Here's what I'm reading in the Reference Manual.
"DaVinci Resolve 12 introduced a color science option called “DaVinci YRGB Color Managed,” or
more simply “Resolve Color Management” (RCM). This introduced a so-called “Scene Referred” color
management scheme, in which you have the option of matching each type of media you’ve imported into your project with a color profile that informs DaVinci Resolve how to represent each specific color from each clip’s native color space within the common working color space of the timeline in which you’re editing, grading, and finishing."
Now to me, that means RCM was designed to get disparate camera color spaces into one common working space. In colloquial (if perhaps not technically correct) terms, to 'look the same'.
So it seems to me a good starting point for Sebastian in his stated goal. Darren, as well, makes this point in the video I linked. He shows how to use RCM to get media from different cameras into the needed Rec.709 space.
If you guys are making a different point, what am I missing here?
