calibrating external monitor
Hi,
Trying to calibrate my external monitor and have a couple of questions.
1. Read a few different solutions on how to do it from various places and wondered if anyone had a preference?
2. Once you’ve calibrated it with say 1080 50i colorbars would you then have to re calibrate if your next project was SD?
Many Thanks, Matt

Blue Only and set the bars accordingly.

Most likely.

Does it matter setting the Pluge bars with blue only after i’ve set the chroma and hue? or should i do the brightness and contrast first then the chroma?
I’m possible making this way more tricky than it is?
Cheers, Matt

You should set the brightness, then set the contrast, then set the color.
The FCP and Color manuals give a good step by step.

well this is where a MXO series product is nice – it can color manage the display and SD or HD, it doesn’t matter. it also means you can adjust from the MXO control panel which is also very handy
