86-405: SRGB essentially codifies the display specifications for the computer monitors in use at that time, which greatly aided its acceptance. sRGB uses the same color primaries and white point as ITU-R BT.709 standard for HDTV , a transfer function (or gamma ) compatible with the era's CRT displays , and a viewing environment designed to match typical home and office viewing conditions. sRGB defines

172-433: A black body follows Planck's law : At the time of standardizing illuminant A, both c 1 = 2 π ⋅ h ⋅ c 2 {\displaystyle c_{1}=2\pi \cdot h\cdot c^{2}} (which does not affect the relative SPD) and c 2 = h ⋅ c / k {\displaystyle c_{2}=h\cdot c/k} were different. In 1968,

258-400: A power function with a gamma 0.45 for the rest of the range. The overall OETF approximate to a pure power function with a gamma 0.50 – 0.53 (about 1/1.9 – 1/2.0). Using any pure gamma as OETF is impossible, because compression into nonlinear values will remove a lot of immediately near black shadows, and the infinite gain (slope) near zero heavily emphasizes camera noise. Thus a linear segment

344-417: A progressively scanned frame , PsF indicates progressive segmented frames , and I indicates interlaced : Per BT.709, cameras may capture in either progressive or interlaced form. Video captured as progressive can be recorded, broadcast, or streamed as progressive or as progressive segmented frame (PsF). Video captured using an interlaced mode must be distributed as interlace unless a de-interlace process

430-531: A white point , corresponding to a correlated color temperature of 6504 K. Rec. 709 , used in HDTV systems, truncates the CIE 1931 coordinates to x=0.3127, y=0.329. There are no actual daylight light sources, only simulators. Constructing a practical light source that emulates a D-series illuminant is a difficult problem. The chromaticity can be replicated simply by taking a well known light source and applying filters, such as

516-405: A 4:3 aspect ratio, and at a relatively low resolution. Scaling them up to HD resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio presents a number of challenges. First is the potential for distracting motion artifacts due to interlaced video content. The solution is to either up-convert only to an interlaced BT.709 format at the same field rate, and scale the fields independently, or use motion processing to remove

602-445: A CIE recommendation. Nevertheless, they do provide a measure, called the metamerism index , to assess the quality of daylight simulators. The Metamerism Index tests how well five sets of metameric samples match under the test and reference illuminant. In a manner similar to the color rendering index , the average difference between the metamers is calculated. The CIE defines illuminant A in these terms: CIE standard illuminant A

688-473: A CRT without any lookup greatly helped sRGB's adoption. Gamma also usefully encodes more data near the black, which reduces visible noise and quantization artifacts. The standard also defines a opto-electronic transfer function (OETF), which defines the conversion of linear light or signal intensity to a gamma-compressed image data. It is a piecewise compound function and has an approximate γ {\displaystyle \gamma } of 2.2, with

774-453: A change of that segment from 709 is needed by either using parametric curve encoding of ICC v4 or by using slope limit. Rec. 709 defines an R’G’B’ encoding and a Y’C B C R encoding, each with either 8 bits or 10 bits per sample in each color channel. In the 8-bit encoding the R’ , B’ , G’ , and Y’ channels have a nominal range of [16..235], and the C B and C R channels have

860-504: A color temperature, but it can be approximated by a D series illuminant with a CCT of 5455 K. (Of the canonical illuminants, D 55 is the closest.) Manufacturers sometimes compare light sources against illuminant E to calculate the excitation purity . The F series of illuminants represent various types of fluorescent lighting . F1–F6 "standard" fluorescent lamps consist of two semi-broadband emissions of antimony and manganese activations in calcium halophosphate phosphor . F4

946-415: A dark living room. Illuminant D65 A standard illuminant is a theoretical source of visible light with a spectral power distribution that is published. Standard illuminants provide a basis for comparing images or colors recorded under different lighting. The International Commission on Illumination (usually abbreviated CIE for its French name) is the body responsible for publishing all of

1032-500: A dimly lit encoding (creation) environment with an ambient correlated color temperature (CCT) of 5003 K. This differs from the CCT of the illuminant ( D65 ). Using D50 for both would have made the white point of most photographic paper appear excessively blue. The other parameters, such as the luminance level, are representative of a typical CRT monitor. For optimal results, the ICC recommends using

1118-508: A higher bit depth to maintain a low color error rate (∆E). An ICC profile or a lookup table may be used to convert sRGB to other color spaces. ICC profiles for sRGB are widely distributed, and the ICC distributes several variants of sRGB profiles, including variants for ICCmax, version 4, and version 2. Version 4 is generally recommended, but version 2 is still commonly used and is the most compatible with other software including browsers. Version 2 of

1204-404: A linear portion near zero to avoid an infinite slope which emphasizes signal (camera) noise. Near zero, a γ 1 / 2.4 {\displaystyle \gamma ^{1/2.4}} power law curve intercepts a straight-line section that leads to zero. In practice, there is still debate and confusion around whether sRGB data should be displayed with pure 2.2 gamma as defined in

1290-527: A matrix to obtain CIE XYZ (the matrix has infinite precision, any change in its values or adding non-zeroes is not allowed): This is actually the matrix for BT.709 primaries, not just for sRGB, the second row corresponds to the BT.709-2 luma coefficients (BT.709-1 had a typo in these coefficients). The CIE XYZ values must be scaled so that the Y of D65 ("white") is 1.0 ( X = 0.9505, Y = 1.0000, Z = 1.0890). This

1376-807: A nominal range of [16..240] with 128 as the neutral value. So in limited range R’G’B’ reference black is (16, 16, 16) and reference white is (235, 235, 235), and in Y’C B C R reference black is (16, 128, 128) and reference white is (235, 128, 128). Values outside the nominal ranges are allowed, but typically they would be clamped for broadcast or for display (except for Superwhite and xvYCC ). Values 0 and 255 are reserved as timing references (SAV and EAV), and may not contain color data (for 8 bits, for 10 bits more values are reserved and for 12 bits even more, no values are reserved in files or RGB mode or full range YCbCr digital modes like sYCC or opYCC ). Rec. 709's 10-bit encoding uses nominal values four times those of

1462-400: A pair of chromaticity coordinates . If an image is recorded in tristimulus coordinates (or in values which can be converted to and from them), then the white point of the illuminant used gives the maximum value of the tristimulus coordinates that will be recorded at any point in the image, in the absence of fluorescence . It is called the white point of the image. The process of calculating

1548-428: A red LED. LED-RGB1 defines the white light produced by a tricolor LED mix. LED-V1 and V2 define LEDs with phosphor-converted violet light. The spectrum of a standard illuminant, like any other profile of light, can be converted into tristimulus values . The set of three tristimulus coordinates of an illuminant is called a white point . If the profile is normalized , then the white point can equivalently be expressed as

1634-478: A relatively high absorbance at the red end of the spectrum, effectively increasing the CCT of the incandescent lamp to daylight levels. This is similar in function to a CTB color gel that photographers and cinematographers use today, albeit much less convenient. Each filter uses a pair of solutions, comprising specific amounts of distilled water, copper sulfate , mannite , pyridine , sulfuric acid , cobalt , and ammonium sulfate . The solutions are separated by

1720-413: A representative of noon sunlight, with a correlated color temperature (CCT) of 4874 K, while C represented average day light with a CCT of 6774 K. Unfortunately, they are poor approximations of any phase of natural daylight, particularly in the short-wave visible and in the ultraviolet spectral ranges. Once more realistic simulations were achievable, illuminants B and C were deprecated in favor of

1806-513: A sheet of uncolored glass. The amounts of the ingredients are carefully chosen so that their combination yields a color temperature conversion filter; that is, the filtered light is still white. The D series of illuminants are designed to represent natural daylight and lie along the daylight locus. They are difficult to produce artificially, but are easy to characterize mathematically. By 1964, several spectral power distributions (SPDs) of daylight had been measured independently by H. W. Budde of

1892-495: A simple, quadratic relation, later known as the daylight locus: Characteristic vector analysis revealed that the SPDs could be satisfactorily approximated by using the mean (S 0 ) and first two characteristic vectors (S 1 and S 2 ): In simpler terms, the SPD of the studied daylight samples can be expressed as the linear combination of three, fixed SPDs. The first vector (S 0 )

1978-428: A small discontinuity in the curve. Some authors adopted these incorrect values, in part because the draft paper was freely available and the official IEC standard is behind a paywall. For the standard, the rounded value of Φ was kept and X was recomputed as 0.04045 to make the curve continuous, resulting in a slope discontinuity from 1/12.92 below the intersection to 1/12.70 above. The sRGB specification assumes

2064-505: A wider gamut. Such images used on the Internet may be converted to sRGB using color management tools that are usually included with software that works in these other color spaces. The two dominant programming interfaces for 3D graphics, OpenGL and Direct3D , have both incorporated support for the sRGB gamma curve. OpenGL supports textures with sRGB gamma encoded color components (first introduced with EXT_texture_sRGB extension, added to

2150-623: A zero at 560 nm , since all the relative SPDs have been normalized about this point. In order to match all significant digits of the published data of the canonical illuminants the values of M 1 and M 2 have to be rounded to three decimal places before calculation of S D . Using the standard 2° observer , the CIE 1931 color space chromaticity coordinates of D65 are x = 0.31272 y = 0.32903 {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}x&=0.31272\\y&=0.32903\end{aligned}}} and

2236-401: Is y = x Φ {\displaystyle y={\frac {x}{\Phi }}} , and a gamma curve that passes through (1,1) is y = ( x + A 1 + A ) Γ {\displaystyle y=\left({\frac {x+A}{1+A}}\right)^{\Gamma }} If these are joined at the point ( X , X /Φ) then: To avoid a kink where

2322-458: Is BT.709-6 released in 2015. BT.709-6 defines the picture characteristics as having a ( widescreen ) aspect ratio of 16:9, 1080 active lines per picture, 1920 samples per line, and a square pixel aspect ratio. The first version of the standard was approved by the CCIR as Rec.709 in 1990 (there was also CCIR Rec. XA/11 MOD F in 1989), with the stated goal of a worldwide HDTV standard. The ITU superseded

2408-411: Is about 1.2 and it has been deliberately designed to provide compensation for the dim surround effect. Rec. 709 and sRGB share the same primary chromaticities and white point chromaticity; however, sRGB is explicitly output (display) referred with an equivalent gamma of 2.2 (the actual function is also piecewise to avoid near black issues). Display P3 uses sRGB EOTF with its linear segment,

2494-888: Is adjusted so that the final picture has the desired aesthetic look, as viewed on a reference monitor with a gamma of 2.4 (per ITU-R BT.1886 ) in a dim reference viewing environment (per ITU-R Rec. BT.2035 it is 10 lux of D 65 or D 93 in Japan). Rec. 709 inverse OETF describes the conversion of the non-linear electrical signal value into the linear scene luminance. It is as follows: L = { V 4.5 V < 0.081 ( V + 0.099 1.099 ) 1 0.45 V ≥ 0.081 {\displaystyle L={\begin{cases}{\dfrac {V}{4.5}}&V<0.081\\\left({\dfrac {V+0.099}{1.099}}\right)^{\frac {1}{0.45}}&V\geq 0.081\end{cases}}} The display EOTF of HDTV (sometimes referred as

2580-450: Is also used by scRGB . The amendment also recommends a higher-precision XYZ to sRGB matrix using seven decimal points , to more accurately invert the sRGB to XYZ matrix (which remains at the precision shown above): Rec. 709 Rec. 709 , also known as Rec.709 , BT.709 , and ITU 709 , is a standard developed by ITU-R for image encoding and signal characteristics of high-definition television . The most recent version

2666-493: Is applied in post production. In cases where a progressive captured image is distributed in segmented frame mode, segment/field frequency must be twice the frame rate. Thus 30/PsF has the same field rate as 60/I. Note that red and blue and y G are the same as the EBU Tech 3213 (PAL) primaries while the x G is halfway between EBU Tech 3213's x G and SMPTE C 's x G (PAL and NTSC are two types of BT.601-6 ).

2838-415: Is intended to represent typical, domestic, tungsten-filament lighting. Its relative spectral power distribution is that of a Planckian radiator at a temperature of approximately 2856 K. CIE standard illuminant A should be used in all applications of colorimetry involving the use of incandescent lighting, unless there are specific reasons for using a different illuminant. The spectral radiant exitance of

2924-433: Is mapped to -384 ⁄ 510 ... 639 ⁄ 510 , and bg-sYCC using the same number of bits for a range of approximately -0.75–1.25 for Y; -1–1 for C. As this conversion can result in sRGB values outside the range 0–1, the amendment describes how to apply the gamma correction to negative values, by applying − f (− x ) when x is negative (and f is the sRGB↔linear functions described above). This

3010-399: Is not possible to represent colors outside this triangle. The primaries come from HDTV ( ITU-R BT.709 ), which are somewhat different from those for older color TV systems ( ITU-R BT.601 ). These values were chosen to reflect the approximate color of consumer CRT phosphors at the time of its design. Since flat-panel displays at the time were generally designed to emulate CRT characteristics,

3096-460: Is of particular interest since it was used for calibrating the CIE color rendering index (the CRI formula was chosen such that F4 would have a CRI of 51). F7–F9 are "broadband" ( full-spectrum light ) fluorescent lamps with multiple phosphors, and higher CRIs. Finally, F10–F12 are narrow triband illuminants consisting of three "narrowband" emissions (caused by ternary compositions of rare-earth phosphors) in

3182-402: Is the mean of all the SPD samples, which is the best reconstituted SPD that can be formed with only a fixed vector. The second vector (S 1 ) corresponds to yellow–blue variation (along the locus), accounting for changes in the correlated color temperature due to proportion of indirect to direct sunlight. The third vector (S 2 ) corresponds to pink–green variation (across the locus) caused by

3268-412: Is to go back to original film elements for projects that originated on film. Due to the legacy issues of international distribution, many television programs that shot on film used a traditional negative cutting process, and then had a single film master that could be telecined for different formats. These projects can re- telecine their cut negative masters to a BT.709 master at a reasonable cost, and gain

3354-478: Is usually true but some color spaces use 100 or other values (such as in CIELAB , when using specified white points). The first step in the calculation of sRGB from CIE XYZ is a linear transformation, which may be carried out by a matrix multiplication. (The numerical values below match those in the official sRGB specification, which corrected small rounding errors in the original publication by sRGB's creators, and assume

It also covers 33.24% of CIE 1976 u’v’ and 33.5% of CIE 1931 xy. White point is D 65 as specified in 2° standard observer .

The gamut of chromaticities that can be represented in sRGB is the color triangle defined by these primaries, which are set such that the range of colors inside the triangle is well within the range of colors visible to a human with normal trichromatic vision. As with any RGB color space , for non-negative values of R, G, and B it

3784-407: The default (or only available) working color space. However, consumer-level CCDs are typically uncalibrated, meaning that even though the image is being labeled as sRGB, one can not conclude that the image is color-accurate sRGB. If the color space of an image is unknown and it is an 8 bit image format, sRGB is usually the assumed default, in part because color spaces with a larger gamut need

3870-475: The linear scene light into a non-linear electrical signal value. Rec. 709 doesn't specify the display EOTF ( electro-optical transfer function ) which describes how HDTV displays should convert the non-linear electrical signal into linear displayed light, that was done in ITU-R BT.1886 . See ITU-R BT.2087 for a detailed description of the options for color conversion from Rec. 709 to Rec. 2020 . Rec. 709 OETF

3956-461: The visible spectrum . It is useful as a theoretical reference; an illuminant that gives equal weight to all wavelengths. It also has equal CIE XYZ tristimulus values, thus its chromaticity coordinates are (x,y)=(1/3,1/3). This is by design; the XYZ color matching functions are normalized such that their integrals over the visible spectrum are the same. Illuminant E is not a black body, so it does not have

4042-476: The "display gamma"), is not the inverse of the camera OETF. The EOTF is not specified in Rec. 709. It is discussed in EBU Tech 3320 and specified in ITU-R BT.1886 as an equivalent gamma of 2.4, that is deviating from it in black region depending on how deep the black is. This is a higher gamma than the approximately gamma 2.0 of Rec. 709 OETF. The resulting end-to-end system gamma ( OOTF ) of HD television system

4128-441: The 0 to 1 range. This clipping can be done before or after the gamma calculation, or done as part of converting to 8 bits. If values in the range 0 to 255 are required, e.g. for video display or 8-bit graphics, the usual technique is to multiply by 255 and round to an integer. Due to the standardization of sRGB on the Internet, on computers, and on printers, many low- to medium-end consumer digital cameras and scanners use sRGB as

4214-545: The 2° standard colorimetric observer for CIE XYZ.) This matrix depends on the bitdepth. These linear RGB values are not the final result; gamma correction must still be applied. The following formula transforms the linear values into sRGB: where C {\displaystyle C} is R {\displaystyle R} , G {\displaystyle G} , or B {\displaystyle B} . These gamma-compressed values (sometimes called "non-linear values") are usually clipped to

4300-540: The 8-bit encoding, to ease the conversion it uses simple padding for reference values, for example 240 is just padded by two trailing zeroes and gives 960 for 10 bit maximum chroma. Rec. 709's nominal ranges are the same as those defined in ITU Rec. 601 . Conversion between different standards of video frame rates and color encoding has always been a challenge for content producers distributing through regions with different standards and requirements. While BT.709 has eased

4386-568: The CCIR in 1992, and subsequently released BT.709-1 in November 1993. These early versions still left many unanswered questions, and the lack of consensus toward a worldwide HDTV standard was evident. So much so, some early HDTV systems such as 1035i30 and 1152i25 were still a part of the standard as late as 2002 in BT.709-5. The standard is freely available at the ITU website , and that document should be used as

4472-540: The CIE today are derived by linear interpolation of the 10 nm data set down to 5 nm . However, there is a proposal to use spline interpolation instead. Similar studies have been undertaken in other parts of the world, or repeating Judd et al.' s analysis with modern computational methods. In several of these studies, the daylight locus is notably closer to the Planckian locus than in Judd et al. The CIE positions D65 as

Illuminant C does not have the status of CIE standard illuminants but its relative spectral power distribution, tristimulus values and chromaticity coordinates are given in Table T.1 and Table T.3, as many practical measurement instruments and calculations still use this illuminant. Illuminant B was not so honored in 2004. The liquid filters, designed by Raymond Davis and Kasson S. Gibson in 1931, have

The characteristic vectors both have

4730-411: The ICC profile specification does not officially support piecewise parametric curve encoding ("para"), though version 2 does support simple power-law functions. Nevertheless, lookup tables are more commonly used as they are computationally more efficient. Even when parametric curves are used, software will often reduce to a run-time lookup table for efficient processing. As the sRGB gamut meets or exceeds

Publication 15:2018 introduces new illuminants for different white LED types with CCTs ranging from approx. 2700 K to 6600 K. LED-B1 through B5 defines LEDs with phosphor-converted blue light. LED-BH1 defines a blend of phosphor-converted blue and

Better sources were achieved in the 2010s with phosphor-coated white LEDs that can easily emulate the A, D, and E illuminants with high CRI. Illuminant E is an equal-energy radiator; it has a constant SPD inside

Recommendation ITU-R BT.709-6 defines a common image format (CIF) where picture characteristics are independent of the frame rate. The image is 1920x1080 pixels, for a total pixel count of 2,073,600. Previous versions of BT.709 included legacy systems such as 1035i30 and 1152i25 HDTV systems. These are now obsolete, and replaced by

5074-409: The benefit of the full resolution of film. On the other hand for projects that originated on film, but completed their online master using video online methods would need to re-telecine the individual needed film takes and then re-assemble, a significantly greater amount of labor and machine time is required in this case, versus a telecine for a conformed negative. In this case, to enjoy the benefits of

Note that the CCTs of the canonical illuminants, D 50 , D 55 , D 65 , and D 75 , differ slightly from what their names suggest. For example, D50 has a CCT of 5003 K ("horizon" light), while D65 has a CCT of 6504 K (noon light). This is because the value of the constants in Planck's law have been slightly changed since

5848-463: The estimate of c 2 was revised from 0.01438 m·K to 0.014388 m·K (and before that, it was 0.01435 m·K when illuminant A was standardized). This difference shifted the Planckian locus , changing the color temperature of the illuminant from its nominal 2848 K to 2856 K: In order to avoid further possible changes in the color temperature, the CIE now specifies the SPD directly, based on

5934-405: The film original would entail much higher costs to conform the film originals to a new HD master. sRGB was created after the early development of Rec.709. The creators of sRGB chose to use the same primaries and white point as Rec.709, but changed the tone response curve (sometimes referred to as gamma ) to better suit the intended use in offices and brighter conditions than television viewing in

6020-554: The gamut of a low-end inkjet printer , an sRGB image is often regarded as satisfactory for home printing. sRGB is sometimes avoided by high-end print publishing professionals because its color gamut is not big enough, especially in the blue-green colors, to include all the colors that can be reproduced in CMYK printing. Images intended for professional printing via a fully color-managed workflow (e.g. prepress output) sometimes use another color space such as Adobe RGB (1998) , which accommodates

6106-561: The inter-field motion and deinterlace , creating progressive frames. In the latter case, motion processing can introduce artifacts and can be slow to process. Second is the issue of accommodating the SD 4:3 aspect ratio into the HD 16:9 frame. Cropping the top and/or bottom of the standard-definition frame may or may not work, depending on if the composition allows it and if there are graphics or titles that would be cut off. Alternately, pillar-boxing can show

6192-417: The older illuminants. For the relatively newer ones (such as series D), experimenters are left to measure to profiles of their sources and compare them to the published spectra: At present no artificial source is recommended to realize CIE standard illuminant D65 or any other illuminant D of different CCT. It is hoped that new developments in light sources and filters will eventually offer sufficient basis for

6278-424: The original (1931) value of c 2 : The coefficients have been selected to achieve a normalized SPD of 100 at 560 nm . The tristimulus values are ( X , Y , Z ) = (109.85, 100.00, 35.58) , and the chromaticity coordinates using the standard observer are ( x , y ) = (0.44758, 0.40745) . Illuminants B and C are easily achieved daylight simulations. They modify illuminant A by using liquid filters. B served as

6364-547: The presence of water in the form of vapor and haze. By the time the D-series was formalized by the CIE, a computation of the chromaticity ( x , y ) {\displaystyle (x,y)} for a particular isotherm was included. Judd et al. then extended the reconstituted SPDs to 300 nm – 330 nm and 700 nm – 830 nm by using Moon's spectral absorbance data of the Earth's atmosphere. The tabulated SPDs presented by

6450-534: The range 0 to 1. When represented digitally as 8-bit numbers, these color component values are in the range of 0 to 255, and should be divided (in a floating point representation) by 255 to convert to the range of 0 to 1. where C {\displaystyle C} is R {\displaystyle R} , G {\displaystyle G} , or B {\displaystyle B} . These gamma-expanded values (sometimes called "linear values" or "linear-light values") are multiplied by

6536-699: The same as BT.709, with a change in the green primary. Converting the image precisely requires a LUT (lookup table) or a color managed workflow to convert the colors to the new colorspace. However in practice this is often ignored, except in mpv, because even if the player is color managed (most of them are not, including VLC), it can see BT.709 or BT.2020 primaries only. When encoding Y’C B C R video, BT.709 creates gamma-encoded luma ( Y’ ) using matrix coefficients 0.2126, 0.7152, and 0.0722 (together they add to 1). BT.709-1 used slightly different 0.2125, 0.7154, 0.0721 (changed to standard ones in BT.709-2). Although worldwide agreement on a single R’G’B’ system

6622-430: The standard daylight illuminant: [D65] is intended to represent average daylight and has a correlated colour temperature of approximately 6500 K. CIE standard illuminant D65 should be used in all colorimetric calculations requiring representative daylight, unless there are specific reasons for using a different illuminant. Variations in the relative spectral power distribution of daylight are known to occur, particularly in

6708-501: The standard, or with the inverse of the OETF. Some display manufacturers and calibrators use the former, while some use the latter. When a power law γ 2.2 {\displaystyle \gamma ^{2.2}} is used to display data that was intended to be displayed on displays that use the piecewise function, the result is that the shadow details will be "crushed" towards hard black. A straight line that passes through (0,0)

6794-423: The system defined in the 2015 ITU BT.709-6. BT.709 offers over a variety of frame rates and scanning schemes, which along with separating the picture size from frame rate has provided the flexibility for BT.709 to become the worldwide standard for HDTV. This allows manufacturers to create a single television set or display for all markets world-wide. BT.709-6 specifies the following frame rates, where P indicates

6880-492: The two segments meet, the derivatives must be equal at this point: We now have two equations. If we take the two unknowns to be X and Φ then we can solve to give The values A = 0.055 and Γ = 2.4 were chosen so the curve closely resembled the gamma-2.2 curve. This gives X ≈ 0.0392857, Φ ≈ 12.9232102 . These values, rounded to X = 0.03928, Φ = 12.92321 sometimes describe sRGB conversion. Draft publications by sRGB's creators further rounded Φ = 12.92 , resulting in

6966-461: The ultraviolet spectral region, as a function of season, time of day, and geographic location. The relative spectral power distribution (SPD) S D ( λ ) {\displaystyle S_{D}(\lambda )} of a D series illuminant can be derived from its chromaticity coordinates in the CIE 1931 color space , ( x D , y D ) {\displaystyle (x_{D},y_{D})} . First,

7052-460: The values also reflected prevailing practice for other display devices as well. The reference display characterisation is based on the characterisation in CIE 122. The reference display is characterised by a nominal power-law gamma of 2.2, which the sRGB working group determined was representative of the CRTs used with Windows operating systems at the time. The ability to directly display sRGB images on

7138-561: The well-known standard illuminants. Each of these is known by a letter or by a letter-number combination. Illuminants A, B, and C were introduced in 1931, with the intention of respectively representing average incandescent light, direct sunlight, and average daylight. Illuminants D (1967) represent variations of daylight, illuminant E is the equal-energy illuminant, while illuminants F (2004) represent fluorescent lamps of various composition. There are instructions on how to experimentally produce light sources ("standard sources") corresponding to

7224-404: The white point discards a great deal of information about the profile of the illuminant, and so although it is true that for every illuminant the exact white point can be calculated, it is not the case that knowing the white point of an image alone tells you a great deal about the illuminant that was used to record it. A list of standardized illuminants, their CIE chromaticity coordinates (x,y) of

7310-450: Was achieved with Rec. 709, adoption of different luma coefficients (as those are derived from primaries and white point ) for Y’C B C R requires the use of different luma-chroma decoding for standard definition and high definition. These problems can be handled with video processing software which can be slow, or hardware solutions which allow for realtime conversion, and often with quality improvements. A more ideal solution

7396-441: Was invented and a gamma of 0.45 has been used for the power segment. Old CRTs had a EOTF of around 2.35 pure gamma and thus the corresponding correction of 709 OETF to get EOTF linear image (if the 1.2 end-to-end gamma is assumed) was a pure gamma of 1.2 / 2.35 = 0.51 = 1/1.9608. It was used in such way by Apple until Display P3 devices came into existence. In typical production practice the encoding function of image sources (OETF)
