— Use Separate Color Space and Gamma: If this checkbox is turned off (the default), the Color Management panel of the Project Settings exposes one drop-down each for the Input, Timeline, and Output Color Space settings, and each setting simultaneously transforms the gamut and gamma, depending on which option you choose. If you turn this 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.
To provide more detailed information, the simple and advanced global controls available for Resolve Color Management (RCM) are covered in a dedicated chapter.

Dolby Vision™
DaVinci Resolve includes a GPU-accelerated software version of the Dolby Vision CMU (Content Mapping Unit) for doing Dolby Vision grading and finishing workflows right in either the free version of DaVinci Resolve or in DaVinci Resolve Studio. This is enabled and set up in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings with the Enable Dolby Vision checkbox.

— Master Display drop-down: Lets you choose the nit level and gamut of the master HDR display you’re grading on.
