3/26/2023 0 Comments Displaycal for macThanks all, I've tried some things and have some questions.ġ) I've recalibrated the Resolve -> Ultrastudio -> external monitor according to the instructions from Displa圜al ( ). So you ignore the bit about CN7 and you replace the CG247X with the BMD box, make sure the Dell is wide gamut/native. You can follow the video I created for EIZO with the CG247X which shows how to create a lut to calibrate the CG247X with the lut scaled. But your video streaming on the Mac screen will not be colour managed, so if you want to check quality you need to use it throught the lut box to the Dell. As said before, Resolve can use the generic Mac icc profiles and these may match OK, but this would be just luck. As for the Mac screen, the only way is to use DCal to create a 3D lut and load it into the Resolve colour management. So when you connect your Mac, you need to ensure the output is also legal/video/limited otherwise you will have scaling errors with the lut and you need to ensure the Dell is also set for legal range. If you are using legal/video levels which is normal, then you need to scale the lut before loading into the lut box. You use Displa圜al to create a 3D lut and load into the lut box. You can take HDMI out from your Ultrastudio to feed the monitor and then swap to the HDMI from your Mac. So in your circumstances, I would use a LUT box like the BMD Bidirectional Converter. The post workflow requires a different approach usually with 3D luts, but also with a 1D lut and matrix hardware calibration but only if the monitor is linear and your Dell would not be linear I reckon, so you need to use a 3D lut. There are other aspects but this is the basic premise. OS colour management uses icc profiles and for those profiles to work, the application must be a colour managed application that can apply the profile, Resolve is NOT a colour managed app in this way. You need to uderstand the differences between the OS colour management and post production with a device such as Ultrastudio. I'm an amateur and I use Resolve for grading my videos, but I also use the computer as my personal computer and I'd like to have the calibrations all similar so that when I'm watching Netflix for a few hours I'm not calibrating my eyes to something different than how I should be grading in Resolve. My goal is to get the three configurations to all be calibrated and to match. I'd imagine that calibrating the display for the Ultrastudio would be a different process than for the OS when it is directly driving the displays. (The YouTube tutorials I found weren't great at all and google didn't provide anything that seemed straight-forwards either). Is the best way simply to use Displa圜AL for all the calibrations? If that's the case, then I'd be happy to just follow along with a tutorial or guide of some kind if you can link to one. I'm sure how I did it wasn't right so I'm happy to re-do it properly. Really I'm not sure the best way to do it, and when I did it previously I didn't really know what I was doing and I can't remember the details of how I did it, so I'm happy to hear your recommendations. What approach should I use for calibrating these three combinations? and is there any reference articles or tutorials you'd recommend? I worked out Displa圜al myself watching a few YouTube tutorials but it wasn't ideal and I'd prefer something more detailed that I can just work my way through.Ĭlick to expand.Thanks for replying Stuart, I've previously calibrated Resolve using Displa圜al and both OS displays using the XRite software, and while I thought that I did it correctly (and aiming for the same settings) the brightness was waaaay different, with the Ultrastudio feed from Resolve displaying images several stops brighter than the OS would do. I understand that the calibration of the OS won't be exact, which is fine, near enough is good enough. I use the external display through the OS to watch streaming content so that's important to me as well as that's how I see a lot of reference material. I'm looking for recommendations on the best way (and some reference materials) to properly calibrate 1) the external display from Resolve through the UltraStudio, 2) the same external display when used by the OS, and 3) the panel on the MacBook Pro laptop itself. My workflow is only 1080p Rec709, not HDR, so the Dell easily has full coverage. My external monitor is a Dell UltraSharp UP3216Q 31.5" Monitor. I use resolve on a MacBook Pro and have an Ultrastudio 3G going to an external display.
