HDR Setup and Grading

High Dynamic Range (HDR) grading for cinema, television, and streaming is the latest evolution of the consumer media experience.

However, new developments and an expanding array of affordable HDR-capable consumer devices are poised to make HDR mastering of visual content increasingly ubiquitous.

This chapter describes what HDR is for the uninitiated and covers the operational details that will let you set up DaVinci Resolve to do HDR grading.
