Connecting Devices in CalMAN
Start DaVinci Resolve and create a new timeline. There must be content in your timeline before starting
calibration.
Verify that the monitor is receiving a signal from Resolve then click on the Color Tab in Resolve.
Click on the Workspace menu in Resolve. Select Monitor Calibration. Select CalMAN. A pop-up dialog
in Resolve will request an IP address, which can be found once you start CalMAN.
Start CalMAN and Select
Open Workflow Template -> Calibration -> 3D LUT
from the menu at top left.
Once the 3D LUT workflow template opens select the
3D LUT Only
option.
Follow the prompts to connect your meter.
Next select
Find Source
and select DaVinci Resolve as your Pattern Source. Select
Connect
and take
note of the IP address listed. Enter this IP address in Resolve and press Connect. Do not close the
Calibration network connection window in Resolve as this will terminate your connection.
Return to CalMAN and Select
Find Display -> Flanders Scientific -> FSI XM Monitor
. Type in the IP
address of your monitor as found on the monitor’s System Menu, then select
Connect
.
Press NEXT to continue with the calibration process.
Calibrating the Monitor
In CalMAN set your Calibration Targets, for example Whitepoint: D65, ColorSpace: Rec709, EOTF:
Gamma 2.4. Then select NEXT.
You can skip the Pre Cal Capture step if you like, this is optional. However, before continuing select the
FSI monitor tab at top right and select Full DDC Reset. This step will load UNITY LUTs to the selected
calibration position. Loading UNITY LUTs returns the monitor to its native, uncalibrated state, which is
necessary before continuing with the calibration process. Please ensure you are resetting the LUT ID
memory that corresponds to the memory position you are saving LUTs to on the monitor.
ID1 = BT.709 memory position on the monitor
ID2 = P3 memory position on the monitor
ID3 = BT.2020 memory position on the monitor
For example, if you have the monitor’s Gamut position currently set to BT.709 memory position you will
want to reset and save LUTs to ID1.
Note: Please ensure that the File Format listed matches the LUT mode currently selected on the moni-
tor. FSI Advanced Mode 33 is for LUT Mode: Advanced. FSI Normal Mode 17 is for LUT Mode: Normal.
More details on Normal and Advanced LUT modes can be found in the XM311K user manual.
