Color management

Click Options in the toolbar below the main menu and select Global Options - Color management on the left. Here you define whether and how color management is to be effective.

Input

If you check the box next to Use embedded color profiles of picture files Wings Vioso RX automatically considers the file profile for displaying the image on the screen during display data creation. Note: If you change this setting you need to delete the display data and recreate them. Otherwise the setting only takes effect on the newly created display data.

Important: Wings Vioso RX can only read color profiles in JPG- and TIF-format!

Output

If your monitors or data projectors are calibrated and their properties defined in an ICC color profile, Wings Vioso RX can use for the output of pictures. The following options are available:

Use sRGB/HDTV color space ... results in color output in the standardized sRGB- and HDTV color space. Your output device should correspond to the sRGB/HDTV color space as closely as possible to achieve good results. Output devices with larger color space are not suitable for this setting as the colors may become oversaturated.
Use color profile ... allows selection of a color profile. Here you should preferably specify the individual color profile of your monitor or data projector. Output is the directly in the output device's color space which ensures correct color rendering for devices with a large color space.

After changing the color profile you need to restart Wings Vioso RX for the color profile to be activated. After restarting Wings Vioso recreate the display data if option Create color converted display data has been chosen (default setting). See also Creating display data for images.

Below the selection box the color profile is displayed that is currently used for the primary output device.
Please note that color management is not effective for thumbnail icons which may result in color deviations of the thumbnails in the Media Pool and in the objects.
Since you can only select one color profile you need to do the fine adjustment for the individual display units via the display color controls. This can very conveniently be achieved via the automatic, camera-based Wings VIOSO multidisplay calibration.
During video rendering the image graphics data is always converted to sRGB to make it comptatible with the video color space BT.709.
Wings Vioso RX converts videos to the playback device's target color space while considering the source color space of videos BT.601, BT.709, BT.2020 and DCI-P3. Conversion is done in realtime during playback.

Under Pictures you need to enter the way color is converted:

Create color-converted display data ...converts the display data into the output device's color space. Since this is done before the presentation it saves performance but calls for a recreation of display data as soon as a different monitor or video projector is used. Wings Vioso RX, however, supports several display data sets. If you have created display data for your monitor or video projector you can change over between these profiles without having to create new display data. With regard to resolution and color space the display data are in this case linked up with one output device.
Color conversion of display data during presentation ...saves the display data in the original color space and converts them in the main processor during playback. This has the advantage that any changes in the color profile can immediately be considered while playback requires more performance.
