No soft Luts, straight HD broadcast Rec 709 in and out, monitoring with either a Panny BTLH 2550 or my Eizo Lut calibrated Rec 709 through Hdlink displayport.

[stig olsen] “mojo dx or nitris?”

Blackmagic Decklink Extreme on my system and Nitris from the Online system.
We do not work with LUTs as this is a straight-through Legal Video workflow, avoiding RGB as much as possible. FX house was working in AE and exporting ProRes4444 which resulted in some LInear/RGB discrepancies but we put a halt to that.

You mean “Old Ben”? Ben Kenobi?

Ok, my Avid is connected to Mojo DX.

You can download the MXF file and some prints from Avid on this link – https://www.filemail.com/dl.aspx?id=QLTNMBQGJZFBREN

I did try to import it back to Resolve and that worked great. But in Avid, the monitor shows a dull and flat image.

Thanks for helping me!

A test I’d run quickly, especially if you’re outputting in target mode, is to test render a prores file and link it through AMA. Just to see what happens on your system. Also, is there a weird chance that you avid is somehow adding setup? Or doing something weird on output?

Makes me dream of a universally accepted open source mezzanine codec…

Hi Joseph,

I have tried that, and as for the MXF-default-avid setup, it only let you render in source mode.
i have also tried prores with AMA and changed to the source settings to both native and full.

There is no option in Avid that let you output with any gamma corrections.
The only thing is that if you output through Nitris – it is possible to output full RGB. This is not a possibility to me as I output through Mojo DX. (normal range)

Sorry guys, I just found out what was wrong…

One of the SDI inputs on my new OLED-monitor is causing the problem.
So, I guess this will be returned and fixed.
I also had a guy over from Sony some weeks ago that did calibrate the monitor that was connected to this input. Guess he will need to come back…

Thank you very much for all the help, I really appreciate it – although it was not a Avid-problem this time!

Hi Stig, just got back to work and I am glad to see that it was not an Avid or Resolve issue.
Good luck
