I have looked everywhere but I can’t find help for this… Is there a detailed ”idiot’s guide” on how to setup and calibrate my workstation for video production (not photo)…? I only produce corporate stuff and videos for Vimeo, and I am never quite pleased with the results, even though I consider myself a half decent colorist…
1 - My Eizo ColorEdge CG319X is hooked up via HDMI to a Decklink Mini 4K and has a built-in calibration device… But then I can only view content on the Eizo when I use Resolve, how can I calibrate it with Color Navigator then…?
2 - In Davinci there are slots to insert monitoring luts, do I need to do that…?
3 - After my attempts at calibration, it still says on the Eizo that the input signal is Limited Range, shouldn’t it say Full…? Isn’t the signal from the Decklink Mini supposed to be full, 10 bit…? How do I change that setting out of the Decklink?
4 - I think it is almost impossible to nail contrast because the recommended setting of 120 nits is so dim… In youtube tutorials (like Waqas Qazi), his reference monitor seems way brighter and more vibrant… My Eizo is so dim and dull at 120 nits so that it feels more like a lucky accident if I get the image looking right… Is there some setting that I should look at to fix this…?
