Three additional parameters are available for IPP2 workflows, but they only function when DaVinci Resolve is set to use DaVinci YRGB Color Managed color science and the Timeline to Output Gamut Mapping in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings is set to RED IPP2 Gamut Mapping. These controls (which are also mirrored in the Color Management panel when enabled) are designed to let you tone map wide gamut media that’s being graded to a smaller gamut, such as Rec. 709.
The RED IPP2 Gamut Mapping controls that appear in the Color Management tab of the Project Settings
— Output Tone Map: (color science IPP2) Provides an easy setting for setting the resulting contract when tone mapping wide dynamic range images to standard dynamic range (SDR) output. Settings are: None, Low, Medium, and High. Low results in less contrast; High results in more contrast.
— Highlight Roll Off: (color science IPP2) Five settings let you adjust how much to roll off the highlights to fit within the current gamut. These are: None, Hard, Medium, Soft, and Very Soft. Hard provides a minimum of roll-off; Very Soft provides a maximum of roll-off. This setting interacts with the HDR Peak Nits slider below.
— HDR Peak Nits: (color science IPP2) Adjusts the amount of highlight compression that’s done by Highlight Roll Off.
Use Camera Metadata
The most elemental camera metadata settings for exposure and color that are available.
— ISO: A gain operation that keeps the black point at 0 while raising or lowering the white point of the image, linearly scaling everything in between. Raising the ISO results only in boosted highlights being more compressed; no clipping will occur. 320 is unity. The range is 50–6400.
— Exposure Adjust: Increases or lowers image lightness in units relative to ƒ-stops. Using exposure to boost the image beyond 100 or to lower it below 0 will clip, not compress, the image data that’s passed along to the DaVinci Resolve image processing pipeline. 0 is unity. The range is –7 to +7.
— Color Temp: Designed to alter the “warmth” of the image while keeping white elements of the scene looking neutral. Adjustable in degrees Kelvin. Lower values correct for “warmer” lighting, while higher values correct for “cool” lighting. This parameter is designed specifically to adjust RED linear light image data to make the most photometrically accurate correction. 5600 is unity. The range is 1700 to 10,000.
— Tint: Color balance correction for images with a green or magenta color cast, such as fluorescent or sodium vapor bulbs. This parameter is designed specifically to adjust RED linear light image data to make the most photometrically accurate correction. 0 is unity. The range is –100 to +100.
