01PARADE OFX
DaVinci Resolve
Place the passthrough effect on your last node. Parade hardware-encodes the graded image as 10-bit HEVC and advertises it automatically on your LAN.

Trust the image.
Parade Video turns iPad into a serious HDR monitor and image-analysis toolkit for colorists and DITs—from the grading suite to the set.

THE MONITOR
Picture, signal, and decision—in one place.
Parade keeps the video full and the tools close. Scopes float above the image, remember their positions, and get out of the way when you need to judge the grade.

INPUTS
One viewer.
From grade to set.
Walk from Resolve to a live set without changing how you evaluate the image. Every source enters the same color-managed display and GPU scope engine.
02HDMI / SDI TO USB
Direct UVC capture
Connect a compatible capture device straight to iPad. Parade selects its highest available resolution and frame rate, then sends the picture through the same Metal scopes pipeline.

Stream any SDI source live over your network from a DeckLink device with the companion streaming encoder app — coming soon.
SCOPES & ANALYSIS
Eight ways to stop guessing.
Fast, tactile tools for exposure, color, focus, keying, and continuity. Use them together, isolate a sampled region, or blow a single scope up full-screen.
RGB waveform
Signal-level traces with draggable, resizable panels, temporal smoothing, low-pass conditioning, and full-screen inspection.
Vectorscope
A colorized chroma trace with Rec.709 or Rec.2020 math, adjustable 1–8× gain, and a clean target graticule.
RGB histogram
See channel distribution at a glance. Move it, resize it, or double-tap it into a distraction-free full-screen view.
Exposure false color
An EL Zone-style stop map built from display-linear luminance, adapted for SDR, PQ, and HLG monitoring.
HSL qualifier
Tap a tone, then refine hue, saturation, and luminance windows with softness controls—Resolve-style and live on the picture.
Multi-point IRE
Place and drag up to eight persistent spot meters. Compare faces, cards, practicals, and backgrounds without losing context.
Uniformity key
Sample a screen color and reveal distance bands or a keyed checker view. Uneven green-screen and blue-screen lighting becomes obvious.
Focus peaking
Choose edge, fine-detail, outline, or soft peaking, then set sensitivity, overlay strength, color, and a monochrome underlay.
COLOR PIPELINE
HDR that reaches
the display.
Parade does the color math explicitly: 10-bit Y′CbCr decoding, the correct transfer function, source primaries into Display P3, and an extended-linear Metal surface for real EDR output on capable iPads.

RESOLVE → iPAD
A clean local path.
No cloud in the middle.
The OFX is a transparent passthrough: Resolve keeps rendering your image while Parade makes a compact, joinable monitor stream for any Parade client on the LAN.

Timeline paused? Parade refreshes the last frame every second, so late joiners still see the current grade.
TOUCH-FIRST
Built for the hand,
not a mouse.
Pinch into focus, pan with two fingers, draw a sample oval, place IRE probes, and move scopes around the exact part of the frame you are judging.
