Additional Color Spaces
While RGB is still the dominant color
space in most video applications, other color models are gaining popularity,
particularly in digital still photography. Version 1.4 of the HDMI specification
adds support for three additional color spaces (also known as color
gamuts), enabling manufacturers to deliver better and more accurate
color to users when they view their digital photos on an HDTV. In addition
to RGB color and x.v.Color, the HDMI standard now offers native support
for three additional color spaces:
- sYCC601 color
- Adobe RGB color
- Adobe YCC601 color
Like x.v.Color, each of these color spaces
defines a palette of available colors that is larger than the traditional
RGB color model, and closer to the full range of colors perceptible
to the human eye.
How to Ensure Extended Color Support
in your Home Theater System
- Look for devices that feature
support for these additional color spaces.
- All HDMI cables will support
this functionality when connected to compliant devices. You can
use your existing HDMI cables or choose a different cable type. (more)
