HP dreamcolor calibration solution on Snow Leopard

[Gunleik Groven]

Hi.

Anyone have the calibrator for Dreamcolor running on Snow Leopard.

The control-panel sees the device, but the clibration software tells me it is not there...


Cheers

Hi Gunleik

I am interested in this as well as I was seriously considering moving to Dreamcolor..

Would you be so kind to explain how your Dreamcolor is connected to the Mac if you can spare some time?. I guess you are managing to view 10 bit 4:4:4 RGB via Sdi from the card then into the converter then into the Dreamcolor right? Or am I completely off heh...

Thanks

Do u have the dreamcolor plugged into the comp via usb?

I don't think the software was ever updated for Snow Leopard. You have to use an older version of OS X or Windows. Really a shame.

10 bit:
AJA hi5 dual SDI to hdmi.
Works like a charm

Really happy with this monitor so far...

Hm....
That ain't gonna work, as the profile seems to reside on the comp.

Seems some have managed to make it work:

I calibrate my monitor, i'm on snow leopard. is the firmeare up to date on the dreamcolor? you need to do that on a PC.

Thanks and sorry!

This seems to be a "ghost in the machine" issue.

After a couple of more installs and restarts, it just worked...

Sorry!

And thanks!

Good think you figured this thing out as anyone with a dreamcolor would need to calibrate every so often..

Thanks for the setup. just one little thing. Do you use Davinci on that setup? or just other color grading software..

 

[Gunleik Groven]

Quick followup.

When you manage to install the software, ther is an updte link in there...

Seems to work pretty well. No Resolve on this particular setup, ot's a DIT station, seems to need to be calibrated quite frequently...

Cheers!
