Display Preset

Use Display Preset to select the gamma of the displayed preview image for the SDI port:

When shooting in R3D format, the camera stores this as metadata, which you can adjust non-destructively in post-production after filming.

The Display Preset allows you to select the gamma for the camera preview and monitor output.

Each monitor is designed to display using a specific gamma. Most monitors use SDR. However, some support HDR and HLG gamma signals. Select the display preset that works best with your monitor.

The selections are:

  • SDR - Standard Dynamic Range (default)
  • HDR - High Dynamic Range
  • HLG - Hybrid Log-Gamma

Standard-dynamic-range (SDR) video describes images or video using a conventional gamma curve signal.

High-dynamic-range (HDR) video images are recorded using the SMPTE-2084 PQ curve. This technology captures and outputs a greater range of luminance than images recorded using standard-dynamic-range (SDR) methods.

Hybrid log-gamma (HLG) delivers HDR resolution without the need for metadata. This allows HLG to display well on SDR and HDR monitors.
