Hi, I’m new on here and I’ve been trying to calibrate my Flanders Scientific AM210 monitor under the Resolve Setting. I think I’ve easily tried close to 10 times and every time the calibration either crashes or if it finishes I get either super bright, green, saturated colors, Predator vision, black, very raised shadows. Not sure what I’m doing wrong at this point and I’ve tried all kinds of settings, read many forums, and nothing seems to work. Only good thing is with this last update to 3.8.2 it actually finishes the calibration. I attached pics of the last settings I did. I’ve mainly changed the Tone Curve and I’ve tried Custom Gamma 2.4 Absolute, Custom Gamma 2.4 Relative Black Output Offset 100%, and As Measured. All give wonky results. Can someone guide me to see what I’m doing wrong?

Resolve on macOS currently has a bug (on some mac hardware configurations) where it will not display the test patch. You’ll have to wait for BM Design to fix it, or use Resolve under Windows (you can still run DisplayCAL on macOS).

2019-06-12 at 18:10 #18090Hey Florian, thanks good to know. When you say test patch you mean the colored squares correct? I do see these on my grading monitor. As far as my configuration, I have a 21″ Retina 4K iMac running Mojave 10.14.3, mini monitor, w/ an SDI to my Flanders Monitor. My GPU is a 4GB Radeon Pro 560. Would you know if this is compatible? Thanks again!
2019-06-12 at 18:12 #18091When you say test patch you mean the colored squares correct?
The small center one, yes. Is it visible? It should NOT be one big, uniform color filling the whole screen.
2019-06-12 at 18:13 #18092Yes, haha, the small little one that changes colors through the tests. I see all of these on my grading monitor and viewer in resolve.
2019-06-12 at 18:15 #18093In that case, you are not affected by the aforementioned bug in Resolve. But you probably need to increase patch update delay. What’s the profile self check delta E of your current Resolve profile (see guide in the Wiki)?
2019-06-12 at 18:17 #18095here’s a pic of the last test I did.

Try increasing display update delay (make sure it’s at least 1000ms, increase in 100ms steps), create a small profile. See the ballpark numbers for self check dE you should aim for in the guide (note that all these self checks really tell you is “Resolve is not updating the patch in time”, as I doubt that the Flanders is not stable).
2019-06-12 at 18:32 #18099Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Below is what the default delay settings have been. I’ll try 1100 and do a short test of about 4 min. Is this correct?

2019-06-12 at 20:12 #18105Ok, so I ran a test w/ 1100 delay and this is what I got. (pic attached) Any Ideas? Most of the time when I run a test I get some sort of error like this.

It may make sense to use larger increments initially (say, +200ms) until you are near the actual delay you need.
2019-06-12 at 20:32 #18108Got ya, thanks! I’ll increase to 1300!
2019-06-12 at 20:38 #18109Also make sure you have disabled “Release video I/O hardware when not in focus” in Resolve.
