The ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB graphics card includes two Mini DisplayPort outputs and a dual-link DVI port. It supports three displays. You need to purchase and additional Mini DisplayPort adapter for around $30USD.

Leave your settings at factory level. Send it in for calibration 1-2 times a year.

No problems here with 10.7.1.

Andrew –

On my Panasonic TH-50PF30U Pro Plasma, Picture Advance Settings, I have separate Red Green Blue high settings and Red Green Blue low (bias) settings available.

In FCP, use your Video Scopes to set and confirm your white and gray field parameters before you output to your monitors.

As far as breaking in your plasma, sure, use your FCP sequence in loop. Just be aware of how many hours you do that, including having it on while you’re grading. It took me a while to stack up the necessary hours between the two before calibration.

Hi Andrew,

I’m not a FCP editor, so I had a buddy do it for me per FSI recommendations. As I understand it, you can generate a 100% white field and a 35% gray field in FCP and output to your monitors via your BMD Decklink.

Perhaps an editor on this forum can share how to do this? Sorry, I don’t know how. Post the question on the FCP forum.

This doesn’t substitute for a pro-calibration, but it’s nice to have these settings while you do your 100-300 hour break-in period for reference viewing.

I’m not suggesting you leave these fields up on your plasma for those hours, just to use them for ‘ball-park’ settings.

Personally, I used movies on my Blu-ray in a loop mode for the break-in period. After that, I hired a pro technician to calibrate with excellent results.

For a quick fix, set it to Cinema mode. Create a SMPTE Color bars, 35-40% gray field and 100% white field project in your NLE. You can use the color bars to set your brightness (PLUGE)/contrast settings, the gray field for your RGB bias settings (advanced picture menu settings) and the white field for your RGB gain settings for uniformity across the screen to your eye. Maybe that will help.

After about 300 hours of use, do what Robert said.

September 9, 2011 at 11:02 pm in reply to: Magic Bullet Denoiser

David,

Yes, I am aware of Color’s denoiser and the Nattress denioser. The thing is my client is using Magic Bullet’s Denoiser in FCP. I’m just curious if there any gotcha’s regarding round trip. I’ve been told the clips in FCP using MB’s Denoiser should be converted to self-contained QTs. Aka, baked-in.

Thanks.

D.J., try eBay. But, I must say, buyer beware. I purchased mine and the Expansion Chassis with the 16TB RAID 5 storage from Film Systems, LLC Alpharetta, GA. USA.

Eric, I feel ya. But, by all accounts, including mine, they’ve been reliable.
