The HDR10+ palette in the Color page; the analysis metadata is
shown in the Anchor Point number fields for each slider
The Enable Tone Mapping Preview checkbox lets you turn the tone mapping trim being applied
off and on, so you can evaluate how the downconverted SDR version looks on your HDR
display. This control is disabled when you enable “Use dual-outputs on SDI” in the Master
Settings of the Project Settings, since the second output SDI now automatically displays the
target display output.
Using the HDR10+ palette, you can work your way through each shot of your program, analyzing
it to generate metadata and then manually trimming this metadata as necessary to create the
best possible downconverted result.
Delivering HDR10+
Once you’re finished grading the HDR and trimming the SDR downconversion, you need to
output your program correctly in the Deliver page.
Rendering an HDR10+ Master
To deliver an HDR10+ master after you’ve finished grading, you wantmake sure that the
OutputColor Space of the Color Management panel of the Project Settings is set to the
appropriate HDR ST.2084 setting based on the peak output you want to deliver (any values
above will be clipped). Then, you want to set your render up to use the highest quality Format/
Codec combination that can be delivered to whomever is doing the final mastering.
The HDR10+ analysis and manual trim metadata you generated while trimming is saved per clip,
in a series of JSON sidecar files, which should then be exported by right-clicking that timeline in
the Media Pool, and choosing Timelines > Export > HDR10+JSON.
These two sets of files are then delivered to afacility that’s capable of creating an HDR10+
Mezzanine File (this cannot be done in DaVinci Resolve).
NOTE: The HDR10+ mastering workflow is still a work in progress. More information
will be provided as it becomes available.
