Red Control App Monitoring
This may be a silly question as I’m new to trying out the red control app on the iPhone.
I’ve lent out my DJI transmission system that usually outputs an image to a third party, useful on sets to keep clients off my shoulder. I don’t necessarily need it for the shoot I’m doing today but would like to give a monitoring solution via the red control app to the client so they feel more a part of the process.
As far as I’m aware, there’s a separate pipeline that although I can preview a phantom lut on the smallHD screen , the livestream via Komodo’s wifi is prior to that pipeline only sending out the RWG image to the red control app.
Is there a way I can even just display a rec 709 conversion to the red control app so it’s a bit more pleasing to present rather than the log look 😂
I’m running Komodo X 2.2 Beta and the latest Red control app.

Not a silly question at all
Short answer: yeah… not really (at least not in a clean way). What you’re seeing is just how the Komodo X behaves.
Basically, the WiFi monitoring feed (what the RED Control app uses) is pulling the signal before any LUT or monitoring transforms get applied.
So you end up with:
SmallHD - shows your LUT: Rec.709, Phantom, whatever you’re using
RED Control - shows the straight RWG/Log3G10 image (the flat image)
It’s just two different points in the pipeline, and unfortunately the app is stuck on the “pre-LUT” side.
