Wide color gamut and HDR
Intro to wide color gamut and HDR in Compressor
No image device is capable of capturing and reproducing the full spectrum of colors and
levels of brightness visible to the human eye. Consequently, image devices record, edit,
display, or output a subset of those colors and luminances. This range of reproducible
color is known as the device’s color space or color gamut. See HDR and Wide Color Gamut
in Final Cut Pro.
Standard-gamut versus wide-gamut color
Traditional computer monitors and HDTVs support a limited color space that’s based on a
decades-old industry standard called Rec. 709. Rec. 709 devices (and the video content
created for display on them) have standard-gamut color, the constrained color palette you
see whenever you view a broadcast HDTV show, DVD, or Blu-ray disc.
A more recent generation of displays—including 4K televisions and computer displays,
newer Mac, iOS, and iPadOS devices, and Apple TV 4K—can render a much wider palette
of colors. These wide-gamut color devices display hues that are more vivid and lifelike
(in addition to all the hues that standard-gamut devices can display). Accordingly, the
video industry has adopted a wide-gamut color standard called Rec. 2020. Although most
currently available wide-gamut devices support only a subset of the colors contained in
the full Rec. 2020 specification, future imaging devices should be able to render more and
more of those hues.
