how to change display color space for Mercury Transmit display

[Thaumar]

I'm working in ACES 1.3 Studio v1, and my working color space is ACEScg. I can set the diplay color space for my monitors, but I can't find where to set the display color space for the Mercury Transmit display (a HDMI connected UHD tv). The colors and contrast are way off, only when I set the working color space to none or an sRGB color space do I get a more 'normal' looking image. I'd like to work in ACEScg and be able to preview on a HDMI connected TV.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

You check and change the setting in Project Settings.

File menu > Project Settings > Color tab > Color Engine (OCIO) option and Display Color Space option

yeah... that doesn't change the Mercury Transmit display color space (at least not for me), only on the computer monitor (composition/layer/footage panels, and then there is also a pull-down menu on these panels). It does nothing for the external HDMI connected TV with Mercury Transmit. 

Only changing the working color space changes the color on the external HDMI connected TV, but I would like to use it while working in the ACEScg colorspace. It seems to show a display-raw profile or something, I don't know.

Is there a way to use the Mercury Transmit while using ACEScg color working space? Is there a way to set the Display Color Space for the Mercury Transmit connected HDMI TV like you can do for the composition/layer/footage panels?

I came here for the same problem,

my second monitor is using Mercury Transmit, and it seems to display "None"/"Raw",

not a correct ACES -> sRGB conversion like the standard Compostion Window will... 

My workaround is to use View -> New Viewer, but it does not work optimally with the Ram Preview... 

Any tips to solve this is highly appreciated.

The After Effects team still seem to be asleep on this. The current workaround is use OCIO Display Transform a comp up so you can jump to it every time you want to show your client what the image actually looks like.

Can an Adobe employee elborate on why we are still waiting for this? Is there any reason why the OCIO DT can't be built-in to Mercury Transmit?

I flagged this nearly a year ago.

This is a huge oversight. Basically, it renders external monitors useless when using a color-managed monitor which makes client-attended sessions a nightmare. Why mercury transmit cannot have the same ODT as the comp viewer I do not know.
