Monitoring RED .r3d files on external monitor.
Hey Cow Gang,
I’m hoping you might be able to help. I’m having troubles with a new workstation, and figuring out my workflow. I primarily work with RED Footage. I would like to figure out a method of viewing my material on an external monitor. My Decklink Extreme 3d is falling short of this task, but I would hate to get rid of it, as I need external monitoring for Resolve. My old Kona card would take a 4k r3d, and displaying it out as 1080. This was brilliant!!! I’m so upset that I can’t do this with my Decklink. My next step would be to figure out how I can output out of a quardo 4000. Right now I have a GTX 570, but it is my understanding that only the quardro card has 10-bit output capabilities. I currently have two monitors for my desktop, so it sounds like if I did switch over to a quardo 4000, I would be limited to one monitor for desktop display, and one for 10-bit output out of premiere.
Does anyone have any experience using a graphics card to output to a monitor that isn’t a capture card. I’m curious how this will work with the r3d footage. I read somewhere that someone was using this method, displaying 1080 from 4k. Any input on this would be great!

You can setup Premiere to playback through another monitor (if your monitor has DVI etc. in) in the playback settings so maybe that would work. Also you could work in a 1080 sequence and then render out in 4K or whatever you might need.

Just as a point of comparison, Im running PrP CS6.03 and displaying on an external engineering monitor using the AJA Kona 3 with no issues whatsoever.

I tried this with one of my apple monitors, and it worked likes charm. I’m curious what type of output this is. Is it 10-bit? I just need to get a dvi cable to run into my Flanders monitor. I also might consider a dvi to Sdi box, so I can loop through my Sdi on my Flanders to go out to my 55″ client monitor.

I had a kona 3 that did this beautifully, but I need a blackmagicdesign deck link for resolve.

Yeah, that makes sense.

I’m curious if you’ve had issues at all with kona 3 output in after effects?

None that I recall.

Done it, it’s easy, although not on R3D files and not with a 10-bit monitor.
