Controls Tab
The Controls tab is where all the conversion operations take place. It has a section for incoming
images and a section for the node’s output. Which section you use depends on whether you
are stripping an image of a gamma curve to make it linear or converting a linear image to a
specific color space and gamma curve for output.
Source Space
Source Space determines the input color space of the image. When placed directly after a
Loader node in Fusion or a MediaIn node in DaVinci Resolve, you would select the applicable
color space based on how the image was created and check the Remove Gamma checkbox.
The output of the node would be a linearized image. You leave this setting at No Change when
you are adding gamma using the Output Space control and placing the node directly before the
Saver node in Fusion or a MediaOut node in DaVinci Resolve.
DCI-P3
The DCI-P3 color space is most commonly used in association with DLP projectors. It is
frequently provided as a color space available with DLP projectors and as an emulation mode
for 10-bit LCD monitors such as the HP Dreamcolor and Apple’s Pro Display XDR. This color
space is defined in the SMPTE-431-2 standard.
Custom
The Custom gamut allows you to describe the color space according to CIE 1931 primaries and
white point, which are expressed as XY coordinates, as well as by gamma, limit, and slope. For
example, the DCI-P3 gamut mentioned above would have the following values if described as a
Custom color space.
