# Video Image

The Video Image Panel lets you change or adjust various options of the Video Image and Display Monitor.

**Source Panel**

The **Source Panel** allows you to adjust or reinterpret certain **General Properties** of a media file. If the file contains additional source-specific properties, a new section will appear below the **General Properties** area, organized into relevant sub-sections.

**General Properties**

In this section, you can adjust or reinterpret the following settings (where applicable):

* **Field Order**\
  Reinterpret the field order as **Progressive**, **Upper Field First**, or **Lower Field First**.

  > *Note: This setting does not affect playback—only exports.*
* **Resolution**\
  Currently not adjustable. Displayed for informational purposes only.
* **Aspect Ratio**\
  Reinterpret the display aspect ratio of the media.

  > *This change will be reflected visually in the viewer.*
* **HW Decode (Hardware Decoding)**\
  Enable or disable **GPU-based decoding** for supported media types.

  > *Useful if hardware decoding causes playback issues or artifacts.*
* **Valid Closed I-Frames**\
  Some **Long-GOP** media may incorrectly label **Open I-Frames** as **Closed**, which can lead to decoding artifacts.\
  Unchecking this option will treat Closed I-Frames as Open I-Frames, improving playback accuracy for affected files.

#### **Color Space Panel**

The **Color Space** panel allows you to manage and convert the color characteristics of the currently selected media file.

**Source Color Space**

In this section, you can manually set or override the detected **Source Color Space** and **Source Color Level** of the media.

**Destination Color Space**

Here, you can convert the media from its source color space and level to a selected **Destination Color Space** and **Color Level**. When applicable, you can also apply:

* **HDR-to-SDR white point conversions**
* **Gamma and tone mapping adjustments** for accurate color remapping

Additionally, you can set the destination color space using **Video Look Presets** saved under **Preferences → Import Media → Color Space**.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Monitor" %}

**Monitor Options**

**Global Display Settings**

* **Map Video to Full for Display**\
  When enabled, this global option remaps media files encoded with **Video Levels** to **Full Levels** for on-screen display.
* **Bit Depth**\
  If you're using a monitor that supports **10-bit or higher output**, you can enable 10-bit display for media files that contain 10-bit (or greater) image data.
* **2nd Display** *(Pro License required)*\
  Toggles the **Second Video Output Window** on or off, allowing full-screen output to a secondary display.

***

#### **Monitor Color Space** *(Pro License required)*

The **Monitor Color Space** section allows you to convert the media file’s original **Color Space and Level** to the desired **Monitor Output Color Space and Level**.\
When appropriate, the following transformations can be applied:

* **HDR-to-SDR white point conversions**
* **Gamma and tone mapping**

You can also **save** or **load Monitor Look Presets** for quick configuration.

***

#### **Monitor LUT** *(Pro License required)*

In the **Monitor LUT** section, you can apply a **3D LUT (Look-Up Table)** globally across all media for monitor output.

You can also **save** or **load Monitor LUT Presets** for consistent color workflows.
