Da Vinci Color settings for MAVIC 3 HGL video

[Gianluke]

Hello. I just bought HDR Bt2020 monitor Asus Pro Art. I usually set HLG 4K 30p in my Mavic 3 videos. I tried two HDR calibration: 1) HDR BT2020 D65 HLG 1000 cd/m2; 2) HDR BT2020 D65 PQ 1000 cd/m2. I'm in doubt which are best settings in Da Vinci with HDR monitor calibration and Mavic 3 HLG files. I watch them on LG OLED HDR television and on Asus Pro Art monitor.

If I choose HDR BT2020 D65 HLG 1000 cd/m2 (monitor calibration settings) in Da Vinci I set as below for best color matching (HDR HLG output):



If I choose HDR BT2020 D65 PQ 1000 cd/m2 (monitor calibration settings) in Da Vinci I set as below for best color matching (HDR output but not HLG):



There would be a third possibility for HDR HLG output (same output but PQ color processing mode):


Any experience about? HLG output file seems better to play for TV and PC player but a little bit less saturated than PQ (ST2024) output

Is yr DaVinci Resolve the Studio version? I’ll be interested in your findings but strongly recommend going to the Blackmagic, Davinci forum and ask the same question. I’ve used Davinci Studio for about three yrs now because it was free with the BMPCC4K & know that its important to get these settings correct initially otherwise u spend a lot of time correcting in the color tab compensating for an less than optimum setting.
