Hi guys,
can you please suggest me the correct color settings in davinci to edit these Sony A7sIII HLG2 Rec.2020 in Davinci ?

Just to make sure that my exported files are seen by HDR televisions like the original generated in camera.

So far I tried these settings but my scopes shows an SDR 100 nits signal, and my HDR monitor as well.

The ACES settings are in fact an ODT, not an IDT. They are absolutely wrong.

If you are shooting standard HLG, you can use the HLG (Scene) input setting in RCM, but beware that there are currently issues with having an the default Input DRT - you will need to disable DaVinci input DRT.

Also, the HLG2 profile uses a custom gamma curve that's not the same as the standard HLG curve.

I've written something up on this matter which might make you reconsider using HLG2: https://xtremestuff.net/sony-and-hybrid-log-gamma-hlg/

After export? On a calibrated HDR display? (Not your computer.)
