HD Color Correction Setup
Morning All,
First let me say I have watched and re-watched Vasst DVD#4 on CC and have read through Mr. Chan website, all of them great help. But I am on the hunt for information on setup not the process. I do have the Spyder3 Pro on its way also, so I can get my dual 24″s up to snuff. I have also read older post where John R uses LCD computer monitors calibrated.
In the video preview tab of preferences of SVP10 you have a long list of color space to choose from. Not to much info in the VP10 manual. Which one?
Next is monitor setup. Currently I am running dual 24″ monitors, and my video card can handle 2 more (all digital), so is it best to stay with monitors or go to devices like AJA to monitor on a HDTv?
Last, is there anything out there on broadcast safe CC with vegas?
Don’t mean to be so long winded and if someone knows where there is more info on this, please send it my way, I enjoy reading up on this.
Thanks,
John G -

Once you get the spyder C Calibrator, you will see just how lousy standard digital monitors really are. Doesn’t mean you can’t use them, just that accuracy is not in their vocabulary.
If you are going through the trouble AJA and such is cool if you have a broacast monitor. Otherwise, close enough is close enough.
Personally I use a cheezy work station graphics card, Nvidia 600. That is hooked to HP’s true 1 billion colors. That way I know I’m getting the most accurate colors on my preview as possible.
But I have noticed, everyone has diferent looking displays, if it looks good at mine, looks good just about everywhere.
Broadcast safe color filter is good, a bit unnessesary. I have yet to see a digi cam exceede broadcast safe, but if you feel the need, run a scope see if you exceede 100%

You might want to qualify that statement because I use S-PVA monitors which are very accurate and just ordered P-IPS monitors which are extremely accurate so I agree with you that cheap TN displays can’t be trusted but higher quality monitors can. Obviously a $2600 DreamColor is better than a $600 P-IPS but the P-IPS is equally superior to a $150 TN display.
