    NBCU UHD Single-Master Production - Reading Scopes Ebook

    Uploaded by

    Aleex
    This document discusses reading video scopes as a reference for UHD HDR-SDR single-master live production. It provides an overview of optimal gain staging when converting between HLG, PQ, and SDR color spaces using NBCUniversal LUTs 1 and 3. Examples are given of how color bars, waveforms, and levels appear at different points in the conversion process between HDR and SDR. Roundtripping signals is also demonstrated, with a note that roundtripping from HLG to SDR back to HLG should be avoided.

    UHD Single-Master - Optimal Gain Staging

    When the SDR shading display is set to 203nits, SDR peak-white


    is equal to HDR graphic white. This allows the two displays to be
    Optimal gain-staging starts with placed side-by-side.

    shading SDR at 203nits which is SDR downmapping, applies a linear mapping so that the
    upmapping for a roundtrip is removed from HDR black to
    closer to what todays consumer reference white. A knee is applied above HDR reference white
    displays use. so that some level of HDR highlights are preserved in SDR.

    A consumer display typically rescales the video closer to 203nits


    providing optimal gain staging from source-to-consumer.
