What is a Livegrade 7?

Pomfort Livegrade 7 is a professional on-set color grading and video monitoring application used by DITs and colorists to manage live camera looks during production. It connects to multiple cameras, video I/O devices, and LUT boxes, enabling precise real-time color adjustments, LUT management, and metadata capture. Livegrade 7 supports HDR and ACES workflows, integrates with tools like RePro and Silverstack, and records reference stills or graded clips for continuity and dailies. It’s widely used on film and TV sets to ensure the director, cinematographer, and post teams share the same visual intent from capture through delivery.

How to output Livegrade to your RePro Program?

Create a new program in RePro:

If you don’t already have a program setup in RePro, then you’ll need to create one.

Click Programs in the left menu of your Project manager.
Click Create Program at the top right.

In the Add Program popup:

Choose a Program colour for easy visual identification
Enter a Program name (maximum 25 characters)
Enter a Program short name for easy identification
Configure encryption passphrases for input and output
Enable or disable DVR (if applicable)
Option to enable custom ports (for advanced set up only)

Click Add to create the Program.

The Program will appear in the Program list after a confirmation popup.

Finding Program SRT Input Information

The program you have created is your entrypoint into the RePro platform, so you need to find the SRT input information to send your stream from Reeltime Pro to the right place:

Click Programs in the left menu of your Project manager.
Click on the Program to open the right side-panel.
Under the Program Inputs, you will see the Full Input URL.
Copy the Full Input URL using the copy icon.

Configuring Your Output in Livegrade 7

You will now need to input the RePro Program’s Full Input URL identified in the previous step into the Output settings in Livegrade 7.

Open up the slot manager (or use the ⌘D shortcut).
Select an Output in the left column.
Option to rename Output to match RePro Program.
On the right-hand column, click the Device drop down.
Select Internet Stream.
In the Choose Service drop down, select RePro Stream.
In the Input URL field, copy the Full Input URL information from your RePro program.
This will automatically populate the port and password information.
Configure the Framerate, Format and Bitrate which will depend on your video source and internet connection speed (2.5 Mbps is set as standard bitrate).

Click start to begin streaming to RePro.

Confirm you are streaming to RePro

Head back over to your RePro Project. In the Dashboard you should now see a green line connecting your program to your channel. Hover your cursor over the program and it should now display a green Online.

Now head into the Viewer, select the correct channel and your video will be available to all your assigned users.

Troubleshooting

Output stream won’t configure in Livegrade 7

In the Livegrade 7 Slot Manager:

Check you have selected Output (not Input)
Check you have selected RePro stream from the Internet Stream Service drop down menu.
Check that the Input URL field begins with srt://

Stream is arriving in RePro but not seeing any video

Check you have configured the Input Slot if you are sending live video from Livegrade 7 to the Output Slot.
Check your Output frame rate and format have been configured correctly to ensure there is no conflict with your live incoming frame rate and format.

The video in RePro stutters or has artifacts

Check the Internet connection where you are sending video from Livegrade 7. If the upload speed is poor, try lowering the bitrate in the Output Slot.
If the Internet speeds are poor where your users are, you could try adding latency in RePro in the Program settings, or increase the Buffer in the RePro Viewer App by pressing on the video icon.
