Player Options

The button with three dots opens a pop-up menu allowing you to set certain options for the playback window:

Colour Space Journey

Clicking on the Colour Space Journey option will bring up an overlay of the Colour Space Journey for the current clip you are viewing:

The Colour Space Journey gives you an overview of how the colour is being transformed on its way from the master source media on its way to the display you are viewing it on.

In the example above, the media file itself has a colour space of 'Sony S-Gamut3' which is being converted via an intermediate 'Working Colour Space' into the Viewing Colour Space of my local display which is 'PQ, 1000 nits'.

This pop-up view enables you to check that the colour is being managed correctly and that what you are seeing is an accurate representation of the original media. Note that if you are viewing several clips together it is possible they may have different source colour spaces - the Colour Space Journey will show you the colour journey for the clip you are currently seeing in the display.

The colour workflow can be customised for each project according to your requirements - see ??? for details.

To close the Colour Space Journey window, click on the 'X' button at its top-left corner.

Export Report

This option is only available if you are currently playing back a playlist - if you opened the playback window from the browser and select this option, a temporary playlist will be created to enable a report to be exported.

Click on the Export Report option to switch to the reports view for your current playlist.

HDR Display

If your display supports HDR then enabling the HDR option will switch the video stream from the a 100nits 'Rec.709' standard dynamic range signal to a 1000nits 'PQ' stream enabling you to accurately view HDR footage on your local display.

You can use the Colour Space Journey to check the colour space currently being used to display your media.

Counter Overlays

Enabling the Counters option will overlay timecode counters and the current media file path within the playback window:
