This article describes how to re-enable the newly introduced Cinema Targets in Davinci Resolve Studio v18.1 if you have loaded the Dolby Vision configuration file version 1.3 (cm_config_v1.3.bin).


With the latest version of DaVinci Resolve Studio v18.1, new Cinema targets and trims are now available to map from an HDR grade to DCI and Dolby Cinema targets. The trim controls for these new Cinema as well as the existing Home targets are unlocked by the Dolby Vision trims license.

Until the end of November 2022, Dolby Vision license packages contained a Dolby Vision licence file and the Dolby Vision configuration file version 1.3 (cm_config_v1.3.bin). This is fine for Resolve Studio versions before v18.1.
If you use this configuration file (v1.3) in DaVinci Resolve Studio v18.1 and later versions, the new Cinema Targets disappear. 
If you have loaded the configuration file in DaVinci Resolve Studio v18.1, please delete the following file and restart Resolve:

~/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/DolbyVision/config_v2.bin

 

Going forward, new license packages from Dolby no longer contain a Dolby Vision configuration file, as all configurations are now delivered via DaVinci Resolve Studio.

What is cm_config?

Cm_config passes the Dolby defined master and target display information on to our partner softwares. Typically our partner softwares come bundled with the version of cm_config appropriate to their functionality. Loading newer versions of cm_config into unsupported application versions can lead to unexpected behaviors, especially with cinema targets and trims, and users should not install new versions of cm_config or move a cm_config file from one application to another without being directed to do so from Dolby Support.
