The mode-specific settings are Dynamic range compression profile, line mode (dynamicRangeCompressionLine) and Dynamic range compression profile, RF mode (dynamicRangeCompressionRf). Note that when you specify values for all three settings, MediaConvert ignores the value of this setting in favor of the mode-specific settings. If you do use this setting instead of the mode-specific settings, choose None (NONE) to leave out DRC signaling. Keep the default Film standard (FILM_STANDARD) to set the profile to Dolby's film standard profile for all operating modes."
