This is interesting and I’d like to know more in depth if I can be pointed in the right direction, or if a brief explanation is given, it would be really appreciated.
I was under the impression that Blackmagic Design colour space is interchangeable with BMD Film gamut, and when shooting on Pocket 4K in BRAW with Film Dynamic Range, the camera – as stated in the manual – “shoots video using a log curve that allows you to maintain the greatest dynamic range”.
So, the Gen 5 log (or gamma) curve is better than that of Gen 4, but the captured colour space – Pocket 4K Film Dynamic Range, for instance – is a compressed version of the Blackmagic Design Colour Space? If so, how do the two colour spaces compare with each other and the rest of the common in-camera and post-production colour spaces such as Arri’s, ACES, and Rec. 709?
I’ve been looking for the chromaticity diagram with the primaries of Blackmagic Design colour space, but haven’t found one so far. If there’s one with BMD wide gamut and BMD Film primaries, it would be illuminating.
And if the in-camera Film Dynamic Range is a compressed version of the Blackmagic Design gamut, then I’d second Jamie – an option to choose uncompressed BMD colour space in camera would be really valuable.
