User Manual

The Video Monitoring preferences.
Video Output
This group of drop-down menus allows you to select the type of video I/O device you have
installed, the output resolution, and the pixel format. These settings have nothing to do with
your rendered output; it is only for your display hardware.
The Output HDR over HDMI settings are used to output the necessary metadata when sending
high dynamic range signals over HMDI 2.0a and have it correctly decided by an HDR capable
video display.
The Auto setting detects the image’s values and outputs HDR. This will not affect non
HDR images.
The Always setting forces HDR on all the time. This can can be useful when checking non HDR
and HDR grades.
When Auto or Always is selected, you can then set the “nit” level (slang for cd/m2) to whatever
peak luminance level your HDMI connected HDR display is capable of.
Stereo Mode
This group of settings configures the output hardware for displaying stereo 3D content.
 Mono will output a single non stereo eye.
 Auto will detect which method with which the stereo images are stacked.
 Use the Vstack option if the stereo images are stacked vertically as left on top and right
at the bottom.
 Use the Hstack option if the stereo images are stacked horizontally as left and right.
The Swap eyes checkbox will swap the eyes if stereo is reversed.
