[Avid-L2] Re: Sony Slog HDR in an Avid 2018.X world?

 

Hi John

https://assets.pro.sony.eu/Web/ngp/pdf/hdr-explained.pdf

Just put my toe in the Sony 'SR LIVE' workflow - turning round HD-HDR HFR on a live show (fortunately stereo but Atmos coming...). Basically the OB cameras are Slog3 once they hit baseband - through evs, switcher etc - so the edits have to be Slog3 in & out. SDR derived from the Slog3 down the line...

Vital here for any codec to be 10bit & decent datarate. EVS are set to XAVC (everyone seems to be moving there for UHD / HDR / HFR) but there's not much support for renders/mixdowns in Avid or PP, so tending to use suitable 10bit DNx flavour as intermediate. Playback can be lumpy at these datarates too.

We monitored HDR with Sony BVM x300 - but it's certainly tricky grading Slog3 HDR without a confidence SDR output. Plus the BVM is a $$$ monitor.

I don't think you can add a monitoring LUT to Avid so I think you be better with a monitor that can have a LUT loaded, or an external LUT box inline. Plus saves resources.

Interested, as ever, to see how you get on...
