# Livegrade integration

{% hint style="info" %}
**Requirement** — LiveGrade integration requires **Pomfort LiveGrade 7.1** or later.
{% endhint %}

Live Pack includes native integration with **Pomfort Livegrade**, enabling you to monitor color-graded feeds directly—without the need for SDI loopbacks or secondary routing. This software-only approach removes latency and simplifies signal pipelines, letting you view exactly what’s being adjusted in real-time.

> “Previously, I had to route a separate SDI signal from Livegrade into OmniScope. Now I can monitor it in software with no extra gear and zero delay.”

## Connecting Livegrade to OmniScope

1. Open both **Livegrade** and **OmniScope** on the same machine.
2. In Livegrade, open the **Slot Manager** and switch to the **Output** tab. Add one or more output slots with the device set to **OmniScope**. Each slot appears as a separate output (e.g. Out A, Out B). The **Connection State** should show **Connected** when OmniScope is running.

3. In OmniScope, open the source picker. The Livegrade outputs are automatically detected and listed under the **GPU Share Source** section (e.g. "Livegrade: Out A", "Livegrade: Out B"). Select one to start monitoring.

## Workflow tips

### Monitoring the original (ungraded) image

Use Livegrade's **"Force Display Mode to"** feature on an OmniScope output to send the original camera image to OmniScope for analysis, while continuing to view graded images on your client monitors. This is useful when you need accurate exposure or color-balance readings from the unprocessed signal.

### Removing HUD overlays from analysis

If your camera feed includes burned-in metadata or HUD elements, apply a **crop filter** on the Livegrade output before it reaches OmniScope. This prevents on-screen overlays from affecting waveform, vectorscope, or histogram readings.

### Additional output streams

The standard integration provides **2 output streams** from Livegrade to OmniScope. If your workflow requires more streams, extended configurations are available — contact <feedback@pomfort.com> to discuss your use case.
