Legalize Material

[Darin Wooldridge]

No extra hardware needed to legalize at 60_940. The resolve can do it.

Thanks for the clarification.

I can see that you setup the broadcast clips with a LUT, and that I would turn on the option to apply LUT to waveform display but what is the correct way to go about setting up a proper broadcast clip?

In the video monitoring section in the config page, you can choose whether to monitor in full range or video range. Same setting is available for Deck I/O.

This setting only gets applied to digital outputs (HDMI and SDI). Component always displays full range.

In the video monitoring setup I have “Normally Scaled Video” selected.
Wouldn’t I then expect to see my black levels clip at 64 and my white levels clip at 940?
On the internal DaVinci WFM even with that option selected my black level goes to 0 and white to 1023.

The Resolve scopes show the full range signal. The scaling to video levels is done on the Decklink output when you are monitoring, or laying off to a tape.

The only way to see video levels on the Resolve scopes would be to use a 1-D Display LUT which would do full range to video level scaling. If you are using such a LUT, please make sure you set Decklink monitoring to full range.

Of course, if you are using Ultrascope for external video monitoring, you would see video levels since it will look at the Decklink output.

This is not detailed in the manual yet. But on the WFM display, if you click the button below the Grid Intensity slider (the button has an icon that looks like a crossed hammer and wrench) you will get a pop up widget that will allow you to select the bit depth of the WFM (8, 10 or 12) and you can set the high and low clip points.

However, as Rohit mentioned at the same time I was posting, the LUT would be better. Because while you can set the upper and lower clip points on the WFM display, the video monitoring setting of full range data or legal video, is actually scaling the video, not just clipping it at video levels, as the WFM clips would.

i’ve been reading this thread and it sounds like if i have “normally scaled legal video” checked, my renders should be clipped or scaled to 64-960. however, my renders are going out at full range. if i make a lut that clips at 64-960, my waveform and my render reflects this but it’s clipped, not scaled.

what i would like is for my clips to be scaled to 64-960 and then my output clipped at 64-960. what’s the best way to do this?

[Gabriele Turchi]

why you want your render to be scaled ?

what software are going to ? (you need to know how this software is going to behave with your scaled level footage …

ps: in this case you need a lut that scale (not clip) the image (in the way that your SDI is doing)
