Hi
I am new to video editing and DaVinci Resolve, but have good experience in photo editing so understand the concepts of color management etc. I am looking to understand what HDR editing capabilities my setup has. I am just an amateur looking to get the best out of my camera video recording and playback on my HDR 4K TV.
My setup is:
1) Record video in my mirrorless camera using log. Also record small amount using my iPhone in HDR.
2) Editing is on a Windows 10 PC. Reasonable config: Intel i9 13900K processor, 128GB RAM, Nvidia 4070Ti graphics card.
3) DaVinci Resolve Studio version 18.6
4) Single Monitor: Eizo CG2700X, not true HDR but will reach 500Nits, and has display options for PQ DCI P3 etc.
I think a 500 nit HDR workflow would work and get me a bit more than SDR and I could view on my monitor. I think a 1000 Nit workflow would be better for the TV and maybe I could use 1000Nit workflow on the PC and use the scopes to monitor brightness between 500 and 1000 nits.
Questions
1) Is there any advantage to upgrade to Windows 11 for HDR editing?
2) Do I need a BlackMagic playback device like the UltraStudio Monitor 3G as I do not have a separate playback monitor?
3) What HDR workflow capabilities does my setup have, am I close with my assumptions above or am I totally off track?
4) Where is the best place to find training on HDR workflow in DaVinci Resolve?
Many thanks
