Hi,
I would like to check for LED Wall production using Aximmetry, what would be the workflow for setting up 12bit or HDR output?
For the color bits depth do I just set it in the Nvidia Control Panel, or I would also need to setup in Aximmetry as well?
For HDR workflow, I'm not sure how to go about it.
Hi Eifert,
Color Depth
When using HDMI or DisplayPort connection I'll set up the color depth (10bits/12bits) in the NVIDIA Control Panel - NVIDIA color setting.
Do I have to setup any specific setting in Aximmetry DE?
HDR
Please briefly explain what are the specific setting in Aximmetry DE I would need to setup for HDR output?
I'm told to shoot in HDR, the color space should be ST.2084 (PQ) P3,the color on the screen will looks flat and we would require a color monitor to see the correct color.
Hi,
We just published a detailed document on the topic here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/setting-up-inputs-outputs-for-virtual-production/video/hdr-input-and-output/
To ensure proper settings in Unreal and Aximmetry, set Unreal's Frame Buffer Pixel Format to Float RGBA. Then, in the Aximmetry camera compound, set up the Tone Mapping (HDR) as in the document.
When using an HDMI or DP cable, Windows will automatically convert the video signal to the Rec.2100 PQ codec. Therefore, if you are using HDMI to monitor colors, I don't think you need to adjust any settings in Aximmetry or elsewhere other than enabling Use HDR in Windows. In the case of SDI, you can find the support formats in the document.
Warmest regards,
Hi,
No, If you are using an HDMI or DisplayPort connection, you must enable Use HDR in the Windows Display settings:
For those using SDI or NDI connections, you can set the output to 10-bit in the Aximmetry Video Outputs window.
We currently don't have a dedicated document on the HDR workflow. However, we are working on documents related to it. Until that, I'm more than happy to assist with any questions you may have.Note that you can render in HDR using both Aximmetry's render engine and Unreal Engine. In both cases, there are specific settings you'll need to adjust.
Warmest regards,
