Multibridge Quad FCP 5 23″ cinema display now working – details and question about display settings for Blackmagic techies
I’ve now got my system working with the 23″ as the broadcast monitor.
I went to View menu/External video and selected “all frames”.
Also View menu/video playback and selected Blackmagic HDTV 1080i 25Hz (I’m in UK – Pal) 8-bit 1920×1080
This seems to work fine.
Now I’ve tried a 10-bit setting, but it squeezes the image. Its HDV footage so 1920 squeezed to 1440. 10-bit doesn’t stretch the 1440 footage.
Is there a solution to get a 10-bit output or do I have to monitor on 8-bit.
Q: In general what are the best settings to get the best quality?
Also please do post that colour set-up information or email it to me please, thanks.

Robin, check my link below to your original post. The lookup table that I’ve calibrated for the Dell 24″ LCD is there. It should get you much closer to proper settings.
You can’t monitor 10-bit on an 8-bit only display. unfortunately most LCD’s to this day are only capable of 8-bit gamut. some can do 10-bit but its only in the Gamma. That should all change soon with the upcoming OLED, SED and LED backlit displays that will emerge later this year / early next year.
