  • How Close Is Close Enough? Specifying Colour Tolerances for Hdr and Wcg Displays
    HOW CLOSE IS CLOSE ENOUGH? SPECIFYING COLOUR TOLERANCES FOR HDR AND WCG DISPLAYS Jaclyn A. Pytlarz, Elizabeth G. Pieri Dolby Laboratories Inc., USA ABSTRACT With a new high-dynamic-range (HDR) and wide-colour-gamut (WCG) standard defined in ITU-R BT.2100 (1), display and projector manufacturers are racing to extend their visible colour gamut by brightening and widening colour primaries. The question is: how close is close enough? Having this answer is increasingly important for both consumer and professional display manufacturers who strive to balance design trade-offs. In this paper, we present “ground truth” visible colour differences from a psychophysical experiment using HDR laser cinema projectors with near BT.2100 colour primaries up to 1000 cd/m2. We present our findings, compare colour difference metrics, and propose specifying colour tolerances for HDR/WCG displays using the ΔICTCP (2) metric. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND From initial display design to consumer applications, measuring colour differences is a vital component of the imaging pipeline. Now that the industry has moved towards displays with higher dynamic range as well as wider, more saturated colours, no standardized method of measuring colour differences exists. In display calibration, aside from metamerism effects, it is crucial that the specified tolerances align with human perception. Otherwise, one of two undesirable situations might result: first, tolerances are too large and calibrated displays will not appear to visually match; second, tolerances are unnecessarily tight and the calibration process becomes uneconomic. The goal of this paper is to find a colour difference measurement metric for HDR/WCG displays that balances the two and closely aligns with human vision.

  • Painting with Light: a Technical Overview of Implementing HDR Support in Krita
    Painting with Light: A Technical Overview of Implementing HDR Support in Krita Executive Summary Krita, a leading open source application for artists, has become one of the first digital painting software to achieve true high dynamic range (HDR) capability. With more than two million downloads per year, the program enables users to create and manipulate illustrations, concept art, comics, matte paintings, game art, and more. With HDR, Krita now opens the door for professionals and amateurs to a vastly extended range of colors and luminance. The pioneering approach of the Krita team can be leveraged by developers to add HDR to other applications. Krita and Intel engineers have also worked together to enhance Krita performance through Intel® multithreading technology, while Intel’s built-in support of HDR provides further acceleration. This white paper gives a high-level description of the development process to equip Krita with HDR. A Revolution in the Display of Color and Brightness Before the arrival of HDR, displays were calibrated to comply with the D65 standard of whiteness, corresponding to average midday light in Western and Northern Europe. Possibilities of storing color, contrast, or other information about each pixel were limited. Encoding was limited to a depth of 8 bits; some laptop screens only handled 6 bits per pixel. By comparison, HDR standards typically define 10 bits per pixel, with some rising to 16. This extra capacity for storing information allows HDR displays to go beyond the basic sRGB color space used previously and display the colors of Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020 (Rec. 2020, also known as BT.2020).

This document is paginated for two sided printing Tech 3320 v4.1 User requirements for Video Monitors in Television Production Conformance Notation This document contains both normative text and informative text. All text is normative except for that in the Introduction, any § explicitly labeled as ‘Informative’ or individual paragraphs which start with ‘Note:’. Normative text describes indispensable or mandatory elements. It contains the conformance keywords ‘shall’, ‘should’ or ‘may’, defined as follows: ‘Shall’ and ‘shall not’: Indicate requirements to be followed strictly and from which no deviation is permitted in order to conform to the document. ‘Should’ and ‘should not’: Indicate that, among several possibilities, one is recommended as particularly suitable, without mentioning or excluding others. OR indicate that a certain course of action is preferred but not necessarily required. OR indicate that (in the negative form) a certain possibility or course of action is deprecated but not prohibited. ‘May’ and ‘need not’: Indicate a course of action permissible within the limits of the document. Informative text is potentially helpful to the user, but it is not indispensable, and it does not affect the normative text. Informative text does not contain any conformance keywords. Unless otherwise stated, a conformant implementation is one which includes all mandatory provisions (‘shall’) and, if implemented, all recommended provisions (‘should’) as described. A conformant implementation need not implement optional provisions (‘may’) and need not implement them as described.

First, they are typically only defined for achro- tion thresholds in color spaces that are more commonly used in matic contrast. Second, even when they are defined for chromatic imaging, video, and color science applications, such as sRGB contrast, the thresholds are described along the cardinal dimen- and YCbCr.

True, July 25, 2016 HDR Overview Human Perception Colorspaces Tone & Gamut Mapping AGENDA ACES HDR Display Pipeline Best Practices Final Thoughts Q & A 2 WHAT IS HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE? HDR is considered a combination of: • Bright display: 750 cm/m 2 minimum, 1000-10,000 cd/m 2 highlights • Deep blacks: Contrast of 50k:1 or better • 4K or higher resolution • Wide color gamut What’s a nit? A measure of light emitted per unit area. 1 nit (nt) = 1 candela / m 2 3 BENEFITS OF HDR Improved Visuals Richer colors Realistic highlights More contrast and detail in shadows Reduces / Eliminates clipping and compression issues HDR isn’t simply about making brighter images 4 HUNT EFFECT Increasing the Luminance Increases the Colorfulness By increasing luminance it is possible to show highly saturated colors without using highly saturated RGB color primaries Note: you can easily see the effect but CIE xy values stay the same 5 STEPHEN EFFECT Increased Spatial Resolution More visual acuity with increased luminance. Simple experiment – look at book page indoors and then walk with a book into sunlight 6 HOW HDR IS DELIVERED TODAY High-end professional color grading displays - Dolby Pulsar (4000 nits), Dolby Maui, SONY X300 (1000 nit OLED) UHD TVs - LG, SONY, Samsung… (1000 nits, high contrast, UHD-10, Dolby Vision, etc) Rec. 2020 UHDTV wide color gamut SMPTE ST-2084 Dolby Perceptual Quantizer (PQ) Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) SMPTE ST-2094 Dynamic metadata specification 7 REAL WORLD VISIBLE
