Some studios require Dolby Vision deliverables in Rec.2020. This video shows how to export and deliver Dolby Vision with Rec.2020 color encoding primaries using Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio.

As current display technology used for reference monitors is not able to display the full Rec2020 gamut accurately, we recommend to create Dolby Vision content in P3, D65. 

When Rec2020 deliverables are requested we then recommend to convert your P3 renders to Rec2020 and update the Dolby Vision metadata accordingly.

  – or –

If one prefers to work in Rec2020, the color pipeline must be set to output as Rec2020 with a limited color gamut to P3. Additionally, the HDR display must be set and calibrated for Rec2020.

 

Regardless of the color pipeline chosen, the color encoding settings of the Dolby Vision XML must match the color encoding of the final PQ render.

 

Settings Overview:

 

Recommended P3 to Rec2020 workflow

• Finish your project in P3, D65

• Convert the image essence from P3 to Rec.2020

• Change the color encoding in the Dolby Vision XML from P3 primaries to Rec2020

• Do NOT change the settings for the Mastering Monitor used 

 

Note:

Some systems natively support exporting a Dolby Vision XML with either P3 or Rec.2020 encoding primaries!

 

Mastering Monitor Setting

The settings of the mastering monitor (the mastering display color primaries) determine the strength of the interpolation algorithm that is used to interpolate color-based trims. Changing the mastering display after rendering will cause the interpolation algorithm to change vs. what is intended. Also, by changing the mastering display post-deliverable, it causes a color shift in the image, which can be mostly seen in saturated colors.
