Assuming you are delivering for web, I would recommend to calibrate your refference-monitor to sRGB.
If you like to do that seriously you need a monitor with hardware-calibration and the new xrite display pro (if supported) or what the manufacturer provide (as minimal requirement).
Other way is profiling your monitor and using a 3d-lut within resolve.

See that the bandwith of HD, 2k and 4k is clearly below 2,5 GT/s potential which is 4000 MB/s at x16, each way.
So as I unserstand it, it should not make a difference for real time playback.

Just to be sure:
Use timecode ‘embedded in the source clip’ is selected?

[Knut Jansohn]

Some settings have to be set before importing media to the pool.
I would try again with right settings, after removing all clips from the mediapool.
If that doesn’t work, I would try a manuall edit in seeking to establish if there is a tc-offset.

Hi Tim,

did you ad r3ds by using the edl or manually?
Checked TC-version on source tab?

[Pepijn Klijs] ” Can you spot/detect interlaced footage on a dreamcolor or LG24xx (forgot the numbers)?”

fcp shows then a single field on sdi in still mode. And that makes itself felt on both monitors (w2420r and DT-V24G1E). You will clearly see the edges at the lines. Hope that’s it, what you asked for.

[Knut Jansohn]

I never had such issues with w2420r. Very consistent, no remarkable shadings.
Planar says nothing about showing interlaced video, specially 50 Hz!

In my opinion the i1-display2 is not convenient for an accurate calibration. In particular not for led-backlights! And it’s discontinued too 🙂

Next nominee: eizo cg232w, build for postpro, supports 1080i 50 – but a little bit out of budget.

If you don’t want to tinker: gtx570 is plug and play (two 6-pin powerplugs). It tops the 470 and is not much slower than gtx580.
But take care about the dimensions, there are versions which surmount 2 pci-slots because of their cooling-design.

[Pepijn Klijs] “on the Sony lcd’s at work I can clearly detect interlaced footage”

Hm, do you mean that you can detect issues generated from wrong field dominance?
I’m not sure if that will make itself felt (I think so for both) but I could test that if you prepare a short sequence with such issues.

[Pepijn Klijs] “1. I know that dreamcolor users have to invest in another card to output the ‘right’ signal over hdmi. I believe it’s a decklink card.”
Which video card do you use? Extreme 3d provides hdmi as well.
Extern sdi-hdmi/dvi converter is an other way. Maybe usefull with a plasma later.

[Pepijn Klijs] “2. Working a lot for television I still often encounter interlaced footage, which I can’t detect on a regular computer screen. I wonder how the LG works with that. It’s quite a crucial thing for me. Any experience with this?”
As written, no issues with 1080i 25. Looks pretty good. Lcd aren’t interlaced devices anyway. So the signal has to be rehashed by the electronic. The JVC like any other broadcast-lcd has to do that too.

[Pepijn Klijs] “So I’m still thinking to pick up the JVC DT-V24G1. Anyone ever worked with this panel?”
Yes I do, but can’t say that it gives a better image than the w2420r.
It is not as consistent as I would like to see. And it provides only 8 bit (with 10 bit ‘dithering’). Anyway if it’s well calibrated and you put it beside a BVM-L231 it will be hard for most people to see a difference in natural images.
