This panel contains groups of parameters that correspond to every camera raw media format that’s supported by DaVinci Resolve. Using these parameters in the Camera Raw panel, you can override the original camera metadata that was written at the time of recording, and make simultaneous adjustments to all camera raw clips using the “project” raw settings.
To provide more detail, these settings are covered in detail in a dedicated chapter. For more information, see Chapter 128, “Camera Raw Palette.”
Capture and Playback
All settings in this panel let you define the functionality of capture and playout to tape using device controlled VTRs connected to your Resolve workstation via the connected video capture and output interface. For more information on deck capture, see Chapter 24, “Ingesting From Tape.” For more information on video output to tape, see Chapter 189, “Delivering to Tape.”
Deck Settings
These settings affect both capture and playback when using the tape ingest options of the Media page, or the tape output options of the Deliver page.
— Video capture and playback: You can choose the video format (frame size and frame rate) with which to output to tape from this drop-down menu. HD timelines can be downconverted to SD, and SD timelines can be upconverted to HD using the format conversion of your DeckLink card.
— Use left and right eye SDI: A checkbox that enables supported video interfaces to ingest and output muxed stereoscopic video when used with supported VTRs, such as HDCAM SR decks with 4:2:2 x 2 mode. (When muxed stereoscopic signals are ingested, each eye is separated into individual left-eye and right-eye image files.) This parameter only appears when your hardware is set up appropriately.
— Video connection operates as: Selects between the available signal options: Use 4:4:4 SDI and Enable Single Link. Which options are available depend on which video capture card you are using.
— Data Levels: Lets you specify the data range (normally Video or Full) that’s used when ingesting from or outputting to tape. This option switches the data range of the signal output by your video capture card, but only during capture from tape in the Media page, or output to tape in the Deliver page. When capture or output is not currently occurring, your video capture card goes back to using the identically named data range setting in the Master Project Settings pane, which governs how you monitor the signal being output on an external broadcast display or projector.
— Video bit depth: Choose the bit depth that corresponds to the capability of your deck. Depending on your workstation’s configuration, you can choose between 8-bit and 10-bit. Outputting to 10-bit is more processor intensive, but higher quality for compatible devices, and is the default setting.
