Hello,
First off, apologies if this is stupid simple, I'm just not understanding this. Basically, I want to calibrate the image out of my Decklink Mini Monitor - which is going to a 60" LCD. I know it's not a perfect color grading monitor in any way, but thats just not affordable for me at the moment - and I'd rather be in some ballpark of accurate than not at all.
I'm not understanding how best to color grade the image out of the Decklink. For my PC, I have both screens (1440p IPS main, 60" LCD secondary) color calibrated with a Spyder 5. But it can't use the color profile of the Spyder when it's going through the Decklink. My TV doesn't seem to have enough color control - or it just doesn't seem to be working to calibrate it straight from the TV (tried matching grey IRE levels in davinci and changing levels of IRE white balance in the TV color calibration settings, they don't seem to be accurate to what I'm sending) and there's no luminance control except blanket contrast, brightness and backlight.
Wondering if anyone can help me out, I've looked at 3D LUTs which seem to be the way to go, but I just can't wrap my head around how they work. I've looked at Calman Studio and think that might be a solution - but it's not compatible with my Spyder 5 it seems. The Calman Studio Express bundle with the XRite I1Display would be doable, but is that the best solution?
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!
