For note DCP's are typically 2.6 gamma encoded X'Y'Z'. Conversion to Rec 709 RGB might be as simple as linearise to XYZ and then convert to 709 using the primaries matrix and apply an appropriate transfer function for your new display environment, however for perceptual matching you may need to

Hi, Kieran, are the DPX logarithmic RGB or linear RGB? In my esperience without using a 3DLUT -> The logarithmic scale of the RGB values always lead to washed out pictures, when transcoding to a linear scale. I think you need a 3DLUT (e.g CineonLOG) and the colorspace filter to get better

Hello, I want to transcode a DCP to ProRes or x264 while transforming to bt709. I am experimenting with the colorspace filter, as I've found that most DCPS that I've converted have low contrast and washed out colours. As some DCP players (EasyDCP) allow XYZ -> bt709 transforms, I wanted to see
