COLOR PIPE

The new Color Pipe allows you to set the color profile of the signal coming into the monitor and assign it by input.  The benefit to this is that you can have different signal types process them at ingest and then apply tools on the back end to correctly reflect the values (waveform, LUT etc). This also allows for a conversion common type conversions, such as LOG to SDR without the need for a LUT.

To change the input workflow, you can build the new pipeline first and then assign it to any input.

To build a new pipe, select the NEW COLOR PIPE.

It will default to REC 709, you can make changes to it by selecting the dropdown.

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 of our 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 cure 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, you should match the color pipe to 2.2.

RANGE has three options:
AUTO: The system will make a calculation based on ingest.
LEGAL: Based on Broadcast standards for Legal range of the color spectrum.

FULL: This will be a complete spectrum of the color range

*Note: Its important to know what type of signal you are sending, if you are unsure, its best to leave set to Auto.

You can also delete a pipe if you want to.

Once the PIPE is created, you can apply it to any or as many inputs as you desire using the selection at the top.  

*Note you can not rename them, but the numbers of the PIPEs (i.e. 1-, 2-, etc) will remain static so you know which one you are selecting.

WALKTHROUGH

Lets set up a Colorpipe for a Slog style (RAW) signal coming from the camera.

The first thing we want to do it set up the color pipe to be 709 Full with a D65 white point and gamma of 2.5 because my camera is putting a 2.5 gamma curve.

We can now apply this to our input.

Our Tools can now be applied and will show us accurate data relating to the Slog signal.
