User Manual

NOTE: If your stereo display is not capable of multiplexing the two incoming
SDI signals by itself, you can accomplish this using an external device to multiplex both
SDI signals into a single stereo 3G signal that will be compatible. Check with your
display manufacturer in advance to see if this is necessary.
The following procedures describe how to set up stereo 3D monitoring in two different ways.
Monitoring via dual SDI to dual SDI:
1 Open the Master Settings panel of the Project Settings, then do the following:
–
Make sure the Use 4:4:4 SDI checkbox is unchecked.
–
Turn on the “Use dual outputs on SDI” checkbox.
2 Open the Stereo 3D palette in the Color page, and do the following:
–
Set Vision to Stereo.
–
Set the Out pop-up menu to None.
NOTE: When “Enable dual SDI 3D monitoring” is turned on, split-screen wipes and
cursors will not be visible on the grading monitor, nor will you be able to view
image resizing.
Setting Up to Display Stereo 3D via HDMI
If your stereo-capable display only has HDMI input, you’ll need to use the HDMI output of a
compatible Blackmagic Design video interface that has HDMI 1.4 or better to output stereo
3Dsignals; see the documentation accompanying your video interface for more information.
Supported Stereo 3D Media
When importing stereo 3D media from other applications, there are two types of media that are
compatible with DaVinci Resolve stereoscopic workflows.
Using Dual Sets of Media in Any Supported Format
When originally shot, the media corresponding to stereo 3D workflows consists of two
directories, one for the left-eye media, and one for the right-eye media. For the most automated
workflow possible, this media must be tightly organized. Each pair of left-eye and right-eye
media files in both directories should have matching timecode, and reel numbers that clearly
indicate which are the left-eye shots, and which are the right-eye shots. When organized in this
way, it’s relatively easy to use DaVinci Resolve to convert each matching pair of clips into the
stereo 3D clips that you’ll need to work in DaVinci Resolve. This process is covered in detail in a
subsequent section.
