Monitor calibration suggestions for video capturing/editing workflow
Does the approach is the same for calibrating monitor for VHS capture vs traditional photo editing?
I know that the first thing to do is to have a decent calibration. Right now I have a LG Flatron W2243T...I don't know if I will have the money for IPS monitor. Anyway I would like to pratice some "free workflow calibration" to get some experience. I know that there is many protocol on the web (I even read some talks that involve playing with video card setting!!!), but since it's for VHS capture (not photo editing), I want to be sure that I got right suggestions. Waiting for suggestions... Thanks |

Here's a post from about a year ago: http://www.digitalfaq.com/forum/home...libration.html It's still valid information. I may actually add an update to that older thread, because there are some Spyder competitors out there. When using LED light-source LCDs, be sure the calibration gadget will work with it. Some only work with CCFL light-source LCDs, not LED. Aside from that, the more you spent, the nicer the gadget and features. Some are under $75, some are $150+ |
I am reading a lot about understanding color space. So many questions!
Stricly from a technical point of view. We have a VHS tape with a define color space. Once it goes thru the ATI AIW it's converted into a other color space sRGB? Right? Since VGA monitor connection is analogs signal! and assume that I have LCD (IPS monitor) I mean should it better to use DVI instead of VGA? If I look at the connector on my ATI card it look like this I am stuck with VGA connector. Should I use a card with DVI connector Or if I use VGA, I should use a CTR monitor!? =============== In a others idea of order... Anyone have ever use something similar for calibration? or it just belong to another time.... |

The video is a YUV space, which varies on codec. 4:2:2 lossless Huffyuv, for example. Or 4:2:0 MPEG-2. Quote:

Simply use VGA on a good LCD. The monitor quality matters more than DVI vs VGA. Quote:
Sometimes you'll just confuse yourself if you read too deeply. ;) |

I would like to know when you (the experts) are talking about Can they capture VHS? or this is just for "gamer".... Wich model it included? The card with the ATI AVIVO technology? This kind of plug called VIVO Audio is entering how on this card? Quote:
1)Does it means that I will have rely on this small window to do my adjustments (color, noise, saturation, etc) ? Problably that I can do some testing at full windows I guess, but during the capture I will have to rely on small windows if I want to do some micro-adjustements... 2)I saw what a calibration tool can do for a monitor, I guess if you want to do good restoration, you go to get a good preview. You have to put the cursor on the images to see the diffrence... |
You calibrate the monitor before capturing -- it's not realtime, done during captures.
Therefore it's a non-issue. ---------------- The graphics half of All-In-Wonder cards were marketed to video gamers. But gamers rarely cared about video. Video folks liked the Theatre 100/200 chipsets, and could not care less about the graphics GPU/RAM.

Once you have the calibration gear and software, you'll understand it all better. Right now the questions are sort of odd, because they don't really apply to how calibration is done. :) Read my last post again, too -- I edited it. |

Ah, I think I understand now.
You want to correct the color of the video on the already-calibrated monitor? If that's the case, just use your eyes. jmac has also mentioned some methods of leveraging Avisynth as a live meter. It doesn't appear that he posted it in this thread, but it was one of the other recent threads on a similar topic. |
