— Blend Bias: Lets you adjust how much of the regular exposure and how much of the underexposure are combined.
— Apply Metadata Curves: If the R3D media files were preprocessed in REDCINE X Pro, and saved with color curve metadata, you can use this setting to either use or discard that metadata.
— D.E.B. (Dragon Enhanced Blacks): A checkbox that enables the elimination of red noise in RED cameras using the Dragon sensor.
— Embedded Audio: Enables embedded audio in R3D media.
Decoder Settings
This second group of settings contains additional controls for finessing the debayering of RED raw image data. Which controls are exposed depends on which Color Science setting is selected
above. Many of the settings in this group are color correction adjustments, some of which resemble analogous controls in the Color page. However, the FLUT and DRX controls manage the exposure of the debayered media being fed to the DaVinci Resolve image processing pipeline, and so can be used to retrieve image detail from R3D source media in cases where the default settings are clipping or crushing detail in the highlights or shadows that would be unavailable to DaVinci Resolve as a result.
— De-noise: Applies image-wide noise reduction. There are seven settings available, from mild to maximum, that you can use to balance noise reduction against any possible image degradation.
— OLPF Compensation: (color science versions 1 and 2) OLPF compensation applies a low pass filter to reduce color moiré. There are four options: Off (the default), Low, Medium, and High.
— Image Detail: (color science versions 1 and 2) Controls the demosaicing algorithm that’s used for the software decoding of R3D media. You can choose a level of sensor detail extraction: Low, Medium, and High (recommended). If you’re using a RED ROCKET card, this setting is ignored as there is a fixed algorithm that’s used.
— FLUT: (color science versions 1 and 2) A gain operation that lets you boost or attenuate the ISO in smaller increments. 0 is unity. The range is –8 to +8.
— Contrast: Raising contrast reduces shadows and raises highlights, while leaving midtones at 50 percent unaffected. The image is compressed rather than clipped at the limits of 100 and 0 percent. 0 is unity. The range is –1 to +1.
— Saturation: (color science versions 1 and 2) Adjusts the color intensity of the image. 1 is unity. The range is 0 (minimum) through 5.0 (very high).
— DRX: (color science versions 1 and 2) A Dynamic Range control (X) that lets you recover highlights while taking into account Color Temperature (degrees Kelvin) and Tint. 0 is unity, and 1.0 is the maximum value.
— Shadow: (color science version 1 and 2) Provides control over the toe (low range) of the FLUT adjustment. 0 is unity. The range is –2 to +2.
— Brightness: Adjusts image lightness. Image data is compressed rather then clipped at 100 and 0 percent. 0 is unity. The range is –10 to +10.
— Flashing pixel adjust: A setting to apply noise reduction for removing or minimizing any flashing pixels recorded from the sensor. Levels are: None, Low, Medium, and High.
