Question

Mercury Transmit: Color is not meet

I have 3 displays, HDR and SDR

 

I'm using Mercury Transmit to monitor in my HDR display, so Premiere Pro window is in my SDR display, however I just noticed Mercury Transmit monitoring depends on which monitor it's in.

 

When my Premiere Pro is in HDR display and using Mercury TRansmit in HDR display, the monitored looks good, but when it's in SDR display and using Mercury Transmit in HDR display, the monitored has incorrect color. the monitored is still HDR, buy the color is little bit dark than final result. I'm worried that I graded the color wrongly so far

 

I enabled Display Color Management, Extended Dynamic Color Monitoring, Auto Tonemap, Reg.2100 HLG for footage and sequence, I'm using v23.6.0.65 on Windows vNext NT 10.0.27729.1000, and my graphics card is Intel Iris Xe v32.0.101.6129


Another question: does Mercury Transmit decrease the edit performance? How much use the recourse?

This is because Premiere Pro's main interface is on the SDR monitor.
If the Program Monitor panel is on an HDR monitor and the Main Interface is on an SDR monitor, Premiere Pro will convert based on SDR (which may be Rec.709).
Try the latest version of Premiere Pro, the new and improved DCM offers HDR conversion on SDR monitors by setting a preset. ACEScct Profile has been added.

So, well... you hope the people watching your video have an HDR monitor.

Mercury Transmit is a feature that requires GPU acceleration, which consumes system resources.
However, it has a negligible impact on performance.

I'm reconsidering using recent Adobe apps. Which version should I use? as I know Premiere Pro still doesn't provide ACEScct support. Is there any news about that?
