Levels Eizo Calibration for Resolve with external SDI to HDMI converter

[Pietro Ronzoni]

Hi to everyone, I have a question regarding my monitor calibration.

Setup:

Eizo CG 2420

Ultra Studio Monitor 3G

Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G

Xrite i1 Display Pro

DaVinci 18.1 build 16

DisplayCal 3.8.9.3

I’m also sharing my calibration and setup parameters:

Color Navigator 7

Brightness: Manual 100 cd/m^2

Black level: Minimum

White point: standard value D65

Gamma (EOTF): Standard Input 2.4

Priority: Standard

Gamut: Native

Display Cal Parameters:

Attached to the post (too many parameters)

UltraStudio Monitor 3G:

SDI Output: VIdeo is converted to RGB 4:4:4

3G-SDI formats: Are output as SMPTE Level B

Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G:

Clip video output to legal levels: Checked

Eizo CG 2420:

Input Color Format: RGB

Input Range: Limited

Calibration report is also attached.

I’m questioning if I’m correctly managing levels and if I should use other settings especially in Display cal when selecting input and output encoding.

If I’m not mistaken my pipeline is:

FULL – Output from resolve

LIMITED – Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G inputs and then converts before processing (unfortunately the manual says nothing about internal pipeline)

LIMITED – Mini Converter SDI to HDMI 6G output with calibration LUT applied

FULL – EIZO CG2420 Limited range via input converts back levels to appropriate viewing parameters

My questions are:

• Should I keep TV RGB 16-235 for input and output when selecting LUT characteristics in DisplayCal?
• What levels should I keep my monitor at when profiling and why since my LUT is supposedly limited (and why)?
• There is easy way to check if I’m managing levels correctly?

Thanks for all the dedication and support,

Pietro
