10Colorspace SMPTE 170M (V4L2_COLORSPACE_SMPTE170M)
11=================================================
12
13The :ref:`smpte170m` standard defines the colorspace used by NTSC and
14PAL and by SDTV in general. The default transfer function is
15``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is
16``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited
17range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference
18are:

46The red, green and blue chromaticities are also often referred to as the
47SMPTE C set, so this colorspace is sometimes called SMPTE C as well.
48
49The transfer function defined for SMPTE 170M is the same as the one
50defined in Rec. 709.
51
52.. math::
53
54    L' = -1.099(-L)^{0.45} + 0.099 \text{, for } L \le-0.018
55
56    L' = 4.5L \text{, for } -0.018 < L < 0.018
57
58    L' = 1.099L^{0.45} - 0.099 \text{, for } L \ge 0.018
59
60Inverse Transfer function:
61
62.. math::
63
64    L = -\left( \frac{L' - 0.099}{-1.099} \right) ^{\frac{1}{0.45}} \text{, for } L' \le -0.081

69
70The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with
71the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding:
72
73.. math::
74
75    Y' = 0.2990R' + 0.5870G' + 0.1140B'
76
77    Cb = -0.1687R' - 0.3313G' + 0.5B'
78
79    Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4187G' - 0.0813B'
80
81Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range
82[-0.5…0.5]. This conversion to Y'CbCr is identical to the one defined in
83the :ref:`itu601` standard and this colorspace is sometimes called
84BT.601 as well, even though BT.601 does not mention any color primaries.
85
86The default quantization is limited range, but full range is possible
87although rarely seen.

96general. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The
97default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709``. The default Y'CbCr

129Transfer function. Normally L is in the range [0…1], but for the
130extended gamut xvYCC encoding values outside that range are allowed.
131
132.. math::
133
134    L' = -1.099(-L)^{0.45} + 0.099 \text{, for } L \le -0.018
135
136    L' = 4.5L \text{, for } -0.018 < L < 0.018

138    L' = 1.099L^{0.45} - 0.099 \text{, for } L \ge 0.018

148    L = \left(\frac{L' + 0.099}{1.099}\right)^{\frac{1}{0.45} } \text{, for } L' \ge 0.081
149
150The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with
151the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709`` encoding:
152
153.. math::
154
155    Y' = 0.2126R' + 0.7152G' + 0.0722B'
156
157    Cb = -0.1146R' - 0.3854G' + 0.5B'
158
159    Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4542G' - 0.0458B'
160
161Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range
162[-0.5…0.5].
163
164The default quantization is limited range, but full range is possible
165although rarely seen.
166
167The ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709`` encoding described above is the default for
168this colorspace, but it can be overridden with ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``,
169in which case the BT.601 Y'CbCr encoding is used.
170
171Two additional extended gamut Y'CbCr encodings are also possible with
172this colorspace:
173
174The xvYCC 709 encoding (``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV709``, :ref:`xvycc`) is
175similar to the Rec. 709 encoding, but it allows for R', G' and B' values
176that are outside the range [0…1]. The resulting Y', Cb and Cr values are
177scaled and offset according to the limited range formula:
178
179.. math::
180
181    Y' = \frac{219}{256} * (0.2126R' + 0.7152G' + 0.0722B') + \frac{16}{256}
182
183    Cb = \frac{224}{256} * (-0.1146R' - 0.3854G' + 0.5B')
184
185    Cr = \frac{224}{256} * (0.5R' - 0.4542G' - 0.0458B')
186
187The xvYCC 601 encoding (``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601``, :ref:`xvycc`) is
188similar to the BT.601 encoding, but it allows for R', G' and B' values
189that are outside the range [0…1]. The resulting Y', Cb and Cr values are
190scaled and offset according to the limited range formula:
191
192.. math::
193
194    Y' = \frac{219}{256} * (0.2990R' + 0.5870G' + 0.1140B') + \frac{16}{256}
195
196    Cb = \frac{224}{256} * (-0.1687R' - 0.3313G' + 0.5B')
197
198    Cr = \frac{224}{256} * (0.5R' - 0.4187G' - 0.0813B')
199
200Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range
201[-0.5…0.5] and quantized without further scaling or offsets.
202The non-standard xvYCC 709 or xvYCC 601 encodings can be
203used by selecting ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV709`` or ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601``.
204As seen by the xvYCC formulas these encodings always use limited range quantization,
205there is no full range variant. The whole point of these extended gamut encodings
206is that values outside the limited range are still valid, although they
207map to R', G' and B' values outside the [0…1] range and are therefore outside
208the Rec. 709 colorspace gamut.
209
210
211.. _col-srgb:
212
213Colorspace sRGB (V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB)
214======================================
215
216The :ref:`srgb` standard defines the colorspace used by most webcams
217and computer graphics. The default transfer function is
218``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SRGB``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is
219``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range.
220
221Note that the :ref:`sycc` standard specifies full range quantization,
222however all current capture hardware supported by the kernel convert
223R'G'B' to limited range Y'CbCr. So choosing full range as the default
224would break how applications interpret the quantization range.

257Y'CbCr conversion.

262

264
265    L' = 1.055L ^{\frac{1}{2.4} } - 0.055\text{, for }0.0031308 < L \le 1

274
275    L = ((L' + 0.055) / 1.055) ^{2.4}\text{, for }L' > 0.04045
276
277The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with
278the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding as defined by :ref:`sycc`:
279
280.. math::
281
282    Y' = 0.2990R' + 0.5870G' + 0.1140B'
283
284    Cb = -0.1687R' - 0.3313G' + 0.5B'
285
286    Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4187G' - 0.0813B'
287
288Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range
289[-0.5…0.5]. This transform is identical to one defined in SMPTE
290170M/BT.601. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range.

293.. _col-oprgb:
294
295Colorspace opRGB (V4L2_COLORSPACE_OPRGB)
296===============================================
297
298The :ref:`oprgb` standard defines the colorspace used by computer
299graphics that use the opRGB colorspace. The default transfer function is
300``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_OPRGB``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is
301``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited
302range.
303

418
419Please note that while Rec. 709 is defined as the default transfer function
420by the :ref:`itu2020` standard, in practice this colorspace is often used
421with the :ref:`xf-smpte-2084`. In particular Ultra HD Blu-ray discs use
422this combination.
423
424The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with

435Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range
436[-0.5…0.5]. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range.

464Colorspace DCI-P3 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_DCI_P3)
465==========================================
466
467The :ref:`smpte431` standard defines the colorspace used by cinema
468projectors that use the DCI-P3 colorspace. The default transfer function
469is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_DCI_P3``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is
470``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range.
471
472.. note::
473
474   Note that this colorspace standard does not specify a
475   Y'CbCr encoding since it is not meant to be encoded to Y'CbCr. So this
476   default Y'CbCr encoding was picked because it is the HDTV encoding.

756.. note::
757
758   The JPEG standard does not actually store colorspace
759   information. So if something other than sRGB is used, then the driver
760   will have to set that information explicitly. Effectively
761   ``V4L2_COLORSPACE_JPEG`` can be considered to be an abbreviation for
762   ``V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB``, ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SRGB``, ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``
763   and ``V4L2_QUANTIZATION_FULL_RANGE``.

771Transfer Function SMPTE 2084 (V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SMPTE2084)
772=======================================================
773
774The :ref:`smpte2084` standard defines the transfer function used by
775High Dynamic Range content.
776
777Constants:
778    m1 = (2610 / 4096) / 4
779
780    m2 = (2523 / 4096) * 128
781
782    c1 = 3424 / 4096
783
784    c2 = (2413 / 4096) * 32
785
786    c3 = (2392 / 4096) * 32
787
788Transfer function:
789    L' = ((c1 + c2 * L\ :sup:`m1`) / (1 + c3 * L\ :sup:`m1`))\ :sup:`m2`
790
791Inverse Transfer function:
792    L = (max(L':sup:`1/m2` - c1, 0) / (c2 - c3 *
793    L'\ :sup:`1/m2`))\ :sup:`1/m1`
794
795Take care when converting between this transfer function and non-HDR transfer
796functions: the linear RGB values [0…1] of HDR content map to a luminance range
797of 0 to 10000 cd/m\ :sup:`2` whereas the linear RGB values of non-HDR (aka
798Standard Dynamic Range or SDR) map to a luminance range of 0 to 100 cd/m\ :sup:`2`.
799
800To go from SDR to HDR you will have to divide L by 100 first. To go in the other
801direction you will have to multiply L by 100. Of course, this clamps all
802luminance values over 100 cd/m\ :sup:`2` to 100 cd/m\ :sup:`2`.
803
804There are better methods, see e.g. :ref:`colimg` for more in-depth information
805about this.
