4K Grading & Monitoring
-
Hi Juan,
We are using a 2K Barco and or a Dolby so we can set it to 4K, but we only see 2K worth of the image if that makes any sense. We are using a cubix and a cyclone as well.

I meant how are you feeding the 4k signal out of Resolve, but it sounds like you’re feeding 2k. I don’t know if I’d call that real time 4k, but it does show the potential is there. Once the hardware (i.e. interface cards) catch up.

And you’re on Mac OS with an Apple Mac or Hackintosh? Windows?

Correct it is really 2K 444…We are feeding projector with a DeckLink HD Extreme 3D, but it is playing back in real time with full frame F65 MXF footage. (sorry should have been more clear)

So what ?
The question right now is how to feed REAL 4K into it.
So far I only saw Scratch doing that with a PLEX.A slice of color…

Sascha I was was just making people aware that we are doing what Daniel originally proposed up to the point in the pipe line where it is feasible. Might I ask what is your point of feeding a 4K signal vs. a 2K 4444 into a 2K projector or do you already have a 4K projector?
Odor we are on a Factory MAC with a Cubix feeding a Cyclone.

I have access to one that has a 4K projector, yes.
Also one of our local cinemas does now.
I feel the player in town who can provide a full 4K pipeline first can snatch some candy.A slice of color…

On the other hand, monitoring in 4k is kind of useless. I mean, it looks good and everything, but how important is it for making critical color decisions? Lots of other factors, like color gamut and consistency, calibration, etc., are much more important.
Of course, being able to generate 4k deliverables is very nice, but that doesn’t mean you have to monitor in 4k while you grade.

True Joakim. Plus the fact that most of us still only output to HD. In a few years my dept. has to be able to push to real 4K projectors so hoping things change for the better then.

Because I also work on VFX heavy productions, and those guys who worked hard on making every pixel awesome would really be disappointed if they can only see 25% of it 🙂
On the camera side, i agree.
I haven’t seen much worth shooting in 4K so far.A slice of color…
