Description
The HLG Normalized Transform for DaVinci Resolve Studio is the ONLY technical transform that can accurately normalize footage recorded using various Hybrid Log Gamma implementation formats, including HLG BT.2100, HLG BT.2408, Sony HLG1, HLG2 and HLG3!
The transform can be used in ACES workflows directly as an IDT! What’s more, additional DCTL files have been included for quick ACES access to the desired HLG implementation!
The HLG Normalized transform can also be used in conjunction with the DCTL OpenFX plugin for additional parameter modifications! The available settings are:
- Exposure Adjustment in exposure values from -8 to +8 stops
- Color Science mode to switch between ACES and YRGB
