Extended range monitoring setting
A new update for Premiere Pro dropped yesterday (14.0.1, Build 71). This adds a toggle for extended dynamic range monitoring in Preferences -> General. I cannot find any info from Adobe about what this actually does and whether or not or when to use it. Any info out there? It seems to work best when it is turned on, even for SDR projects. Thoughts?

i haven’t seen any adobe forum posts about this. although I’m guessing its talking about 16-235 which would make your image look naturally more contrasted as a result. Premiere, by default, is 0-255, so I don’t know why they would do this. There are some codecs that are actually 16-235, like Prores, but I don’t know if this is a viewer setting only, or burns the render contrast in. It would make more sense to have this feature in interpret footage per clip instead of per timeline… I would ask adobe directly about this.
ps. I’m hoping adobe enables HDR viewing in their source monitor and this is a first step.

any further thoughts on this? have you done any render tests?

Not really any new thoughts. I have 9 systems set to have this toggle on and renders and playback are fine. This is all with SDR material. I have yet to see or hear anything out of Adobe as to what this control is actually doing. The issue for me seems to be localized to ARRI Alexa Mini files with the embedded Amira LUT.

dumping from adobe forum engineer’s post.
DCM+EDR mode shows content up to peak display such as iMac Pro.
(This is for iMac Pro, not Apple XDR monitor.)
It’s useful for EDR, but not for full-range HDR, which is > 500 nits.
It won’t replace an HDR reference monitor, but it’s a step up from having only an SDR monitor for HDR content.
