Monitor Output in RedCineX 104

[Michael Nielsen]

Is there a way to show the footage I'm color-correcting in RedCineX in my SDI out monitor without Red-Rocket? I'm running a Panasonic BT-LH1710 through a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme card. I would love to do my corrections on that monitor.

Thanks.

One way is to use the Kona 3 with the "Enable Desktop Display" enabled. There are two different versions of the driver for the Kona 3, one that enables this option and one that doesn't. I'm not sure the accuracy of color timing using this method, so I would test the setup before committing to it. I'm not sure if the Black Magic card has this option or not though.

cheers

BlackMagic have unfortunately dropped the "extended desktop" option in recent drivers. Don't know why. It would only be usable as a guide anyway, not as a grading reference output.
