Nablet's X-OCN Media Extension Ads X-OCN Media Importing And Raw Processor Settings To Final Cut Pro Compared to DVR and PP

 In addition to permitting Final Cut Pro to recognize and import X-OCN clips, the Nablet Media Extension offers media clips based Raw Processing Settings in FCP.

Accessible under the inspector window when the clip is selected, you will now see the active Media Expensions: nablet X-OCN Decoder, and nablet X-OCN Processor.

The below button "Edit RAW Properties", opens the RAW Processor Settings:

It is set by default to the Original Camera Values i.e. the recorded camera metadata.

You can at any time revert to: Initial Values, Original Camera Values, or Neutral Values.

You can adjust Output Color space between: Scene/Linear 2020, S-Log3/S-Gamut3, or S-Log3/S-Gamut3Cine

In Raw Image processing: Color Temperature is adjustable between 2000 and 15000 degrees Kelvin. Tint is adjustable between -100 and +100. ISO is adjustable between 50 and 32000. Exposure Offset is adjustable between -1 and +1. Sharpness is adjustable between -300 and +500.

In Camera VFX is greyed out for Burano footage as it is exclusive to certain Venice footage.

Skimming and playback of 8K X-OCN LT footage is smooth on modestly specced media storage. It plays fine off my TG Vulcan Sata SSDs. For 8K X-OCN ST and XT you need beefier media storage speed. Sata SSDs cannot keep up. Skimming and playback is fine with a USB-C Samsung T7 as media storage.

In DaVinci Resolve, Camera Raw settings under Decode Using Clip has all the adjustments for Color Temperature, Tint, Exposure, Sharpness, and also Shadows, Highlights, Color Boost, Saturation, Midtown Detail, Lift, Gain, and Contrast. Plus Decode Quality and White Balance adjustment.

Other decode modes are: Sony Default, Camera Metadata, and Project.

In Premiere Pro, Color Space is assignable within the Source Settings. Rec 709, S-Gamut/S-Log2, S-Gamut3/S-Log3, and S-Gamut3Cine/S-Log3 are available. On import it correctly identifies S-Gamut3Cine/S-Log3.

Then there is the case of Modify/Interpret Footage/Color window. Use Media Color Space is selected and stamped as Rec 709, which is puzzling.

The Source Clips Settings is also available under the Lumetri Color Settings tab:

The footage appears desaturated in this case:

Changing the settings to Override Media Color Space and to S-Gamut3Cine/S-Log3 as it should be, then the footage looks nice.
