Extended Highlights - BETA

The Extended highlights toggle enables or disables the Extended Highlights Beta Feature.

Extended Highlights is a beta feature of RED Global Vision that allows for capturing additional highlight detail which is especially useful in uncontrollable environments. When enabled, all monitors and proxy recordings will capture a preview of the new extended dynamic range so that the workflow participants can make exposure decisions based on the processed image.

All Raw or Log exposure tools will reflect the new range when extended highlights are enabled, including the RGB Meters, Exposure False Color, and Gio Scopes.

Extended Highlights is only recommended for scenes where one of the above exposure tools indicates clipping, and where the scene is beyond the base 17+ stops of dynamic range of the camera.

When the operator enables the Extended Highlights feature, it increases the recorded data rate, while decreasing the maximum frame rate of the camera to half its normal operating mode, and all of the monitoring pipelines are limited to HD or 2K formats.
