Reference Monitor Help

Hi i am using primiere pro cc, i want to connect my sony led tv as a reference monitor,can u tell me how to connect this?plzzz urgent requirement.............

Check your NVIDIA Control Panel (Right-Click on Desktop),
and make sure you have the HDMI monitor enabled:
Then, the monitor should appear as a choice when you launch Premiere:

Premiere CS6 reference monitor blacks out!!

I am using PPCS6 on a windows 7 machine and it has been fine up until today, now the reference monitors on screen and my external monitors just keep going black and I have to save, exit and open it again for clear it but it only lasts a couple of minutes before it does it again.
No plug ins, updates etc were installed since yesterday when it was working fine.
Any help?

Welcome to the forum.
The first thing that I would investigate would be my video driver(s).
What is the make and model of your video card?
What is the currently installed version and date, for the video driver?
Is that the latest from nVidia, or AMD/ATI? If not, download, install and test the latest version.
Good luck,
Hunt

Multi-cam vs. the Reference monitor

I use multi-cam to cut two views together.
Each view is in its own sequence, and those two sequences are the two tracks in the "multicam source"
While viewing the "multicam destination" sequence, I often use the Application-wide keyboard shortcut to "Toggle Multi-camera View".
I like to keep the Reference Monitor up with some scopes on it while editing, to keep an eye on the relative color between the two cameras.
Sometimes, the Reference Monitor pops back to "Composite" view, instead of my scopes. It happens SOMETIMES when I use the hotkey to
toggle Multi-camera view.
Whether it changes the Reference Monitor view depends on which panel has focus when I hit the hot key!
1) If the Program monitor has focus, and I hit the hot key to toggle Multi-Camera View, no problem, the Ref monitor stays on scopes as I want.
2) If the Timeline panel has focus, then the silly Reference Monitor pops back to Composite View.
FYI, I checked, and there is no specific Timeline panel hotkey using the same keystroke (I am using shift-6)
Any idea if there is something to prevent the Ref Monitor from changing its settings from scopes to Composite like this?
I doubt this is an intended behavior, probably just an odd edge case.
I do see that the Program Monitor panel has an available keyboard shortcut called "Multi-Camera", but since I don't have the problem when focus is in the Program Monitor, I don't think this is relevant. (I have it assigned to no keyboard shortcut right now).
As a side note, It would be really nice if the program monitor could remember for each sequence whether it should be showing "Multi-Camera View" or not.
I often have to switch between looking at the multi-cam destination, and looking at other sequences... and it makes no sense that those other sequences should be viewed in Multi-cam mode, just because some other sequence was being viewed in multi-cam mode. No?

Right,
So here was the problem, in case any of you people out there are going nuts with what appears to be a broken project.
In the timeline above the multicam layer, I was dropping in graphics. I was cutting and pasting them in.
In order to do so I have to highlight the layer that I want to drop the graphics onto.
As shown below.
As soon as a layer gets a highlight other than the Multicam layer, the Program Monitor will no longer show multicam.
Remove the highlighted layer as seen below.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers..

Reference monitor for digital cinema workflow

We use the Digital cinema workflow to create 2K title sequences for theatres. We plan to ad a 2K reference monitor into our workflow. The problem is that the video-out path for preview on reference monitors is not color-managed.
Is there a way to see a correct image on a referrence monitor in adjusting the monitor with LUTs?
Where can I find the needed LUTs?
Which monitor do You recommend?
I use After Effects CS3, Mac OSX 10.5.5, 2x2,8 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xenon, 6GB RAM, Blackmagic HDExtreme2, Grafic card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT

I'm trying to find out much the same thing. I would assume that anyone knows the answers can help both of us.
I'm purchasing a new Mac Pro desktop. I also use final cut but not after effects.
I actually have 4 monitors to choose from. 2 Dell 19" - One 27" Apple cinema display and a spector High Def 1080i monitor that has a DVI input.
I would like to use one of the Dell's as my primary home desk top monitors with folders and all the usual dock and stuff. I would like to use the cinema display as my primary final cut work surface.
I would like to use the HD monitor to show HD footage and use it as a client monitor. Remember it has a DVI input.
I've talked with the folks at the Local Apple store and they are not sure if I will get a real HD signal on the HD monitor if I add a second radeon 2700 card to the computer and take on of those DVI outputs and attach it to the HD monitor.
If thats not possible can I use the apple cinema display as my playback monitor?
Or do I have to go with a conversion box like a mxo, AJA board, or decklink box.
The goal is to have two monitors for the program and One monitor in HD for the client monitor,
Thanks everyone in advance.

Pro-Consumer Needs 5.1 Monitor Help

Hi Guys,
I have been searching and searching google/bing and so on, about setting up a 5.1 audio reference monitor system.
Some tips work half way through, some tips dont work at all. So I am posting this here to maybe help other people as well that is in my situation.
Computer Setup:
Mac Pro - using the Opital Out Port
JVC Receiver - using the Optical In Port - 5.1 Speaker Setup up
Logic Pro - 9.1.7 - using Plug-In from Waves to work on Stereo -> Surround Upmix
My Project:
I have a Stereo (L/R) Feature that I need to upmix to 5.1. I am using a really cool plugin from Waves that works very well. The issues is that I can not reference the audio channels. I mean, during the upmix process I am trying to scrub during dialogue and I can not hear the center channel.
Questions:
From a Pro-Consumer position, were my budget is limitied, what is the best way to output 5.1 audio in Logic Pro or Final Cut Pro?
What are the settings for the computer?
Thanks to anyone that reads this and beer cheer to anyone that replies.

The optical out is just a stereo connection, so you need a different interface to send audio to those different speaker outputs.

CS6 Using RGB Color Corrector effect, Reference Monitor will not update?

When the current tine indicator is on a clip using RGB Color Corrector effect, the Reference window will not update.
And not only doesn't it update the data on the graph, but if you change the type of scope (Display Mode) (e.g. from RGB Parade to Vectorscope), that also doesn't change until you move the CTI to view a clip without the RGB Color Corrector effect on.
Anybody can help me to fix this problem, it is very important to me, many thanks!!!

Take a look here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSCB566F37-A8BA-4b43-8BD2-B6467AAE930E.ht ml
Here the appropriate quotation from the help:
Gang the Reference Monitor and Program Monitor
You can gang the Reference Monitor and the Program Monitor so that both always monitor the same frame.
Do one of the following:
In the Reference Monitor, click the Gang To Program Monitor button .
In the Reference Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Program Monitor.
In the Program Monitor’s panel menu, choose Gang To Reference Monitor.
Both Monitors show the same frame. Moving the playhead in either the Reference Monitor, the Program Monitor, or the Timeline will move the playheads in the other two to the same frame.

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP?

I recently had a kernel panic in which I think my hard drive only had so much space left after I ran a bunch of drivers I thought I needed. I uninstalled all and moved files. For some odd reason I'm not getting sound of of my hdtv/monitor.HELP? I uninstalled all the drives and apps I download. I moived files either to trash if not needed, and others to other external drives. I went into disk utility and did a repair disk permission and verify disk. Clean out junk files. Now my hdtv/monitor does not give me any sound, nor does my mac mini. Can someone please tell me what to do?

What drivers?

Only showing frame in reference monitor that I am paused on

This seems to have just started happening out of no where.
My reference monitor is no longer playing through the project and showing each frame, it will only show the frames if I scrub through them or pause / start on them.
All I did was put in a new audio track (which I removed but didn't solve the problem)

One has never been able to play footage nor have realtime scopes in the reference monitor.
You can only scrub to make it move.
Only Source monitor and Program monitor play realtime.

MacBook Pro display usable as a reference monitor for a camera shoot?

I am shooting a video project and wish to try and use my 17" Mac Pro display screen as a reference monitor on a live mini-DV camera shoot for focus and color versus lugging around a heavier CRT and battery back. Will the MacPro display be sufficient to significantly judge color, exposure, and focus? I know it's not ideal, but with improvements in LCD displays over the last few years I would like to hear from other users who may have tried using their display screens in this way and see what their results were.
Many thanks,
John

While the answer in itself is probably no, you could however spend some time to get yourself a known comparitive situation. With some careful calibration and comparison to a final result you should be able to get it to a point where, while not perfect, you know what you're going to get.
By the way, the matte display will produce far more consistent colour than the glossy display.
Utlimately though for the best results the suggested CRT solution is the one to go for even though it's somewhat a pain.

The InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and where can I find a description of this function?

the InitCVIRTE function is not listed in the NIDAQ function reference online help? Why? and what does she do?and where can I find a description of this function? Can i use this function with visualc++ 6.0?

The InitCVIRTE function is in the CVI run time engine (cvirte.dll)..not part of NI-DAQ.
Applications written or using CVI may call this function..
How are you running into this ?
From the CVI help...
This function performs initialization of the CVI Run-Time Engine. It is needed only in executables or DLLs that are linked using an external compiler. Otherwise, it is harmless.
It should be called in your main, WinMain, or DllMain, function. The parameter values you should pass depend on which of these three functions you are calling InitCVIRTE from. The following examples show how to use InitCVIRTE in each case.
If you are using main, your code should be as follows.
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
if (InitCVIRTE (0, argv, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are using WinMain, your code should be as follows.
int __stdcall WinMain (HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdLine,
int nCmdShow)
if (InitCVIRTE (hInstance, 0, 0) == 0)
return -1; /* out of memory */
/* your other code */
return 0;
If you are creating a DLL, you must call InitCVIRTE and CloseCVIRTE in your DllMain function, as in the following.
int __stdcall DllMain (void *hinstDLL, int fdwReason,
void *lpvReserved)
if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
if (InitCVIRTE (hinstDLL, 0, 0) == 0)
return 0; /* out of memory */
/* your other ATTACH code */
else if (fdwReason == DLL_PROCESS_DETACH)
/* your other DETACH code */
CloseCVIRTE ();
return 1;
NOTE: The prototype for InitCVIRTE is in cvirte.h, not
utility.h.
NOTE: In CVI 4.0.1, this function was expanded from one to
three parameters. Executables and DLLs that were
created using the one-parameter version of the function
will continue to work properly.
/*-------------------- Prototype ---------------------*/
int InitCVIRTE (void *HInstance, char *Argv[], void *Reserved);

Reference monitor doesn't play simultaneously in real time? How is it used?

I thought the point is to have two monitors playing back simultaneously for scopes / composite or to send to a secondary feed for clients, similar to video village on set.

Not sure why you started a new thread on this ..but anyway.
The reference monitor is not designed or suitable for a secondary feed to external monitors.
It is used to have two looks at same frame eg a composite and a scope
or two looks at different frames eg unganged . This maybe for a CC and grading comparison.
It is not absolutely vital that it plays in real time for either of these instances.

2 Reference monitors for Waveform/Vectorscope

CS3 - Is there a way to add a second reference monitor? The first for waveform and the second for vectorscope? I don't care for the combined ones because they are too small. Also, is there a way to make it default to waveform every time PP starts instead of having to change it to that mode every time? Finally, what does it take to make them display realtime while the video plays?
Thanks!
C

I don't think there is a way (I would love to learn there is, though).
But you know what? I agree completely (and I made sure this was heard) that WFM and Vectorscope are the essential ones and that the existing combo options make them way too tiny. What we need is not a second reference monitor, but these two things: one one hand, more versalite combination options (so you can have whichever two you want, side by side). On the other, the scopes display shouldn't have a fixed aspect like it does now. It should resize, even deform, the scope display so that it fits horizontally as you drag the reference panel as you like.

Which Studio Reference Monitors for a video edit suite?

Sorry that this questions does not have to much to do with Final Cut/Logic Pro though i don't know where i can ask people how know an video edit suite.
I'm looking at buying some Studio reference monitor and have found a pair i think are going to have what i need, untill the question of what happens if i wanted to go from a 2 monitor system and then the need came around for editing 5.1 dolby sound.
The monitors i'm looking at are Roland DS-5 2-way active digital Reference monitors. these have built in amps.
thanks for the help

my suggestion would be to get something that's an industry standard. that way you can somewhat insure that you're hearing what everyone else is hearing. this is important. i use genelec monitors and i love them. if you have a small room get some 1030 or 8040 monitors.. if you have a larger room, go for a pair of 1031's or 8050's.. then add from there.. also make sure to get a totally passive attenuator: ie.. a-designs atty, or maybe even go into the dangerous line to if you want surrond.. also you have the nautilus stuff and more.. but make sure to take the standard high road and you won't regret it in the end. i have gone from totally crappy monitors to genelecs and everything in between. which means that i have lost money on upgrades when i should have just started with the standard from the beginning..

Using reference monitor with master clip

I love the ability to color correct the master source rather than each timeline clip! I love it so much that I want to color correct my master clips independently of the editing process but the problem is that I cannot get the reference monitor to display a scope that is synchronized to the master source clip.
In working around this the old way, edit-first, I still find often that other parts of the master clip (not chosen for a sequence) are much better for color correction (like a good face or a color calibration card.) Thus I assume there is a way to do this that I do not understand? (Or, alternately, am I thinking about it wrong?)
Thank you!

I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
@shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/

Is Reference Monitor Real Time?

I never questioned this before but is the reference monitor realtime?
The behavior i get is....
frames update when i scrub
shows color changes
freezes when i plat the SEQ
It has always done that but I was wondering it it could play simultaneously with the SEQ. Its set to composite video now.

Unfortunately, you cannot get live playback from both the Program and Reference Monitors simultaneously. It's a design flaw, in my view, that greatly limits the usefulness of the Reference Monitor. Please let Adobe know you'd like it corrected.
