Advantages of Breakout Box?

[Shane Ross]

[sam broggs] “I am able to calibrate the monitor via colormunki display and use it with Premiere and Avid to monitor my material.”

That is a COMPUTER DISPLAY SIGNAL that is being sent out of the computer, not a proper video signal…REV709 or no. It’s CLOSE… It’s fine for a client monitor, to have a big screen to look at the image full screen. But it isn’t completely color accurate. With the Avid software, it’s closer than not…

[sam broggs] “so it should be perfect for broadcast use.
In Europe I am using PAL with 25p or 50i.”

As I stated, it won’t display interlacing properly, so 50i won’t show both fields, only one. Computer signals don’t do interlacing.

[sam broggs] “I just want to know: Is a box like the Blackmagic Ultrastudio Monitor just useful for Davinci Resolve or do I have any advantages while editing with Avid or Premiere?”

It’s useful in all three. You get a proper video signal out of all NLE’s with that. Interlacing and all.

[sam broggs] “Is editing, monitoring or rendering faster? “

Nothing is boosted, in terms of video processing or rendering. The IO boxes only add proper external video monitoring.

[sam broggs] “Is color correction more accurate?”

Yes.

Thanks Shane!
Can you tell me: Is it still possible to calibrate the monitor with hardware like colormunki or spyder?
They manipulate the settings in the color management of my apple monitors.. so is it still possible with a breakout box?
