CDL

NOTE: This menu is only available in IPP2 mode. For more information, go to Image Pipeline.

American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List (ASC CDL) controls are a standardized, camera-agnostic way to adjust the look of your images. Color corrections made with a device can therefore be applied or modified by other devices, even if such devices are from different manufacturers and use different standards.

Use the CDL menu to set up:

  • Slope
  • Power
  • Offset
  • Saturation

Manage CDLs

Use the CDLs menu to apply and import/export CDLs.

CDLs can be stored on the camera or transferred to SSD to be shared with other cameras. When exporting CDLs from camera to an SSD, the CDLs are saved to a folder on the SSD called “cdls”. When importing CDLs from an SSD to camera, the CDLs must be stored on the SSD in a folder called “cdls”.
