In reality, LUTs are used to properly view an image while being acquired in a particular color definition, like slog, or slog2. There’s no hard and fast rule that says you can’t apply a LUT to a grading process. No LUT will ever be the perfect conversion, but, can provide a starting point that puts you close enough to finish the process. To that end, applying a LUT that seems inconsistent with the capture definition is fine, if it works, or if it leads the colorist to the right answer. Typically, Juan is right. Applying a gamma curve correction is a good start, too.

No, I did not make this LUT. It was formulated, however, by the author to be the inverse of the published Sony Slog2 LUT.

It really doesn’t matter, as long as you apply it to the output stream. Try this:

Things got so bad with v3, that I went back to the last version. problem solved!

The answer to this problem is incredibly huge and there is no single simple answer. You’ve already gotten an answer to your question on the Avid forum. At the risk of repeating things, the first step you can take is to read this white paper…
https://www.jobterburg.nl/Publications/601_709_RGB.pdfI would then undertake a study of how color representation is presented in Rec601/709 specification.
Sorry to be so blunt, but, your question can only be answered by understanding how Avid handles color mapping.

I’ve experienced problems with Avid Control v3.0 being recognized by the system, in general, not just with Resolve. Powering the CC panel off then back on seems to fix the problem 99% of the time. Once the OS recognizes the Color Panel, Resolve 9.1.5 has no problems responding.

One way to put more structure in your Avid MediaFiles folder is to rename your Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 folder after you have populated it with project OPAtom files. You can rename it to any alpha/numeric name you wish, for example Avid MediaFiles/MXF/ProjectX. Just be aware that once you rename it, Media Composer can read the files in that folder, but, it can’t write to that folder. This is a good way to seperate Avid media files by project, as well as to lock the media file folder so no further changes can be made.

Gefen makes a very nice(and affordable) wireless, HDMI xmitter/receiver.

I would suggest that whatever you do, make it an even multiple of your native frame speed, like 10x, 15x, etc.

Thanx Talvo, but, some monitors have built in speakers…hence an output mode, and, I presume, a built in disembedder to extract the audio signal from the HDMI or SDI stream. My Panasonic pro monitor will output audio extracted from the SDI input…..and, I might add it has no conventional audio input jacks.
