Optional DCP and IMF Controls
If you choose DCP or IMF as the Format, additional options appear, described below.
Use interop packaging: (DCP only, located under Type parameter) Lets you create an
Interop DCP package, based on an earlier standard of DCP delivery that is not forward
compatible with SMPTE DCP packages.
Package Type: (IMF) Defaults to App2 Extended (App2e), for encoding JPEG 2000
up to 4K.
Bit Depth: (IMF) The bit depth of the encoded IMF video.
Encoding Profile: (IMF) A drop-down that lets you choose among Auto, IMF, and
Broadcast.
Encoding Level: (IMF) Provides different choices based on what is selected in
Encoding Profile.
Maximum bit rate: (DCP, IMF) Lets you choose how much to compress the result.
Lossless Compression: (IMF) Lets you choose to encode using lossless compression.
Slope-Rate Control: (DCP, IMF) A checkbox lets you specify lossless compression.
QStep: (DCP, IMF) Lets you choose either automatic or manually specified DCP
quantization levels at which to compress the video signal when using the Kakadu
JPEG 2000 encoder.
Advanced Controls
An advanced settings disclosure button hides the following additional controls, by default.
Pixel aspect ratio: Lets you override the Project Settings and change the PAR of the
rendered output to either Square or Cinemascope.
Data levels: Defaults to “Auto,” which simply renders all clips with the data level
appropriate to the currently selected codec in the “Render to” drop-down menu, which
is usually the preferred behavior. Choosing one of the other options (Video” or “Full)
outputs all clips using the selected data range. For more information, see Chapter 7,
“Data Levels, Color Management, and ACES.
Retain sub-black and super-white data: Turning this checkbox on lets you choose
to output media files that preserve overshoots and undershoots, data that’s above
the maximum and minimum data levels of the data level you’ve selected, assuming
this is supported by the video format and codec you’re exporting to. Otherwise,
DaVinci Resolve clips these “out-of-bounds” parts of the signal in an effort to
keepyour deliverables from violating whatever QC standards you’re adhering to in
your grade.
Color Space Tag: A drop-down menu that lets you choose a color space to embed as
metadata in the rendered file. This setting defaults to the Output Color Space if your
project’s color science is set to DaVinci YRGB Color Managed, or the ACES Output
Device Transform if your color science is set to ACEScc or ACEScct.
Data burn-in: A drop-down menu that defaults to “Same as Project,” which leaves the
current Data Burn In palette settings enabled while rendering, inserting a window burn
into the media being output. Choosing “None” disables window burns while rendering.
Note that when rendering as Individual Source Clips, individual clip burn in presets can
be assigned if they’ve been created in the Data Burn In palette.
