MacOS still does not support 10-bit color at all in OS. You must you some k=
ind of external monitor hardware that supports 10-bit via certain drivers f=
or apps to see 10-bit on the Mac.

Windows supports 10-bit via Quadro and ATI Fire cards. Of course you have t=
o apps the display/output in 10-bit to see the advantages.  Obviously , Win=
dows can also work external 10-bit etc. with external monitoring.

I have 10-bit working just fine and wish more apps fully supported it as it=
 is really nice.

Well, I have two different DreamColor monitors, and they both do 10 bits-pe=
r-channel colors at several frame rates via DisplayPort.
Then again, I'm on PC, and my world may be very different from yours. But t=
he DreamColor monitors sure can do 30-bit (10 per channel) color at differe=
nt frame rates.

If you feed 10-bit color to the DreamColor, and it's calibrated to Rec709 -=
 then Rec709 is what you see. I do this through DisplayPort.=20
On a Mac, or through HDMI, I'm not sure how that works.=20

I have the HP DreamColor display, and it only goes into "Deep Color" =3D mo=
de when fed a 60Hz signal thru DisplayPort or HDMI 1.2.  The way you =3D ge=
t it to play other frame rates (like 23.976) is to put a converter, =3D lik=
e the AJA HDP2 between your video card's SDI out and the HDMI to =3D Displa=
yport cable=3D85 and wondering what the analogous options are for =3D this =
display.

I also have a question about how Adobe Ae and Pr handle color spaces =3D wh=
en using the computer's HDMI outputs without a converter box.  If it's =3D =
Full RGB, that's not very useful for broadcast work, right?
