F65RAW Viewer supports the following three typical workflows for the development and conversion of
F65RAW files without loss of its richness and integration with the DI process. With the different view
modes, F65RAW Viewer can be used not only simply for viewing clips, but also for checking the original
look of a clip or the expected color grading result with a particular Look Control or a Monitor Lookup
Table(LUT) applied at each stage in the pipeline.
S-Gamut/Linear Workflow S-Gamut/Linear workflow is suitable for a 16-bit Linear DPX. It offers an easy-to-use color
management while retaining the expressive power of the media.
S-Gamut/S-Log2 Workflow S-Gamut/S-Log2 workflow is suitable for S-Log2 DPX; this is optimal for Sony S-Log workflow.

When you select a clip in the Clip Browser, all parameter settings including check box states, except
for Exposure, Kelvin, Tint and ASC-CDL maintains the previous values. When you restart this application,
the settings are reset to default values. Parameters of Exposure, Kelvin, Tint and ASC-CDL are reset to
default values read from a F65RAW file, when you select a clip.
Input Settings
Select the Workspace Color Space (color gamut
and gamma curve) for the ASC-CDL in the Input
Settings.
The Exposure Index (EI) indicates the camera
setting when the content was shot. If an EI different
from the standard value of 800 was used, then the
Exposure slider moves to match the EI value and a
push (or pull) process is applied. You can also put
the value back to 800 so that the push (or pull)
process is not applied. In this way, you can view the content with its original luminance.
Material Color Space: Indicates the color gamut and tone curve characteristic of a F65RAW file.
ISO Sensitivity: Indicates ISO sensitivity value of a F65RAW file. This parameter is written into a F65RAW file
shot by F65 camera.
Exposure Index: Indicates Exposure Index value of a F65RAW file. This shows the F65 camera Sensitivity(EI
value) setting used when the media recorded.
Exposure: Adjusts exposure from default luminance from the original EI. The default is set to the same
value as the Exposure Index. Select the exposure value among the following values;
80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320, 400, 500,640, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3200,
4000, 5000, 6400, 8000, or 10000 [ISO Index]
Kelvin: Adjusts the color temperatures. It modifies Red, Blue gain based on the black-body radiator
RGB balance curve. The default value is read from F65 camera Color temperature setting
(3200k, 4300k, or 5500k); this is used as the norm of RGB balance.
Range is from 2800 to 10000. The default is same as the value of White Balance in a F65RAW
file.
Tint: Adjusts the color balance between Green and Magenta. It modifies the balance of Green and
the pair of Red and Blue. It compensates color balance adjustments by Kelvin slider.
Range is from -1.00 to 1.00. Default is 0.00.
Workspace Color Space:
F65RAW Viewer Operation Guide Mar-30, 2012 26
Selects the workspace ( color gamut and tone curve ) for look control. It controls Linear to
S-Log2 conversion or S-Gamut to ACES gamut conversion. Exposure, Kelvin and Tint are
processed before this workspace conversion.
Reset: [Reset] button is located on the right side of the Input Setting tool. When you click the [Reset] button, Exposure, Kelvin and Tint are reset to default values.
Check Box: The check box located on the left side of the Input Setting toggles between the user color
setting and default setting.
Exposure, Kelvin and Tint values are reset to default when a new clip is selected on Clip Browser.
Look Control
When a clip is selected, the ASC-CDL parameters are automatically set to the values given in its xml
metadata file or F65RAW file. These parameters are applied when the clip is viewed. Other parameters
stay the same as the previous setting including all check box states.
All of the parameters set in the Look Control, including the ASC-CDL parameters obtained from the
xml metadata file or F65RAW file, are ASC-CDL encoded and are applied during processing and
viewing.
Note that the Workspace Color Space selected in the Input Settings will affect the result of applying the
ASC-CDL parameters.
Look Control contains the following elements.
• Image
• RGB
• Lift/Gain/Gamma
• ASC-CDL
Image
Saturation:
Adjusts the color saturation. If the value is set to zero, a monochromatic image is produces.
Range is from 0.00 to 5.00. Default is 1.00.
Contrast: Adjusts the tone curve and it keeps the center of luminance value. The center of luminance are
reflected the result of following Brightness parameter.
Range is from -1.00 to 1.00. Default is 0.00.

If the check box is set to unchecked, no ASC-CDL processing is performed.
Viewer Settings
From the Viewer Settings window, you can
select color gamut and monitoring LUT to
apply for viewing clips.
The default LUT (Rec. 709) has a standard Rec. 709 gamma curve with luminance levels in the range
from 0% to 100%. If another built-in LUT is selected, then you can view clips with luminance levels over
100% while preserving a normal video look.
Note that the Rec.709 color gamut is used in the Clip Viewer by default. However, if the check is
removed from the Viewer Settings checkbox, then this color gamut transform is disabled.
Gamut: The following color gamut conversion ( 3x3 Matrix ) is supported.
Rec.709: Standard Rec.709 (equivalent to sRGB) color gamut transformed from original
S-Gamut.
S-Gamut: Original gamut on F65RAW media.
ACES: ACES color gamut defined by AMPAS-IIF
MLUT: The following monitoring 1D-LUT is supported.
Rec.709: Standard Rec.709 gamma curve applied to video level from 0% to 100%.
709(800): Rec.709 like tone curve that extends the dynamic range like knee function.
Compatible with F65 camera SDI-OUT LUT.
HG8000G36: Sony Hyper Gamma.
HG8000G30: Sony Hyper Gamma.

file respectively, the UMID of the generated file is identical to that of the source file.
Export Settings
Before you export a clip, make export settings to determine the behavior and file format. Once you
complete the settings, click the [Submit] button to schedule an export of the clip currently viewed.
When you select a clip in the Clip Browser, all parameter settings except Name maintains the
previous values. When you restart this application, the settings except Bin are reset to default values
and Bin maintains the previous value. Name is reset to the name of the selected clip in Clip Browser.
F65RAW Viewer Operation Guide Mar-30, 2012 32
Format:
Selects the output format.
Default is DPX.
Resolution:
Selects the output resolution.
Default is 4096*2160.
Speed:
Selects the RAW-Developing algorithm to apply (On : Speed mode/Off : Quality mode). This
setting is selectable in case the Resolution setting is 4096x2160 or 3840x2160.
Default is Off.
Bit Depth: Selects the output bit depth. The selectable bit depths change depending on the Format
setting.
Default is 16. Format Bit Depth

parameters under Input Settings, Look Control, and Viewer Settings are ignored. In this
mode, the wide latitude and large color space of the F65 can be exploited to the full.
Input Setting Only The clip is exported with the color gamut and gamma curve specified by Workspace Color Space. Only the parameters under Input Settings are applied. Since the Input Settings are
always processed in a linear space, this mode can be used for push (or pull) processing and
white balance adjustments in a S-Log2 workflow.
ALL The clip is output as it is displayed. It is exported with a color gamut and using a gamma curve
determined by the Gamut and MLUT setting. This achieves a look in the exported clip
corresponding to that seen in the Viewer with the Look Control parameters applied but some of
the F65RAW latitude and color space is lost.

LUT File Formats Applicable
Examples of the five lookup table (LUT) file formats applicable to this board are shown below.
Note: Line numbers (“Lx” in the tables below) do not appear in the actual LUT files.
LUT file type 1: R, G, and B have the same value (the same curve) “LUT: 1 1024” in the header indicates one output data block (common to R, G, and B) corresponding
to the 10-bit (1024) input data.
The bit depth of the output is determined by the maximum output value.
(This is an example of 10-bit input and 10-bit output.)

LUT file type 2: R, G, and B have individual values (individual curves) and are aligned vertically in the order of R, G, B “LUT: 3 1024” in the header indicates three separate output data blocks (for R, G, and B) corresponding
with the 10-bit (1024) input data.
The bit depth of the output is determined by the maximum output value.
The output values on lines L1 to L1024 are R values, the values on lines L1025 to L2048 are G values,
and the values on lines L2049 to L3072 are B values.
(This is an example of 10-bit input and 10-bit output.)
