Hello everyone,
I have a problem monitoring out of Davinci Resolve (14.2 Studio) via my UltraStudio Mini Monitor. My external monitor ist a 1080p Samsung television, which is color calibrated via DisplayCAL and working okay, for what it is. I created a monitoring LUT for DR with DisplayCAL and applied it in the 3D Video Monitor Lookup Table slot in the Color Management section. My UltraStudio Mini Monitor is connected through TB out of my MacBookPro (OSX 10.13.2) to HDMI into the Samsung.
Now several issues occur on that external screen. As both, the Samsung and the UltraStudio Mini Monitor, can display 1080p maximal resolution, in the Video Monitoring preferences 1080p monitoring format is set accordingly.
The following happens:
- Working on a 2.7k (GoPro footage) timeline, on the external Samsung the footage is not displayed full screen in 1080, but shows a zoomed in 2.7k equivalent (center crop). If I lower the timeline resolution to 1080 everything is allright, proportionally. If I, however, set the Video monitoring format to something lower, e. g. 720p and so on, the footage will be zoomed in even further
- Contrast and brightness are way off. Compared to the timeline preview the Samsung is way too bright and lacks contrast. If I open any project in FinalCutPro X the external preview is the same as in the timeline preview, as one would expect. So there must be something wrong with my DR settings, I guess, because monitoring (in FCP X) works in general.
I followed part 1 & 2 of a Youtube tutorial Affordable Monitoring in Resolve by midphase to set up everything (I’m not allowed to post URLs). Any further advice would be highly appreciated.
