User Manual

–
Rec.2020: Decodes into the standard color space specified by the Rec. 2020
standard for high definition video, UHD video, and beyond. While you may find this
option useful as a starting point, it is not required for programs being output to video.
–
DCI-P3 D65: Decodes RGB-encoded image data with a D65 white point, intended
for monitoring with a P3-compatible display.
–
DCI-P3 Theater: A setting designed for adaptive viewing of DCI-P3 in a theater with
a projector using a D60 white point.
–
CIE 1931 XYZ D65: A specialty setting for outputting to an XYZ color space with a
D65 adaptive white point.
–
CIE 1931 XYZ D50 (PCS): A specialty setting for outputting to an XYZ color space
with a D50 adaptive white point, as used by the profile connection space of the DNG
image format.
 Gamma: There are several options available for choosing a gamma profile to be used
when debayering .braw media. Which one is best really depends on how you like to
work, as all will yield high-quality image data without clipping the signal internally within
DaVinci Resolve’s image processing pipeline. Even though some of these options
will produce a range of image data that will clip on output, all of that image data is
preserved “under the hood” and can be used and retrieved in your grade.
–
Blackmagic Design Film: A log-encoded “film workflow” oriented option that’s
specifically designed for version 4 of the Blackmagic Design color science. This
option is designed to fit the maximum amount of information from wide latitude BMD
cameras into the data range of 0–1023. Using this setting provides all the dynamic
range from the source media into a signal that can be transcoded to other formats
with no compromise. However, this is not a viewable image and requires grading to
normalize it into an image that can be delivered to audiences.
–
Blackmagic Design Video: The standardized gamma curve for standard-dynamic-
range HD and UHD display. For wide-latitude images, highlights will be clipped, but
all image data will be preserved internally for retrieval via grading as necessary.
–
Blackmagic Design Extended Video: An SDR-compatible gamma curve similar to
the above but with compressed highlights that preserve more highlight detail in
the visible range of the image. Intended to be a fast starting point for grading SDR
images. Fewer highlights are clipped, but nonetheless all image data is preserved
internally for retrieval via grading as necessary.
–
Blackmagic Design Custom: For specialty workflows.
–
Linear: A scene linear setting, suitable for visual effects and specialty workflows.
–
Rec.2100 Hybrid Log Gamma: The standardized gamma curve for the HLG standard
of high-dynamic-range (HDR) video jointly developed by the BBC and NHK.
–
Rec.2100 ST2084 (PQ): The standardized gamma curve for high-dynamic-range
(HDR) video as encoded by Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Also referred to as the
PQcurve.
 Highlight Recovery: A checkbox that lets you include additional highlight sensor
data that’s usually clipped by the standard decoding matrix. In cases where you have
extremely clipped peak highlights, you may obtain additional image detail this way,
although it may contain unusual color artifacts.
 Saturation: Adjusts the color intensity of the image. 1 is unity. The range is 0
(desaturated) through +4 (extremely high).
