Color Pipe settings ensure that incoming video signals are displayed accurately in the desired format. Each Input (4x 12G SDI, 1x HDMI) is assigned to a particular Color Pipe. Create up to 8 different Color Pipe settings at a time.
Creating a New Color Pipe
1. Navigate to MONITOR SETTINGS > FEED > COLOR PIPE.
2. Scroll down and tap NEW COLOR PIPE +.
3. By default, the new Color Pipe standard is set to REC 709. Tap the scroll-down icon to make changes.
CONFIGURABLE OPTIONS
INPUT TYPE will be what signals the Monitor accepts. The default is SDR.
- SDR
- HDR
- LOG
*NOTE: some of our monitors will accept HDR the monitor type will determine what options are available.
GAMUT is the color profile (These are your R G B parameters - where the points of the triangle are placed on the color profile). The default is REC 709.
*NOTE: Some monitors will accept HDR. The monitor type will determine what options are available.
**NOTE When in a LOG input type, GAMUT will be replaced by CAMERA.
WHITE POINT can be adjusted to further move the white point inside the color Gamut.
GAMMA curve affects highlights and shadows. This should be matched to your camera’s output (i.e. if the camera is outputting a 2.2 gamma curve, the color pipe should be matched to 2.2).
RANGE has three options:
- AUTO: The system will make a calculation based on ingest.
- LEGAL: Based on Broadcast standards for the Legal range of the color spectrum.
- FULL: This will be a complete spectrum of the color range
YCC STANDARD is the standard you use when converting YCC data to RGB. If unsure, use AUTO to match video metadata.
- AUTO
- MATCH GAMUT
- REC 601
- REC 709
- REC 2020
*NOTE: It's important to know what type of signal you are sending, if you are unsure, it's best to leave set to Auto.
Assigning a Color Pipe Setting to an Input
1. Navigate to MONITOR SETTINGS > FEED > COLOR PIPE.
2. Select the input.
3. Select the Color Pipe setting you want to assign to the input.
