If your monitor doesn’t support LUTs, you can load it into a LUT box that is a little device you can connect to the monitor. The LUT can be loaded directly into the monitor if your monitor supports LUTs. There are three ways to load the calibration LUT. When the readings are done, the calibration software will create a calibration LUT that you can use to correct the monitor. When everything is connected, the idea is that the laptop with the calibration software will control DaVinci Resolve remotely and send colored test patterns to the monitor and at the same time take readings with the probe. The light in the room must be turned off. The probe must be connected to the laptop and be mounted on a tripod pointing straight to the centre of the monitor in a non-angled position. The DaVinci Resolve workstation must be connected to the laptop that runs the calibration software. Make sure the monitor is connected to the DaVinci Resolve video output card, and that no existing calibration is active.
There are many options available in all price classes, but you can get decent results with a cheap X-Rite i1D3.
It has ColourSpace integration and can store calibration LUTs internally. In this example we use the Flanders Scientific DM240 because it’s one of the most popular and affordable 24” color grading monitors on the market. I can be run on Windows or via VM on Mac. We use ColourSpace by Light Illusions because it’s the industry standard calibration software used by most colorists, and it’s supported by DaVinci Resolve. The calibration software can be run directly on the DaVinci Resolve workstation, but having a dedicated laptop means other displays such as the client monitor also can be calibrated easily. We will give you a brief overview of what you need and how calibration in DaVinci Resolve works.īoth the paid and free version will work. You can achieve excellent results without hiring professionals and to a very low cost. If you are serious about color grading you need a monitor you can trust, and calibrating using DaVinci Resolve is easier than ever.
