The data can be embedded in a line between lines 9 and 20. SR Live Metadata is embedded in line 14 by default. When the output format is 3G-SDI Level B/HD-SDI, SR Live Metadata is also embedded in the 2nd field. SR Live Metadata input HDR SDR Relation Table data included in the input signal can be applied to the conversion settings. The following two modes are supported. Apply Once: Data is applied only when an import operation is performed. Apply Continuously: The input metadata is continuously loaded and the data is always applied. Note There will be a delay of several frames when applying the data. HDR Look Function The HDR Look is a settings that determines the basic Look (visual performance, attractiveness) of the HDR video. This is a basic setting that determines how the image captured by the camera will be displayed on the display as an HDR image. You can select from the following three settings. Live: Characteristics based on the traditional Look derived from current SDR images. A powerful image with strong contrast and high color density. Wide dynamic range with substantial image brightness, capturing highlights without overexposure. Mild: Based on the Live Look but with an overall milder image characteristic. Natural: HLG original Look. Calm, gentle color density. The actual sensitivity setting is reduced, but with better S/N ratio. (Natural Look can be selected only when the output signal OETF setting is HLG.) Look Conversion Function When converting from HDR to HDR, the basic characteristics of the video (HDR Look and HDR Black Compression) can be converted at the input and output. To use the Look conversion function, AIR MATCHING and ADDITIONAL PAINT must be set to ON. 17

HDR SDR Relation Table
The following items
1)
are sent and received as SR Live
Metadata.
1) Only HDRC-4000 supported items are shown.
2) SR AIR OFF = Scene Referred conversion, AIR MATCHING is OFF
SR AIR ON = Scene Referred conversion, AIR MATCHING is ON
DR Map = Display Referred conversion
SR Live Metadata output
SR Live Metadata can be embedded in the VANC space (on/
off setting).
The data can be embedded in a line between lines 9 and 20.
SR Live Metadata is embedded in line 14 by default. When the
output format is 3G-SDI Level B/HD-SDI, SR Live Metadata is
also embedded in the 2nd field.
SR Live Metadata input
HDR SDR Relation Table data included in the input signal can
be applied to the conversion settings.
The following two modes are supported.
Apply Once:
Data is applied only when an import operation is
performed.
Apply Continuously:
The input metadata is continuously
loaded and the data is always applied.
There will be a delay of several frames when applying the data.
HDR Look Function
The HDR Look is a settings that determines the basic Look
(visual performance, attractiveness) of the HDR video.
This is a basic setting that determines how the image captured
by the camera will be displayed on the display as an HDR
image. You can select from the following three settings.
Live:
Characteristics based on the traditional Look derived
from current SDR images. A powerful image with strong
contrast and high color density. Wide dynamic range with
substantial image brightness, capturing highlights without
overexposure.
Mild:
Based on the Live Look but with an overall milder image
characteristic.
Natural:
HLG original Look. Calm, gentle color density. The
actual sensitivity setting is reduced, but with better S/N
ratio. (Natural Look can be selected only when the output
signal OETF setting is HLG.)
Look Conversion Function
When converting from HDR to HDR, the basic characteristics
of the video (HDR Look and HDR Black Compression) can be
converted at the input and output.
To use the Look conversion function, AIR MATCHING and
ADDITIONAL PAINT must be set to ON.
No.
