  • COLOR SPACE MODELS for VIDEO and CHROMA SUBSAMPLING
    COLOR SPACE MODELS for VIDEO and CHROMA SUBSAMPLING Color space A color model is an abstract mathematical model describing the way colors can be represented as tuples of numbers, typically as three or four values or color components (e.g. RGB and CMYK are color models). However, a color model with no associated mapping function to an absolute color space is a more or less arbitrary color system with little connection to the requirements of any given application. Adding a certain mapping function between the color model and a certain reference color space results in a definite "footprint" within the reference color space. This "footprint" is known as a gamut, and, in combination with the color model, defines a new color space. For example, Adobe RGB and sRGB are two different absolute color spaces, both based on the RGB model. In the most generic sense of the definition above, color spaces can be defined without the use of a color model. These spaces, such as Pantone, are in effect a given set of names or numbers which are defined by the existence of a corresponding set of physical color swatches. This article focuses on the mathematical model concept. Understanding the concept Most people have heard that a wide range of colors can be created by the primary colors red, blue, and yellow, if working with paints. Those colors then define a color space. We can specify the amount of red color as the X axis, the amount of blue as the Y axis, and the amount of yellow as the Z axis, giving us a three-dimensional space, wherein every possible color has a unique position.

  • 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.

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.
