The broadcast monitor output should support 10 bit per channel, but
unfortunately (last time I heard) the standard Nuke viewer can still
only do 8 bit I'm afraid. All standard video cards (i.e. those that
aren't specifically broadcast monitor output cards) will at present use
the standard Nuke viewer.

Yes, as far as I know both the viewer and broadcast monitor supports
only output of 8 bpc.

When I checked on this last, Nuke was not capable of sending a
10-bit signal to the video card even if 10 bpp color is enabled in
the drivers. Has this been addressed in a subsequent version, or
maybe 6.3?

Hi,
we got dell u2711 monitors, and geforce 580 gtx cards (with
displayport). We want to check the cards if they are capable
of 10bit display or not (win7, gtx580, display cable, u2711).
But we are having problem making a proper test. We tried
viewing the usual ramp.psd (from ati) in photoshop cs5 (as
some adobe forum topic suggested), with performance options
set properly, but the ramp remained striped. It wasn't a
surprise, but it was when the same happened with a quadro fx
1800 also (with which should be fine).
We checked with moninfo.exe, and it displayed that the
geforces are using 10 bit color.
In nuke setting the viewer to half-float, and checking "use
gpu for viewer" makes ramp smooth on any monitor/card, not
just the dell/geforce.
So my question: is there a way to test 10bit display mode for
sure? Or is there anyone using similar monitor/card combo and
can confirm? I read a lot forum topics, but the statements are
contradictory, some saying the geforce drivers are not
supporting yet, some aren't. Any advice on this?
Thanks,
Gabor
