Using DeckLink Mini Monitor in PP WS for 10bit Monitor
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 10:29 am
Hello everyone,
independent filmmaker on a budget here, looking to build a Windows Editing Workstation for Premiere Pro. Apologies in advance for this total basic question, but I couldn't really find an answer online.
Now, I got one of your nice BMPCCs which does recorde 10bit ProRes (or even 12bit RAW), so now I'm looking into an affordable 10bit editing solution.
I settled on the BenQ PG2401PT monitor which does have a 10bit panel. But to take advantage of that, you need your computer to output 10 bit, right? You can of course do that with a quadro, but they are very expensive. But I've heard, that you can apparently use a much cheaper GeForce GTX for playback and render in 10bit and then a DeckLink Mini Monitor to output 10bit... so I have two questions:
1. If I build a Windows PC, put in a GTX 1070 and a DeckLink Mini Monitor, will that work for 10 bit output?
2. Does that output translate over HDMI to the BenQ PG2401PT?
