8.17 log_mode <mode>
Use this command to switch the device into LOG mode. In this mode the camera will use a
fixed gamma curve on both outputs (depending on the used mode, see table below).
When leaving LOG mode (setting it to “0”) the previously defined settings for the gamma
curve will be restored automatically.

Off:
The user can define the gamma curve.
1
HLG:
A Hybrid LOG gamma curve is used and the gain is internally adjusted
to correctly expose the image. This will limit your gain range (the minimum
gain is doubled).
2
PQ:
A PQ gamma curve is used. The user has to setup the maximum
brightness of the attached display using the “pq_max_brightness” command
(see chapter 8.18).
3
S-Log3:
A S-Log3 gamma curve is used. The user can setup the gain of the
curve using the “slog3_master_gain” command (see chapter 8.19).
When using a LOG gamma curve more details in bright image areas are preserved, but
the image will have a “flat” look. Post processing is needed to generate a naturally looking
image.
Depending on the LOG mode, there are some points to consider:
•
When LOG mode is active, you can not manually adjust the gamma curve. For
more details on gamma curve and lookup-table management see chapter 13. Once
you disable LOG mode, the previous gamma settings are restored.
•
Some workflows use the the extended SDI range in PQ mode to increase the
amount of available code values. To switch to extended SDI range use the
sdi_range
command.
•
The S-Log3 standard requires extended SDI range to be used, therefore the SDI
range is fixed to extended in this mode and can not be changed by the user. If you
switch to a different LOG mode or disable LOG mode the previous SDI range
settings will be restored.
8.18 pq_max_brightness <max>
This command is used to adjust the brightness of the output signal in PQ LOG mode (see
log_mode
command above for more details). The maximum brightness can be set from
100 to 10000 cd/m
