How to Color

Pomfort Livegrade
on SmallHD
4K
Production Monitors
Eliminate LUT boxes for on-set color correction by utilizing the newest feature added to SmallHD 4K Production Monitors: Pomfort Livegrade is now an integrated plug-in, enabling colorists and DITs to connect their reference monitor with a computer via single Ethernet cable, transforming their monitor into a dual-purpose color grading tool.
With Small4K Video Processing Architecture, use any of the four independent 12G-SDI or 4K HDMI input ports to ingest a video signal directly from your camera, generate creative LUTs within Livegrade, monitor your corrections on-screen, and send out the adjusted image to your cinematographer or video village--all in real time.
