2-hour tutorial

Wide Gamut Imaging

The color gamut of digital imaging systems, in both the professional and consumer domains, has historically been limited by CRT technology and by the Rec. 709 and sRGB standards. Emergent display technologies (such as LED-backlit LCDs and laser- and LED-illuminated DLPs) are poised to enable wide-gamut color, and D-SLR cameras are already capable of wide-gamut capture. This seminar outlines the technological developments in capture, processing, and display technology that are leading to wide gamut color. Various wide-gamut encoding systems such as Adobe RGB, DCI P3 RGB, X'Y'Z', xvYCC, and wcsRGB are described in detail.

Benefits: This course will enable the attendee to:

Intended Audience: appropriate for technical professionals who are experienced in the engineering of color imaging systems. Many graphs, equations, and diagrams will be presented.

Presenter:

Charles Poynton is an independent contractor specializing in the physics, mathematics, and engineering of digital color imaging systems, including digital still cameras, digital video, HDTV, and digital cinema (D-cinema). He does technology forecasting, systems modeling, algorithm development (including digital filter design), video signal processing architecture, color characterization and calibration, and image quality assessment. He is involved in engineering wide color gamut (wide colour gamut) systems, including xvYCC.

Registration is between USD 150 and USD 225. For details, see the Color Imaging Conference Tutorials page.
