MONONODES Clamp DCTL is an RGB value limiting tool for DaVinci Resolve, designed to manage out-of-range color values and prevent unwanted artifacts when working across different color models.

In a 32-bit floating-point grading environment, RGB values can extend below 0 or above 1. When processed through nodes operating in HSV, these extended values may produce unexpected bright white, blue, or otherwise distorted pixels.

RGB VALUE CONTROL

• RGB Clamping – Restrict individual Red, Green, and Blue channel values to the 0–1 range.
• Black Point – Adjust the minimum threshold for black levels.
• White Point – Define the maximum threshold for white levels.
• Independent Clamping – Enable or disable minimum and maximum value limits as needed.

COLOR GRADING APPLICATIONS

• Prevent unexpected pixel artifacts when using HSV processing nodes.
• Manage negative and above-range RGB values.
• Maintain more predictable color behavior between processing nodes.
• Position the tool within a Node Tree to address specific color processing issues.

COMPATIBILITY & TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Tool Type: DCTL (DaVinci Color Transform Language).
• Software: DaVinci Resolve.
