Always important your explanations, Georgy, thank you.
I am left with some doubts:
- Basically CMS means converting the input (profiled) signals into the
absolute color coordinates X,Y,Z (nowadays others can be used) via the
internal “engine” called CMM. Again through CMM we can convert X,Y and
Z to any specific coordinate of the various devices we use (monitor,
printer, projector, other PCs, video interfaces and their cables,
etc.). In this way, however, the many conversions will maintain color
consistency.
- I knew that the monitor profiling was actually the profiling of
“Monitor + video card”. Shouldn't the output, then, already consider
the video card drivers? Isn't it possible to consider hardware
acceleration in CMS?
- DaVinci Resolve supports several types of Color Management, the
oldest being as follows: You import the video with its color space.
You make an initial node where you set the signal according to that
color space (input). Then you make a second node for the output where
you set the color space we want on the output. The set of these two
nodes is the color management of the program. Between these two nodes
we can insert as many color correction nodes as we want, while still
staying within the color management of the program.
