HI I have a Swit FM-21.5 HDR monitor used as a client monitor on set. In order to calibrate the monitor a CSV file needs to be loaded in, but I cant see a way to make one. From a bit or research it seems if I create a 1d lut that needs to be converted, but I cant find a way to do so. Has anybody got any advice ?
Thanks
It calls it a 3dlut.cube. The advanced options of displaycal makes a 3d lut. Choose the cube file and put it in the usb slot. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/3402037/Swit-Fm-215hdr.html?page=14#manual
This has so many options so to get it right you need the details right. Cant really give advice without knowing the problem or goal.
Hi Ben, thanks for reaching out. Interestingly it seems the link you have posted is a newer version of the monitor with exactly the same name for some reason!
I have an older version of the monitor, that has a completely different front button panel and different calibration method. I have calibrated lots of my smallhd on camera monitors and computer monitors successfully with 3d luts using displaycal.
I reached out to swit directly about calibrating the monitor a long time ago. It turns out they calibrate the monitor in the factory using a CSV file generated from Calman.
When I had previously uploaded a converted (and presumably incorrectly converted) 3d lut .cube file, I had generated with displaycal, it ruined the display on the monitor completely, and they sent me back a factory CSV calibration file, to bring it back to showing a proper image. This is the screenshot I posted above.
But it has been pretty inaccurate ever since. So I am now trying to work out if It possible to create this calibration CSV file at all using displaycal.
I will post the screenshot of the conversation I had over email with them below for context.
Thanks. I can not see any success stories. All I can find is calman for makeing csv. I hope somoene can help. Displaycal makes a txt files. Do not know how easy to convery to csv. Its pretty easy to use Excell and I converted txt files before. Not sure what a csv from calman look like. It be nice to know.
