Minimum and Maximum Levels for RED QuickTime Media
In Color, RED QuickTime media is processed in its native RGB color space. This does
not allow for processing values above absolute white (100 percent) or below absolute
black (0 percent). As a result, all grades applied to RED media will clip beyond these
outer boundaries, regardless of whether Broadcast Safe in Color is turned on or off.
If Broadcast Safe is turned on, expanding the broadcast safe range by raising Ceiling
IRE above 100 or lowering Floor IRE below 0 will have no effect on the image.
However, restricting the broadcast safe range by lowering the Ceiling IRE below 100 or
raising the Floor IRE above 0 will clip image values to the narrower limits.
The default Printing Density for RED media is “Linear (0 Black - 1023 White).” This
means that when#rendering RED QuickTime media as DPX files for film printing, the
minimum and maximum values of 0 and 100 percent in Color correspond to the digital
values of#0 and 1023 in the rendered DPX files. The Printing Density setting for each
shot is located in the Settings 2 tab to the right of the Timeline.
