(www.eizo.com) has introduced the ColorEdge CS2731, a new 27-inch color management monitor. The monitor (which succeeds the CS2730) is the first in the ColorEdge lineup to feature USB Type-C connectivity with 60 watt power delivery. With a single USB Type-C cable, users can display video, transmit USB sig- nals, and supply power to a connected device, such as a smartphone or notebook PC. The USB Type-C terminal supplies up to 60 watts of power, so even high-end notebook PCs stay charged while working. This eliminates the need for an additional external AC adapter and streamlines the creative workspace. The 27-inch screen has a native resolution of 2560x1440 and its wide color gamut reproduces 99 percent of the Adobe RGB color space. To counter fluc- tuations in brightness and the chromaticity characteristic of LCD monitors, Eizo's digital uniformity equalizer (DUE) corrects deviations in every tone across the screen for stable display. The ColorEdge CS2731 supports the company's ColorNavigator 7 color management software, so users can regularly calibrate and quality control their monitor quickly and reliably for predictable color results. It also supports Eizo's Quick Color Match software, which simplifies the screen-to-print color matching process into just a few steps. The ColorEdge CS2731 began shipping the 1st quarter of 2020.

LUMA TOUCH EXTENDS EDIT WORKFLOW TO FCPX SEATTLE — Luma Touch (www.luma-touch.com) has announced support for XML export to Apple Final Cut Pro X (FCPX). With this new feature, LumaFusion for iOS significantly extends workflow options for LumaFusion editors, and will transform the workflow for the FCPX community of editors, artists and content creators who are looking to expand their desktop editing experience to the iPad. LumaFusion is an iOS editing app for mobile filmmakers, journalists, profes- sional editors, YouTube creators and aspiring content producers. For editors familiar with FCPX, the new XML export feature will enable them to easily extend their LumaFusion timeline to continue editing on FCPX on the desktop. This is valuable to content creators who want the flexibility to edit from on-set/ on-location, but also want the option to further develop their projects on the desktop using FCPX. To export a timeline from LumaFusion to FCPX, users can simply tap the share/export menu and select "XML Project Package." A streamlined menu enables editors to select a target location for media (e.g., AirDrop to a laptop or desktop). Users then select whether or not to include media in the project package, then tap "export." A .zip file is packaged and sent to the destination of choice (laptop or desktop) and is ready to be opened directly in FCPX for additional editing. The Export to FCPX feature is available as a one-time, in-app purchase, and as part of the LumaFusion 2.2 update. It is priced at $19.99. LumaFusion is avail- able for download in the Apple App Store and is priced at $29.99.
