support for 10-bpc display (aka 30-bit or deep colour)
I've been searching around in the forums here, and internet articles on Capture One Pro generally, but can't find a definitive statement one way or the other.
I have a system built for 10 bits per channel - NVidia Quadro M4000 connecting via DisplayPort to an NEC PA242W. I have the requisite drivers and settings, the monitor info panel tells me it's getting the 10-bits per channel.
I have a small PSD file that was built to check for 10 bit support. When viewed in a Affinity Photo, the expected banding is obvious, as AP only supports 8-bit display output.
In Photoshop, with the appropriate setting, the gradient is smooth.
Viewing it in Capture One Pro (v10.2) the gradient is also smooth, leading me to believe that 10-bit display output is supported.
I'd just like a definitive statement saying so <grin>. Does anyone know for sure?

Well, seeing as CaptureOne was made originally for 16bit RAW files from the Phase backs, it's not surprising to see a smooth grad inside the app .. 0 -
I asked Phase One support this week whether adding an entry level workstation card to my current R9 390 would be a viable way to cheaply add 10 bit colour.
Here is the response which I presume would also apply to your Quadro M4000:
"...other software providors may say they support 10 bit and this is the new holy grail. And - Capture One will ofcourse also have support for this - once the hardware and OS (Operating System) not the least - will fully support this. This is not the case now with fully 10 bit support not full 10 bit monitor support despite what others might say. So the short answer to you is that Capture One will not benefit or take advantage of another Graphics card ..."0 -

That caught me out to but then Lightroom also shows a smooth profile so it must be due to the fact you are looking at a pre-view not the original file in both applications. 🤭0 -

Of course ... And, what's more interesting: HDR... And 10bit color depth support

AFAIK WIN10 now supports (in combination with a suitable GPU and monitor) 10 BPC.
However I received this comment from C1 support yesterday:
- Currently Capture One does not support the 10 BPC mode.
- I have forwarded your comments and suggestions on to our Product Management team as something to consider in a future release. Hopefully your feedback contributes towards a future version of Capture One.
