If you turn the “Use Separate Color Space and Gamma” checkbox on, then the Color
Management panel changes so that the Input, Timeline, and Output Color Space settings each
display two pop-ups. The first drop-down lets you explicitly set the gamut, while the second
drop-down lets you explicitly set the gamma. This makes it easier to see exactly which pair of
transforms is being used at each stage of RCM.

Additionally, Dual Setting RCM enables you to assign separate gamut and gamma transforms
toclips in the Media Pool.

203 Nit Support for SDR to HDR
Resolve Color Management has support for remapping SDR content to HDR by mapping 100
nits to 203 nits (defined as the diffuse white level) according to the BT.2100 recommendation.
This enables the peak highlights of SDR material to compete more favorably against the
significantly brighter highlights of HDR content in programs that combine both (such as
documentaries), so that SDR whites continue to appear white, rather than gray, when compared
to diffuse white in HDR.
The checkbox that enables this is hidden by default. Whenever you set the Output to an HDR
standard while the Timeline is set to an SDR standard, the “Use 203 nits reference for Rec.2100
HDR” checkbox for remapping SDR highlights to HDR appears in both the RCM settings of the
Color Management panel of the Project Settings and in the Color Space Transform
ResolveFX plug-in.
