Resolve output to your encoder

Your clients see what you send to the encoder. Usually that is the same signal that feeds your grading monitor.

  1. In Resolve, open Project Settings › Master Settings › Video Monitoring and set the video format and SDI or HDMI output for your project.
  2. Connect a spare SDI or HDMI output of your DeckLink or UltraStudio to your hardware encoder, or loop through from your monitor feed.
  3. Your clients now see exactly the timeline viewer, without Resolve’s interface.

A LUT box between the output and the encoder is optional. Clients watch on many different displays, so most colorists send a clean Rec. 709 signal.

With OBS on the grading computer

  1. In Resolve, choose Workspace › Video Clean Feed and pick a second display. Resolve shows the viewer full screen there.
  2. In OBS, capture that display or window and stream it with the OBS settings.

This works without extra hardware, but it uses CPU and GPU on your grading computer. For long sessions a hardware encoder is the calmer choice.
