BETACAM SP Footage in ACES

Discussions - Using ACES

Hi there

Sorry if this has been asked already. Bit of a random request. We’re shooting Sony Venice and using an ACES colour pipe to grade via Resolve. We’ve also shot some BETACAM SP footage for an archive scene. I’m trying to work out what settings for the IDT I should be using to get the footage to come into the Resolve timeline and appear as REC 709. Can anyone please recommend the correct settings to get this footage into Resolve. Thanks in advance

Hey Shibbir,
the BETACAM SP will most likely be PAL. There are some minor, although relevant, differences with r709, so even if an inverse R709 transform might look okeyish, perhaps would be better to create a more accurate transform from PAL’s primaries.

Best regards,
