devices or applications may take advantage of this information to improve workflow. For example, selecting
Logarithmic can allow a film recorder to adjust its parameters to print film-originated DPX files with the
correct densities.

Images that you want to identify as one of these types. Although the SMPTE 274M standard
defines these DPX Transfer Characteristics, it does not provide usage specifications for them.
As a result, these Transfer Characteristics are not generally used in the industry.

Images where the format is not specified.Unspecified
Negative film scanners recording status M densities.Logarithmic
Video images which have built-in gamma correction. This refers to images having a true linear
quantization scheme (such as CG-originated material).
Linear
Negative film scans which use the SMPTE Printing Density settings. SMPTE Printing Densities
use status M density measurements with a higher gain in the red component.
Printing Density
Images at 10- and 16-bit film density encoding, in which colour information is encoded using
a logarithmic scale. Usually used in the context of an Image Interchange Format workflow.
Academy Density Exchange
(ADX)
DPX Colorimetric Specification box Select an option to identify the colorimetric specifications used to
encode the DPX files. Available when Video Format is set to DPX.
Setting a Colorimetric Specification in no way changes the image information stored in the DPX file. The
Colorimetric Specification simply indicates the attributes of the DPX file read by another device or application.
Some devices or applications may take advantage of this information to improve workflow. For example,
selecting Academy Density Exchange (ADX) can allow a film recorder to adjust its parameters to print
film-originated DPX files with the correct densities.
JPEG Quality field Specifies the degree of quality versus compression. A value of 0 gives the lowest quality
(and highest compression), while a value of 100 gives the best quality (but applies no compression). Available
when File Format is set to JPEG.
LUT Activation button Enable to apply the LUT displayed in Applied LUT to the clip .
LUT Type box Select the type of LUT to apply to the clip.
Applied LUT field Displays the type of conversion LUT applied to the clip, either imported using Import,
or edited using Edit.
Import button Use to browse and select a LUT.
LUT Editor Access button Click to open the LUT editor.
Filename field Displays the result of the pattern displayed in the Filename Pattern field. Non-editable.
Filename Pattern field Displays how to name the exported media files. Build a dynamic naming scheme
using Add Token and characters normally allowed in a file name. Create folder structure using / . The file
extension is automatically appended. Add '#' to numerical tokens to define padding. Frame identifiers are
automatically added to image sequence files. Editable.
Add Token box Inserts a token in the Pattern field to build a dynamic filename.
