Perfect tutorial with no unanswered questions from me!
Thanks Nick! Perfect comment for me! Appreciated! Job done! Have a good week!! darren.
my son asked me why tony stark is doing such videos. does he need money? probably not
Me again! haha
I cant find any good videos regarding calibrating a display thats being run through an IO device and how this is properly set up, would love to see a video on this :D Love your content :)
Audio monitoring delay was allways a problem for me (using older versions of BM cards) how do you know to set your specific time in Miliseconds (287)? is there a tool for measuring this?
Hi Aerial. No idea what values you need TBH. We dont do audio at my post facility - fully picture post. In the edit page my sync is matched to my external monitor and Genelec speakers are connected direct out of the Ultrstaudio box and it is in sync. On the GUI I have to monitor audio from the Mac to keep sync. I always use the box and external viewing/listening.
thnx for the great tutorial! I've got one question:
I've recently purchased an ultrastudio 4k mini and connected a playback monitor using the SDI out (converted the signal to HDMI for my desktop monitor) which works fine, but I'm using the HDMI out to connect to a client monitor (Sony Bravia QD OLED), the two are not in sync. The desktop playback is in sync with Resolve, client monitor lags behind like 5 frames. Is there any way to solve this, or is this something that you just have to deal with?
Cheers!
I asked this question on Reddit but didn't get any answer, maybe you will help: Hello!
For monitoring I use DeckLink card which is connected to Benq PD2700U, this monitor has gamma presets, but which one should I choose? I suspect it must be Rec. 709 but when I choose this gamma image looks really dark, so I'm not quite sure. In sRGB it looks fine though. Maybe I missed something and I have to change project settings?
Thanks in advance!
Since it uses THUNDERBOLT, it's safe to say that this device is not Windows compatible, correct?
Hello Mr Mostyn
What is the cost of your equipment.?.why I ask is ,I would like to have a studio just like yours. I am a lorry driver, this is over my head.but ,family and friends. Are in the media business. I would like to promote, social content.
Give thanks
Hi Yao. My equipment has been built up over many years and is high spec for broadcast delivery to BBC, Amazon etc. you really don't need this much kit to promote social media content or even for broadcast TBH. We only have top level kit as we are a working post facility for broadcast and so it helps our workflow. Minimum - a good a laptop. ideal - a calibrated monitor - even better - an IO device and a calibrated monitor. Hope that helps and best of luck with the project.
Another great video Darren! It made my recent installation of an UltraStudio 4K Mini with an FSI monitor go smoothly. One helpful hint I learned is that the audio delay parameter in Resolve Preferences only applies if the video and audio are being sent to a BMD I/O device. If audio is being sent somewhere other than the I/O device, that parameter, which can go as high as 500ms has no impact of an audio delay. I tested it extensively, at least on a Mac, and that parameter impacted the delay if audio and video are sent to the 4K Mini, but not if audio was sent out of the Mac system device (like a USB interface or the Mac headphone Jack).
Can you get key and Fill in 1080i and 1080p. An alpha and a Fill to use with a broadcast mixer for a Keyer?
Great video Darren. Thank you for sharing the knowledge. I have a query, In Davinci Preference Settings do we need to check 'Use Mac display color profiles for viewers' and 'Use 10 bit precision'? . I am using non colormanaged work flow with Timeline setting Rec 709 (Scene) and my monitors calibrated for Rec 709. TIA.
I have EXACTLY the same question Darren, as my project is a non-colour managed workflow as well!
Would hyperdeck studio also work as IO device? I’m trying to figure out my monitoring and also a storage / redundancy solution. I’m new to all of this. I’m not clear if I need the 4k versions since I shoot in 4k but may not need to grade in 4k since my videos are just for TH-cam. BMD also just announced their cloud storage…so many options and so much to learn
I’ll be looking at all this stuff at NAB. Show opens Sunday. Really looking forward to it!
For sure don’t concern yourself with gold connectors in a digital world.
Hi Darren, dose 4k mini support HDR grading? Thanks!
Over HDMI, yes, its 2.0.
Thanks always for your great videos! I'd love to watch if you can teach us how to properly calibrate one's own monitor and set it up correctly in davinci resolve 17.
Appreciated Shotaro. Thanks,
Hi
How can I select multiple monitor outputs in DaVinci Resolve, I have the Blackmagic Decklink 8k Pro g2.
all channels out are live all the time.
Hello Darren. I ve tried your method...but my 1080 monitor still show the image zoomed in. Timelije is UHD. (Footage mostly 6k.some 4k. Monitor is sony blm231(1080p) I can't seemcto fond a solution where the Sony display would show what's on my timeline
try set timeline to 1080. change back to uhd just to render. this is one way. there are others.
Does IO card support H.265, sir? I plan on buying DeckLink Mini Monitor 4K. But my Canon R6 is not recording prores. Its hevc.
IO card is not codec specific. It is simply outputting the video signal from Resolve or whatever you use.
I bought DaVinci from the app store. They won't let me return it. Was that a major mistake? What should I do?
What?
Hi Dove. Yes it is slightly different in operation Its not a major mistake but restricts what you can do as only runs on iOS. I have no idea on returns policy's, best of luck though.
@@DarrenMostyn that's the only difference? That I'm restricted to using it on Mac? Everything else is the same?
Hi Darren the UltraStudio Monitor 3G works with Davinci resolve free or has to use the Studio? Thx.
with free it works too
Hi Darren, I am using a Ultra 4k Mini and A Flanders DM220 but getting color shift when rendering. Any suggestions to fix this problem?
th-cam.com/video/miMFE95G0kU/w-d-xo.html
How loud is the Ultrastudio 4k Mini? I'm really hesitant to add one to my editsuite due to seeing a lot of comments about excessive fan noise with some models (my setup is almost completely silent at the moment). As I do edit, sound and color I'm really not keen on compromising on sound by adding a noisy IO box, but I also don't want to compromise on image quality.
It is silent. It is about 1.5m from me now and I cannot hear it at all unless I really tune in to it. I returned a set of hard drives once as too noisy so I understand your concerns.
how to connect a monitor to laptop without thunderbolt 3?
My laptop doesn't have thunderbolt 3
USB C
Awesome! Curious about whether to check "Use 4:4:4 SDI" or not?
And another tutorial idea that I am CERTAIN would do very well is a definitive guide on how to hardware calibrate a screen, most of us who need the info rely on DisplayCALand it is super confusing. One simple example of something I am still unclear on is when to choose 2.4 vs 2.2 gamma, does that depend on the specs of the monitor you are calibrating or on your intended workflow? There are so many gotchas, it would be a perfect video for someone with your trusted experience and knack for explaining details.
If your monitor is 4:4:4 capable and your IO is too, then yes. You can check with an image that Ive seen on the web, but I can't remember where I saw it. It has coloured lines of text and you cant see some if not supporting 444.
Fantastic stuff Darren. Perfect information delivery speed. No need to scrub to the best bits as it's all good! Next time you calibrate your monitors we'd love to see you do it. Info is so scarce on this black art.
Yes, someone needs to make this video. There are tons of calibration videos but I haven’t found one that explains this.
FANTASTIC VIDEO as always. I'm excited to up my editing game and can't wait to get an I/O to get away from the mac gamma shift issues. Do you have recommended specs on an entry level grading grading monitor (using standard rec709/sRGB gamut)? I've seen recommendations of LG OLED vs Dell ultrasharp vs ASUS Proart etc etc. Very confusing to me and all I want is to provide the best youtube videos possible for my subscribers.
Hi. Appreciate you want recommends but without me getting lots of monitors to try here I cannot give an honest review. We have here Flanders OLED DM250, Panasonic GZ2000 and Asus prorate UCGH. All great monitors at different price points. Glad you like the videos Ive done, appreciate your kind words.
I am using an LG C2 and a Decklink 4k in an external pcie box via laptop tb3. This is a pretty cost-effective entry setup.
Hi Darren. I've been trying to get my BlackMagic IO box to work, but I have an audio delay problem. How do you use the audio monitoring delay function in Resolve to address this, please? Thanks very much!
A couple of points that may help folks. You do mention... Oh dear, gold plated cables... are not a mark of quality. The standard the cable meets is the important thing. A cable from a reputable distributor (eg electronics parts wholesalers or equipment houses) that is taged for say HDMI 2.0a should perform as expected regardless of its finish.
You don't need to spend fortunes on such a cable. Just get the correct one and keep it under 10 meters in length or go with an active optical cable.
Alternatively use sdi. Here again it doesn't need to cost a fortune. It does however need to have component parts that meet the standard. So 75 ohm BNC connectors and a suitable 75 ohm co-axial cable eg rg59/g. Old studio patch leads should do the job, or even cores from triax. All too often the wrong 50 ohm BNC are fitted.
Don't spend hundres unless you have to offset profit.
Next up (resolve 18.6 now) clean feed certainly displays to a lower resolution display. 4k timeline, 4k raw footage, 1080p hdmi clean feed. No issues.
The only problem i had was my ultrastudio sdi causing the system to hang resolve after a driver merry go round to get it working again in the first place. BMD sometimes forget the older hardware in the release dash.
Great videos spurring me on to better videos. I appreciate your efforts.
Master can you make a video on how to use RGB mixer for colour grading
Sure.
Hi Darren, great video as always. With the UltraStudio 4K Mini, and all things being equal, would you connect to the monitor via SDI or HDMI? I’m getting ready to make a purchase, and could go either way. Recommendations?
Where can you get a thunderbolt 2 to 3 adaptor MacBook pro 2015 cheers for great Video
Monitor device field in Resolve is greyed out, the BMD Desktop Video App however sees the UltraStudio Monitor 3G Box. I'm on a MacBook Pro M1 plugged in directly via thunderbolt 4 cable + HDMI, any ideas what could I be doing wrong?
Hi you are a goldmine of information, relevant only, on Da Vinci and BMD ecosystem. I have a question about the Intensity Pro 4K, i believe if i am using one ref monitor, it should work just fine, or do you have a different opinion on this...
Thanks for the comprehensive video! Question though...With the UltraStudio 4K Mini can I use it for video monitoring/capture but also use a SEPARATE DAC for audio monitoring?
What are your thoughts on the connecting the Declink Card to a (newish) OLED 4K TV ?
I BOUGHT AN ULTRASTUDIO 4k MINI, it stopped working and was condemned by technical assistance after 2 days of use.
Sounds unlicky. Ive had maybe 5 different I/O devices over the years and all worked perfect
@@DarrenMostyn, I noticed that the ultrastudio mini 4k gets too hot, so for constant use, the best option is probably the rack version.
Hi Darren, i have a doubt . On system preferences / Displays Settings, what color profile i have to select? , In my case i have Asus proart PA278QV , and in the list of Color Profiles is "PA278QV" , i have to select this or select Rec709 gamma 2.4 on Color Profiles?, sorry for my terrible english!! and Thank u Darren!
when i watch portrait video (Insta reel) output through delink mini monitor hd, it shows square preview, the top and bottom cropped but in desktop view it is portrait, can u solve this issues, thank you
Would this device replace an audio interface for my audio LR monitors?
I monitor my audio through my IO box, yes.
@@DarrenMostyn Great to know, I have a question for you I just watched your video on the XP monitor and I had another colorist recommend it too. I am not a pro colorist I'm more in the audio market as a mixer but trying to get better at color since often times I have to grade myself I am curious of your opinion on the Asus Pro art auto calibrating OLED and how it would stack up or if it is even worth it or something like a apple XDR display just till I can save up for the XP310.
Great explanation! The only thing that I am curious about is what information the monitor uses to display footage in davinci. Because with the Monitor 3G device it bypasses the Colorprofile that I calibrated.
Hi Darren, thank you for creating these videos.
I just bought the Ultrstudio Monitor 3G after watching your videos. Can you help me please?
I have a mac studio and two Benq Sw270c. I used the IO on one for monitoring but for some reason it's overly saturated. I tried to uninstall and install the Desktop video, no luck.
I tried resetting the monitors, no luck. Monitors are both calibrated using Benq's own software with dataacolor. What other approach can I take? thank you.
Hi Darren. Im considering the Blackmagic Design UltraStudio Monitor 3G with the apple m1 macbook and the aces proart monitor. I just have a couple of questions if you dont mind. I just want to make sure that this will bypass the Apple colour management. What would my colour management and export settings be for Davinci Resolve. Regards Juan
What products and workflow fo you recommend to capture in the dolby vision standards?
Hiya Darren, any idea how i calibrate my screen(lg oled) while using a blackmagic mini Hd i/o ?. I have a data colour spyder calibration system,i have my i/o box up and running but it only works when i have my editing software in use :))) many thnx
Hey Darren :)
Im an aspiring Colorist and i try to set up a Grading environment that fits my current needs.
I have the LG LG UL650 Monitor. I know it is a very low budget monitor but i heared it is okey for web delivery.
I also have th Blackmagic Decklink mini monitor 4k as a IO Device.
I have calibrated my monitor and and connected it via HDMI.
My problem at the moment is that the Display is now stronger in Contrast, stronger in saturation, and has a magenta shift.
I tried the Clean Feed Method and the Display looks better then going through the IO Device. Would be great if you could give a short answere what the problem might be. Thanks alot and keep doing content! We love it! :D
I use a Decklink Mini Monitor 4K (PCI) on a Windows10 machine, but lately the system often loses connection and the card doesn't show up in Desktop Video anymore so I can not use my Monitor. Do you know that problem? I already bought a new card because I thought the old one was broken, and I also tried to switch back to older versions of Desktop Video... but the problem is still there /:
Thanks for your video Darren. It may be a silly question but how do i connect a Ultrastudio Mini 4k to something like an Teranex SDI to HDMI 8K Device? I remember tried it once but coudn‘t find the right way to set it up. The Ultrastudio does not send the Signal to the Teranex. I would be fantastic if you could help me with that.
connecting thunderbolt to mainboard and graphic card will have the same output color?
Hi Darren, I'm in the market for this specific brand and model and was wondering how I'd hook it up to 2 separate displays. I have the FSI DM250 and the FSI XMP550 monitors. Would I have to do 1 HDMI and 1 SDI?
Yes. Or get the ultrastudio extreme and you can send multiple sdi outs then. I have the extreme.
Or you can SDI loop out of the DM250 so can then use mini IO
@@DarrenMostyn Hey Darren, Finally got everything from FSI and hooked up. Ended up getting the DM220 and the XMP550. Can you tell me why you are using the Y, Cb, Cr 422 over the RGB 444? The 422 works fine on both displays but when I change to RGB 444, it goes all predator. Any thoughts on that?
This was so helpful! Thanks Darren!
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant Darren. Just got a 4K Mini - and I Am in Catalina - this is a big help. Cheers :)
Darren how do I get an HDMI 4k signal via hdmi out? I keep getting an output that’s severely cropped

Hi Ralph. Noted.
Nice video, when should I choose the full data levels?
hi darren, will this work exactly the same? Blackmagic Design Ultrastudio 4k Thunderbolt 2
Yes it will - I even have one of those on another one of our suites. Not HDR compatible over HDMI though.
Hey Darren, thanks for this. :)
For now at least, I just want to get a good clean signal for grading, so I’m thinking about getting the UltraStudio Monitor 3G. (Do you have an affiliate link?)
Just wondering though…
1. What happens when I’m working with 4K or 8K footage? Does my timeline have to be in 1080P to work?
2. What happens when I am sending the signal to a 1440P or 4K monitor?
3. When would I need to upgrade to an I/O solution that is 12G (Supports 4K)?
4. Besides not having as much I/O, when would I wish I’d gone for the Mini 4K? (Or higher).
5. Lastly, when you say “calibrated monitor”, are you talking about a Flanders or similar? Or could a good quality screen (BenQ/Eizo etc) work for now?
I dont have an affiliate link, but thanks for asking.
Thank you! Do you also use a decklink? Do you recommend one?
I use Ultrastudio 4K Extreme
@@DarrenMostyn thank you!!
Your information on the channel is great! Thank you for making time to provide such useful information. Does the Ultrastudio 4K Extreme or Ultrastudio 4K mini support 2 reference monitors@@DarrenMostyn?
Hi darren.. Greetings! I love all your videos.
I've a question...
th-cam.com/video/5LU1x5qBS_Q/w-d-xo.html
In this time of your video you mention to use a thunderbolt 3 to 2 converter.
Does this device (ultra studio 4k mini) really work for the older Mac Pro 6,1 which has only thunderbolt 2 port with a thunderbolt 2 to 3 adapter/converter? Can you confirm it?
Thanks.
I cant confirm that particular scenario as i dont have that set up. My thunderbolt 2 old IO (ultrastudio 4K) worked with my thinderbolt 3 macpro 2019 with an adaptor.
hi im having trouble with my flanders dm241 monitor. i connect black magic studio mini 4k to M1 macbook by thunderbolt cable then thats into my monitor via DP port with DP to HDMI cable. Problem is DP on monitor just says no signal? hope you can help. thanks
Hi Ross. Take the signal from the Mini 4K to the Flanders, not the display port. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Darren,
Silly question but do I need this (is it more accurate ) I have a pc with an rtx 3090 and I use an lg oled which I've calibrated with calman home software.
Should I be using an io box over my GPU outs?
No.
Well done. Just follow the steps and success
If I only want to connect one monitor as a reference monitor in resolve is there a benefit of using the UltraStudio 4k Extreme instead of the UltraStudio 4k Mini? Could I use either of these output devices to do HDR grading if my reference monitor supports HDR?
cheaper one would be better for you in this scenario.
Amazing bro, thanks a lot!
Is Intensity Pro 4K is work for playback also?
Yes its works - we have one too in an edit suite.
Great video thanks
Hi Darren - thanks again for a great video. I'm trying to find some info on the new Mac Studio ultra + Studio display. I've noticed that the Studio display only has thunderbolt in port which would make it hard to have a dedicated video card for monitoring. I can't seem to find any info that would indicate that the Mac Studio ultra has a video card built into it for the thunderbolt cable. Have you heard anything about that. Also is there a way to use a video card for a thunderbolt monitor like the studio display?
Hi Darrin. Any of the ultrastudio range should connect easily...its thunderbolt. The external box replaces the card option.
Darren, How is your Flat Screen connected in this setup?
SDI for Flanders and then we take an HDMI out to a HDMI splitter to 'flat screen' GZ2000, ProArt UCG and Omniscopes. You dont need a splitter if just 2 monitors - 1 SDI and 1 HDMI. Hope that helps. Darren
Thanks for that Darren, excellent and clear as always. Good to see the warning about updating operating systems, always nerve wracking..
Hi - good to hear from you again! Got to love an OS update to keep the ticker going!
Hello sir I have mac studio ultra I'm planning to buy LG C1 OLED as my refrence monitor and I have BMD ULTRASTUDIO MONITOR 3G so can i connect monitor 3g on OLED C1 or can i use thunderbolt to HDMI cable for clean feed?
What is your suggestions?
Right now I have no budget for buy ultra monitor 4k..
ultrastudio monitor 3G is perfect for your feed. thunderbolt to the box thern HDMI out the box to youer C1 is correct - better than clean feed from software. Hope that helps.
@@DarrenMostyn okay
One more question can i go for EIZO CG2420 or LG OLED C1 for refrence monitor what is your suggestions?
FANTASTIC video! The level of detail of the information is great!
This is my 4th or 5th time in your channel and i think i subscribed the first time i visited your channel
If you allow me 2 questions please, that would be awesome!
In the minute 2:15 you talked about "you can have multiple conections connected at all time"
and eventually it can be switch in the "software which connecetion you want to use"
Can you monitor your timeline in two displays, full screen, at the same time? For example one connected via HDMI
and the other connected via SDI? Maybe one in 1080 and the other one in 4k?
My 2nd question is: you have the scopes in the left monitor in your desk. Do you have that monitor connected
to another I/O, the same UltraStudio 4K Extreme or directly to you Mac?
Thanks in advance an sorry for my English; I'm still learning
Have a Productive and Healthy Day!
Hi Freddy. Good questions. Yes, you can monitor multiple monitors that are being fed from an IO device at the same time. I have a Panasonic GZ2000 HDMI out for my clients, whilst I watch my Flanders via SDI all simultaneously. The Scopes are being fed from an HDMI splitter which feeds FROM my ultrastudio to the Panasonic GZ2000 and to the scopes as I dont have an SDI input on the card on the scopes machine (its a windows HPZ machine just for the scopes). Hope that helps. Thanks you for subscribiing too, really appreciated. Subscribing means a lot to me.
@@DarrenMostyn WOW! What an answer!
First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question with such detail!
Should i understand that you grade in your Mac and see the scopes from the PC? I mean, your Mac and your PC are both connected to the ultrastudio?
I'm planning to use a BMD video hub, could i connect the ultrastudio to the video hub via SDI and from the hub send the signal to the monitors?
Thank you so much again, and i'll study your videos from now on
Have a great day!
Thanks for the video. I’m curious of your comment on working on a reduced timeline res (7:08) when working on a 4k/UHD project. Wouldn’t this resolution reduction make colour grading less accurate? When grading, wouldn’t you want to see as many of the pixels as possible? What am I missing here?
technically yes, but you won't change your grading for that level of detail. I zoom in at 1:1 for texture work sometimes or noise.
Thank you.
Hi Darren! Quick question! Does it matter where you plug your thunderbolt cable on the back of your Mac? For instance, I have a Mac Pro desktop, and my question is would it be OK to plug directly into the MPX module that houses the GPU or should I plug into another thunderbolt port on my Mac Pro that isn’t my MPX module? Does plug-in directly entered the GP use thunderbolt port essentially have any affect on this monitoring process?
I don’t think it would matter. Did you try?
Hi Jake. No it doesn't matter. You can take it out of your external hard drive if you wish.
How would you combine this with 5.1 or above audio? Via a receiver in between the IO and TV/Monitor?
No idea. We are picture post only - I have stereo output only for viewing. Sorry. Im a florist - audio is not my speciality. Hope someone here can maybe answer ? feel free to if anyone knows ? (not many I cant answer..!!).
@@DarrenMostyn Thanks for the response in any case - as well as all the content you put out! Let's see if anyone else chimes in.😄
hi darren!
I'm on the pc, i don't have thunderbolt ports. so icant use PCIe cards cause they limits the bandwidth to my gpu what is solution in this case?
Hi. Im not a PC expert or tech support - sorry no idea how to help your probelm here. would help if i knew the answer. Cards are PCI Express if that helps..? There is also Intensity range...look them up on the BMD website - I use one in an HPZ4
I'm pretty sure most motherboards have dedicated PCI lanes, that are not shared, for the GPU slot (the first slot from the CPU).
Even if the PCI slot was shared, most GPUs run full speed on 8 lanes, with PCI-4. You'd need something like a RTX 4090, to experience your GPU being hindered.
And if your MB is PCI-E 5, theres no issue at all.
You can also just choose another free PCI slot slot, that doesn't shate lanes with the first slot. Your MB manual will tell you, which slots are sharing bandwidth.
Great great video!! i have an imac and a benq 4k monitor, is it recommended to have a ultrastudio monitor 3G, which is only hd even though my monitor is 4k? (I usually work in 1080 color grading) or do I need ultrastudio mini 4k necessarily?
I think you have answered your own question ? Yes to both scenarios. but yes HD monitor will work on your benq but only in HD
@@DarrenMostyn thanks!!!
@@DarrenMostyn If for now I don't have ultrastudio 3g, should I activate Mac display for viewers in resolve?
Darren forever grateful for you sharing your trade experiences with us!! I’ve connected the ultra studio 4k mini to my M1 Mac workflow as you’ve suggested. I was wondering if you or anyone here has experienced workarounds for a few caveats…
1. Is it possible to use the monitor as a secondary GUI monitor when setup as you outline? Or can the monitor only be used inside of DR as a hero monitor?
2. I don’t do post audio but when exporting final renders with reference audio I’m experiencing audio glitches throughout the render when the ultra studio is set as my audio interface?
Hi. Q1. Yes you can use a second monitor if it has a computer display input (My Flanders couldn't, but an Eizo or my ASUS UCG could) but you need to switch the input away from SDI/HDMI to do so. Q2.When its RENDERING.... If you mean if you are listening to spotify or radio then YES...it does whilst rendering. The processing is being given priority to Resolve. I have a super high spec machine and it does it too.
Awesome thanks so much for the input! So many gems you pass along I appreciate your time!!🙏
What ref monitor do you grade to?
Flanders Scientific DM 250 OLED via Ultrastudio Extreme 4K 3 over SDI
