I found a way to do this without the decklink card! 1. Do NOT use the HDR option in the windows settings. 2. Setup your LG TV as a clean feed monitor in resolve's settings. 3. Access LG's secret menu 1113111 and set color space to either rec2020 or p3-d65 and gamma to st2084. The rest of the settings seem to do nothingm Now you can output from your node tree to ST2084, and you will get accurate PQ tracking up to the TV's peak luminance! Anything above will be hard clipped. That's the only drawback, as you have to manage the tone mapping before hand, and cannot sentld the 2086 static metadata.

Congrats for this video, the info given made me finally understand some things about the HDR workflow. Keep it up!
@FilmResolved
Great work and thank you for properly researching the DaVinci Resolve aspects of this jigsaw puzzle. I will never call anyone out but I recently got served a video claiming to be a walk through of monitoring HDR in DR with an atomos ninja flame. I watched as I made a video about HDR workflow in DR and wanted to see if anything had changed in the nearly 3 years since I researched and published my video. The video I was served never mentioned “enable HDR metadata over HDMI” nor the need for the BMD output card. Therefore what I believe that video guides you to actually monitor is the Atomos conversion of a wonky HDR signal and not a true monitoring of the signal. It’s quite disappointing to see content like this so seeing your content makes me very happy and I appreciate the hard work you’ve put into this!

I HDR grade using Sony A95K like this. First I'd recommend not using the highlight roloff at all when calibrating it, but using tonemap off / HGIG mode instead to cause highlights to hard clip beyond 701 nits. This is how holywood grade reference monitors work, and is the officially recommended way of grading HDR. This way I'm able to see the actual brightness and contrast of my scene, rather than seeing slightly reduced exposure. And when I do need to see those highlights that my display just can't show, I can quickly preview them in couple of different ways in Resolve, usually by temporarily lowering exposure. I keep this in a single node that I keep disabled most of the time, and enable it when I need to be able to see extreme highlights. After a few months of using it like that, I started noticing the APL brightness limiter was messing with my work, causing me to accidentally over brighten high APL scenes as I wouldn't always notice that I was seeing the dynamically dimmed down version. I recently figured out a way around this is to keep my clips zoomed out to around 50%. This means TV can now show "full field" of 500 nits, instead of mere 200, since full field is now 25% of the area instead of 100% of the area. This makes an OLED TVs into much more capable HDR grading monitors. I of course disable the zoom when I need to adjust sharpness or see higher level of detail for any reason. And to avoid contributing to burn in using this method, I apply Camera Shake FX to my clip and configure it to gently randomly move the zoomed out video around the whole frame.

Hand gesturing is a strong with this one. Great video bro. I learned a lot.
@vasiovasio
Man, you are So Hyped! Great video! Keep going!
@aravindrt
I m glad that i found this channel
@ShawnThuris
Great video as always. I work from a budget HDR monitor (with SpyderX calibration) but I could see adding a tv as a second display. The DeckLink does remind me of an old AGP Rage 128 graphics card.
@ericchase1294
Thanks!
@bymarcelolewin
Excellent video and explanation as always.
@sean9920
Man these videos are awesome. You know way more than I do and I thought I was a videophile lmao.
@MichaelKefeder
Amazing video explaining all the details needed, thanks! Side note, for people with laptops or unavailable PCIe ports: you can look at Blackmagic UltraStudio series, they connect over thunderbolt 3 (for the 4K versions) or USB-C for FullHD. Normally a UltraStudio Monitor 3G is enough for monitoring HDR with Davinci Resolve.

@14:31 Beware!! the decklink mini monitor 4k you are holding there only supports 4k30. If you want 4k60 youll have to buy the decklink 4k extreme which is about 4x the price.
@VeeTravels
Wow I really like how you delved into the details in this video. I think the most cost effective option is to use a Video Monitor LUT within DaVinci Resolve (I am finding this around 85% accurate). That is how I managed to edit all of the recent HDR videos on my channel.
@DropLightTech
Great video! :)
@osx86touch
Holy shit your content is great! I’d love to hear more about how you handle the distribution side of things (uploading to YouTube). I’ve heard it’s not as simple as it sounds to get footage to look good on HDR displays but also fallback to an accurate SDR grade. Worth a video maybe if it’s involved? I hope your channel catches on because wow!
@cosmepelotillo
Thank you this is very useful!
@andrewwyatt8016
Great stuff! Keep it up!
@atlanteum
Just discovered your channel today, and it is a godsend. Like having a personal technical director on hand. Please say you do consulting, as well..???
