Easy step up from desktop monitor using Decklink Studio 4K?

PostThu Jul 08, 2021 4:45 pm

Hi, I'd love to finally get a more accurate look at color since I'm shooting and editing more video in Resolve now. I'm not an experienced Resolve user by any means, but I understand that what I see on my basic desktop monitor isn't very accurate.

I have a DeckLink studio 4K card in my PC, which I originally bought for capture from my Blackmagic Ursa Mini Pro, but I realize now that the card could also output a reference signal.

So my question is what would be the easiest solution (let's say under $2000) to monitor my color grading? My timelines are usually 4K at 60fps but I understand that may not be realistic in my budget.

I'm also confused as to whether I'll still need some sort of converter between my DeckLink card and the monitor.

Thanks!
Nathan

No replies here? What's wrong -- shouldn't this topic be a popular one for many folks?
