Davinci Resolve with Atomos Flame reference monitoring

Hi!
Can I connect Atomos Flame to my MBR Pro using HDMI and use it as a reference monitor (also for HDR)?
Thx.

I want to say no because as you can see from the link, the Flame series can only accept YUV 422 10 or 8 bit. Any Apple machine will be outputting RGB 444 8-bit (10-bit on some machine). Though it may be possible that the Atomos can do on the fly transcoding of an RGB 444 signal to YUV 422 but I simply have not tried.

I'm trying to figure out if the Atomos Ninja Flame can be used with the newly announced DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K as an HDR monitor.

The the 4K Decklink?
For monitoring FullHD is enough as the Ninja Flame is just 1920x1200px.

Yes you can.

I have a Ninja Flame that has gotten little use since purchase, and now that things have changed, and our little 2 person operation has stepped up our game a bit (no pun intended) we were looking to do some basic editing/grading of iPhone HDR footage using what we have.

I've searched for months on this subject with no success until I came across a video online that shows the exact steps to make it work.

I have successfully setup my Atomos Ninja Flame as a 4K HDR Reference monitor, and the results are spot on.

We don't have near the talent as most people here, but we do trust the scopes, not our eyes and at least we now know what our efforts look like until we can afford to spend more for better hardware.

No, you should definitely not be using the Ninja Flame as a portable HDR mastering monitor. It’s way too small, blacks are totally clipped, it’s not WCG (it is rec.709), don’t waste your time. Having said that, you’ll certainly want to calibrate the Flame prior to any experimentation!

If you however have to choose between a cheap hotel TV, the laptop and your calibrated Atomos,
it's the best choice of these 3. Just don't forget to trust your scopes.

But that is not the choice. And scopes cannot tell you how the image looks.

Heyo! I'd be interested in seeing that video if you can share the link? Thanks so much!

I tried to include the link in the post - but maybe I'm too new for that to be allowed? I'll try again

Cheers!
