[Avid-L2] OT: First Group IO search results

Even though Resolve just crashed at hour 7 for the second time on an IMF export I'm still in good spirits because look at the results a search for "OKI Dog" reveals on the new groups IO Avid L-2:

"1 - 20 of 299"  
Fish wipes aside I couldn't be prouder of the archiving of this important historical data.  ;-)

Great job, Jeff. But technically shouldn't this be called Avid-L3? LOL

Hey Jeff, thanks for doing the transfer.  SO helpful for all of us.  I missed the post where you indicated a preferred donation.  How much had you hoped to get from each user?

Re: [Avid-L2] DolbyVision Grading without CMU?

 

"Ping?"  Not sure I know what the Ping is for.  I have yet to get the Dolby Vision software CMU to function on my system but I haven't had a chance to try Dom's last suggestion of a 2084 timeline etc...  I'm crunching on getting IMFs out the door.  I hope to tinker more next week when the cloud lifts.

Hi everyone-   The robots are now busy packing up the place for the move across the road to Groups.IO


The new address over there on the web is going to be https://groups.io/g/Avid-L2.  The migration is in the Yahoo export phase right now,  and there may be a long Queue of folks leaving the island-  so may take a few days.


On the donations front, many have indicated they'd like to help,  as Groups IO will have a recurring cost for a group with our dynamics.   If you'd like to pitch in,   I can accept Zelle, which works with most banks.-  you send to my email JeffSengpiehl@yahoo.com -  and I'll gratefully recieve it.


If you want to look around early,  you can come by and sign up for Groups.io.   The walls aren't even painted purple yet.    


When the migration is completed,  the Robots will send an update email to the Yahoo group/list here.

Re: [Avid-L2] DolbyVision Grading without CMU?

 

Thanks I will experiment when I get a chance.  The DNxIO is HDMI 2.0 as far as I know given it is basically the BM UltraStudio.

I guess one of my core confusions is what generates the metadata down the HDMI that will trigger the LG monitor to sense Dolby Vision.  Is setting the  project to Rec 2020/ST2084 etc... what tells Resolve to send the signal down HDMI, once that is enabled, to let the monitor know what it's getting.  I had been thinking it was the enabling of Dolby Vision and then enabling Dolby Vision Metadata on HDMI that would then trigger the monitor to sense Dolby Vision regardless of what levels were coming off the timeline.

I guess I will appreciate it HDR even more once I get it working.

Ok there is a lot here. 

1. HDR project in Resolve is very tricky. There are a lot of settings you need to do properly in order to get the correct color and gamma output. 
I suggest creating a project that is Rec 2020 / ST2084 gamma for input, timeline and output setting in Color Management. 

Maximum timeline Luminance timeline value at 10k ( don't ask why for now ). 

HDR mastering to 1000 nits. 

2. When bringing in material to your HDR project, make sure Resolve is interpreting the color and gamma correctly. Right click the source and manually change if needed in media page.  In your case your, the IMF should be set to 709 and likely 2.4 gamma. 

3. Don't use any LUTs in this case as it complicates things. Do this after you are generating the proper HDR signal to your TV. 

4. Under Video Monitoring / Video format / disable Dual SDI. 
This will prevent the second SDI output from generating a trim level signal. It will be the same as SDI 1, your mastering settings. 

5. Dolby should be active in Color Management. I assume your hardware can do HDMI 2.0. 

Enable HDR metadata over HDMI. 

6. Enable HDR scopes in Preference / User. 


If you have everything right, your peaks should be hitting around 100 nits. If not, can your force DV HDR mode manually with your TV?

Re: [Avid-L2] DolbyVision Grading without CMU?

 

In Resolve 15.x color page, you can disable it in the Dolby trim interface tab (target monitor) or disable dual output mode (not the same thing as dual SDI mode) in your project settings.

I asked about monitoring DolbyVision without a CMU before but I think it might have been on the Editing List.  Here's what the Resolve manual says:

  1. Dolby VisionTM

    DaVinci Resolve 15 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.

    Dolby Vision settings in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings

    There are five controls available:

    • ‚  Enable Dolby Vision: Turns Dolby Vision on and off. When on, this checkbox enables the Dolby Vision palette in the Color page.

    • ‚  Dolby Vision version pop-up: Lets you choose which version of the Dolby Vision algorithms to use. Options at the time of this writing include 2.9 and 4.0.

    • ‚  Master Display pop-up: Lets you choose the nit level and gamut of the master HDR display you're grading on.

    • ‚  Use External CMU: A checkbox lets you choose whether to use the built-in software CMU or a hardware CMU that you have connected to your DaVinci Resolve workstation.

So what does this mean with my Resolve 15.4 and my Avid DNxIO feeding HDMI to my LG 2016 OLED.  It seems when the monitor is fed Dolby Vision the Dolby Vision Icon should pop up indicating the monitor is now working in Dolby Vision.  I've never tried this before so I've never seen the LOGO on my LG.  I did see it pop up at a seminar on a display that was demonstrating Tunneling from IIRC a Cortex box using a CMU.

What is the difference between Tunneling and this supposed built in GPU accelerated software version in Resolve.  I can put an output LUT to map to 2084 etc... and I see the levels on the scope drop from my 709 timeline like I would expect them to but I don't see my LG pop into Dolby Vision Mode.

I also found this which may be at the core of the issue.  Perhaps my Avid branded doesn't work the same as a BM UltraStudio?

  • ‚  HDR Mastering is for: (Only available in Studio version) If you have a DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G or an UltraStudio 4K Extreme video interface, then DaVinci Resolve 12.5 and above can output the metadata necessary to correctly display HDR video signals to display devices using HDMI 2.0a when you turn on the "Enable HDR metadata over HDMI" checkbox in the Master Project Settings.

    The Enable HDR metadata over HDMI option in the Master Project Settings lets you output HDR via HDMI 2.0a

    When you do so, a setting in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings, "HDR mastering is for X" lets you specify the output, in nits, to be inserted as metadata into the HDMI stream being output, so that the display you're connecting to correctly interprets it. The output you specify should match what your display is expecting.

Anybody played around with this?

So what does this mean with my Resolve 15.4 and my Avid DNxIO feeding HDMI to my LG 2016 OLED.  It seems when the monitor is fed Dolby Vision the Dolby Vision Icon should pop up indicating the monitor is now working in Dolby Vision.  I've never tried this before so I've never seen the LOGO on my LG.  I did see it pop up at a seminar on a display that was demonstrating Tunneling from IIRC a Cortex box using a CMU.

What is the difference between Tunneling and this supposed built in GPU accelerated software version in Resolve.  I can put an output LUT to map to 2084 etc... and I see the levels on the scope drop from my 709 timeline like I would expect them to but I don't see my LG pop into Dolby Vision Mode.

I also found this which may be at the core of the issue.  Perhaps my Avid branded doesn't work the same as a BM UltraStudio?

  • ‚  HDR Mastering is for: (Only available in Studio version) If you have a DeckLink 4K Extreme 12G or an UltraStudio 4K Extreme video interface, then DaVinci Resolve 12.5 and above can output the metadata necessary to correctly display HDR video signals to display devices using HDMI 2.0a when you turn on the "Enable HDR metadata over HDMI" checkbox in the Master Project Settings.

    The Enable HDR metadata over HDMI option in the Master Project Settings lets you output HDR via HDMI 2.0a

    When you do so, a setting in the Color Management panel of the Project Settings, "HDR mastering is for X" lets you specify the output, in nits, to be inserted as metadata into the HDMI stream being output, so that the display you're connecting to correctly interprets it. The output you specify should match what your display is expecting.

Anybody played around with this?
