Purpose: For matching different camera log/raw settings to a consistent one, so the footages dont’ need to apply LUTs
Project setting→Color Management→DaVinci YRGB color Managed→DaVinci Wide Gamut
At Output color space. depend on where the video expected to be shown (e.g. youtube, choose Rec 709 Gamma 2.4) (7:10-7:40)

Select HDR platte Wheels → Global for exposure adjustment, Tint, Temp, etc
For footages which have different Input color space not included in Resolve system: Choose Custom instead of Davinci Wide Gamuet → tick Use separate color space and gamma between input color space and timeline color space
OR use Transform Effect (good to use when only 1-2 shots needed to be adopted in timeline):
In Color tab, R click on the footage wanted to apply → By Pass Color Management
Go to edit tab , R click → by pass color management
Back to color tab → apply Color Space Transfrom on the node
