reliable 4K monitoring on location.
