HI, Michael.
I am sending true progressive, but apparently, from what I’ve read, this is no longer an issue with this current generation of Dreamcolor monitors that just came out. I believe it is also YUV video, but this apparently is not an issue with the current generation of Dreamcolor. TheZ24x and Z27x do not demand RGB 444 progressive the way the last model did. I read Allan Teper’s articles before purchasing to make sure I could use it with the blackmagic mini monitor (without the expensive Blackmagic band-aid device that converted everything to RGB).
To be honest, I’m not sure if the blackmagic mini monitor is feeding the Dreamcolor correctly, because the image appears blown up slightly and has slight aliasing jaggies on 1080p 5D footage.
I know that the Avid GUI monitors do brighten up the image considerably and are completely unreliable, but I thought that the fullscreen playback from Avid on the macbook pro, as well as the images from exported quicktimes, would be much closer to Rec 709 than I witnessed on the Dreamcolor.
