Can you set final color balance in camera with this.
Can you have auto colour with this in camera, press to set, or turn on?
Otherwise, can you use this to set all levels in camera to hand off final footage to directly broadcast, transcoded to final encode or stream.
All these things are provided with .braw in the Ursa Mini Pro today.
Ursa Mini Pro has an auto white balance button. The temp + tint settings are saved as metadata in braw when the files are recorded. And, if you set it in the camera menu to use Extended Video dynamic range gamma for display that choice will also be recorded in metadata.
Then, any player or transcoder running the SDK will use the temp+tint settings and Extended Video dynamic range gamma for playback or transcode straight from the camera card.
If, for any reason, any of that metadata needs to be changed, it can be done in Resolve, or alternatively because the metadata is JSON, it should be super simple for third party apps to change any of the braw image decode metadata before playback or transcode. By opening up a braw sidecar file in any text editor you can see and change the decode just by typing in new values for each variable:
"tone_curve_contrast": 1.625746,
"tone_curve_saturation": 1.070000,
"tone_curve_midpoint": 0.409008,
"tone_curve_highlights": 0.600000,
"tone_curve_shadows": 1.733267,
"tone_curve_video_black_level": 1,
"viewing_gamma": "Blackmagic Design Extended Video",
"viewing_gamut": "Blackmagic Design",
"viewing_bmdgen": 4,
"exposure": -0.400000,
"white_balance_kelvin": 6000,
"white_balance_tint": 10,
"iso": 400,
Right out of the gate, it's an amazingly useful and flexible design.
