SONY OLED (MONITOR)

This screen is used to monitor the colour grade.

The OLED screen has been properly calibrated and is as close to true colour as you will get.

Turn the MONITOR power ON (1).

Ensure the MONITOR has been set to SDI 1 (2).

To activate the second screen that’s used to monitor the grade, press the Red Power Button.

Then press the Control Button and make sure that A-1 button is selected.

In the System Settings, navigate to Blackmagic Design.

If everything is connected correctly a DeckLink 4K Extreme should automatically pop up within the Desktop Video Setup app.

Make sure that the settings are the same as on the picture on the left side.

After opening your project in DaVinci Resolve, navigate to the Preferences tab.

In the Video and Audio I/O setting make sure to change the Capture device and Monitor Device to DeckLink 4K Extreme.

IF YOU ARE USING DAVINCI RESOLVE TO COLOUR CORRECT

In Resolve locate the Project Settings Button (cog) in the lower left hand corner of the Resolve Window, click and choose 'Master Project Settings' from the pop-up menu.

In the 'Video Monitoring' section set Video Format to HD1080PsF 25 (this setting should match your editing project setting and your shooting format - if it doesn't see a post-production specialist.

Ensure that Video Connection has been set to YUV 4:2:2 SDI (if your media is 4:4:4 colour space set to RGB 4:4:4 Dual Link SDI).

This will ensure Audio output is routed through to the amplifier, and Video output (Preview and Monitor) is routed through to the Sony LCD TV and OLED Monitor respectively. If you do not want Preview on the TV, set Video Format to HD 1080P 25.

If you can' see an image on the Preview and/or Monitor screens at this stage, locate a post-production specialist.
