[gary adcock] “the blue only gun setting is used to calibrate pro broadcast monitors to assure that the color is accurate. Check your FCP manual for a pretty good explanation on how to color calibrate using the blue only setting.”
Right, ok. I checked it out now. Im a bit clearer.
Yes, you guessed right. I’m pretty new to this. I have been working as an offline edit assistant so the online world is something I’m having to learn about on my own.Perhaps this is the wrong place but, one thing I’m unclear about is whether I would be better of getting a cheap broadcast monitor for doing cc work with or getting an LCD monitor with this MXO I’ve been hearing so much about (both in conjunction with an AJA I/O)
I should explain, the place where I work is currently looking in to setting up an online suite. We do only SD work at the moment but my boss wants ideally to have an HD setup.
Any advice appreciated. -
Err… A blue only switch you say… What’s that then?
-
So, is it possible to use this AJA IO box to output to an LCD monitor, like the MXO does, or would I have to buy a broadcast monitor to do cc work?
Thanks -
Thanks, that’s cleared it up for me.
-
What I really need is an IO box instead of a capture card as everything we use comes in on DV. Are the equivalent Kona IO boxes able to give me a good enough broadcast output to be able to colour correct?
Thanks -
So, this is all good for the output but what do people use for input/capture card? Is there an all in one I/O solution that you can do CC work with?
Forgive my ignorance but I am coming from Avid (with a Mojo). -
What is the best way to connect an external monitor if you do not have a camera? I have a dvi out from my imac. I understand I can connect this to a tv via the right cables. Is it possible to set up an external monitor this way?
-
Do you mean it would not give accurate colour representations in either situations ie, using a firewire device out to an external monitor, or, using the dvi out on the mac?
-
Also, I should have mentioned, we only ever do SD work. Saying this, I was asked to look into getting a HD monitor. Presumably the cost difference would be significant between the two.
We do need to be offer some kind of grading, but $25k is kind of out of our budget.
Perhaps it would be better to go for a SD or second hand solution?
Thanks again -
“5- For computer monitors, it doesn’t matter too much what you get. You can/should look at your broadcast monitor for accuracy. (Though Apple Color may be an exception.)”
Why would Apple Color be an exception?
