The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: SMPTE 170M Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.630 - 0.340 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.310 - 0.595 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.155 - 0.070 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 The red, green and blue chromaticities are also often referred to as the SMPTE C set, so this colorspace is sometimes called SMPTE C as well. The transfer function defined for SMPTE 170M is the same as the one defined in Rec. 709. L' = -1.099(-L) :sup:`0.45` + 0.099 for L ≤ -0.018 L' = 4.5L for -0.018 < L < 0.018 L' = 1.099L :sup:`0.45` - 0.099 for L ≥ 0.018 Inverse Transfer function: L = -((L' - 0.099) / -1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≤ -0.081 L = L' / 4.5 for -0.081 < L' < 0.081 L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.081 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding: Y' = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' Cb = -0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. This conversion to Y'CbCr is identical to the one defined in the :ref:`itu601` standard and this colorspace is sometimes called BT.601 as well, even though BT.601 does not mention any color primaries. The default quantization is limited range, but full range is possible although rarely seen. .. _col-rec709: Colorspace Rec. 709 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_REC709) ============================================ The :ref:`itu709` standard defines the colorspace used by HDTV in general. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: Rec. 709 Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.640 - 0.330 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.300 - 0.600 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.150 - 0.060 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 The full name of this standard is Rec. ITU-R BT.709-5. Transfer function. Normally L is in the range [0…1], but for the extended gamut xvYCC encoding values outside that range are allowed. L' = -1.099(-L) :sup:`0.45` + 0.099 for L ≤ -0.018 L' = 4.5L for -0.018 < L < 0.018 L' = 1.099L :sup:`0.45` - 0.099 for L ≥ 0.018 Inverse Transfer function: L = -((L' - 0.099) / -1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≤ -0.081 L = L' / 4.5 for -0.081 < L' < 0.081 L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.081 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709`` encoding: Y' = 0.2126R' + 0.7152G' + 0.0722B' Cb = -0.1146R' - 0.3854G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4542G' - 0.0458B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The default quantization is limited range, but full range is possible although rarely seen. The ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709`` encoding described above is the default for this colorspace, but it can be overridden with ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``, in which case the BT.601 Y'CbCr encoding is used. Two additional extended gamut Y'CbCr encodings are also possible with this colorspace: The xvYCC 709 encoding (``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV709``, :ref:`xvycc`) is similar to the Rec. 709 encoding, but it allows for R', G' and B' values that are outside the range [0…1]. The resulting Y', Cb and Cr values are scaled and offset: Y' = (219 / 256) * (0.2126R' + 0.7152G' + 0.0722B') + (16 / 256) Cb = (224 / 256) * (-0.1146R' - 0.3854G' + 0.5B') Cr = (224 / 256) * (0.5R' - 0.4542G' - 0.0458B') The xvYCC 601 encoding (``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601``, :ref:`xvycc`) is similar to the BT.601 encoding, but it allows for R', G' and B' values that are outside the range [0…1]. The resulting Y', Cb and Cr values are scaled and offset: Y' = (219 / 256) * (0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B') + (16 / 256) Cb = (224 / 256) * (-0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B') Cr = (224 / 256) * (0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B') Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The non-standard xvYCC 709 or xvYCC 601 encodings can be used by selecting ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV709`` or ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601``. The xvYCC encodings always use full range quantization. .. _col-srgb: Colorspace sRGB (V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB) ====================================== The :ref:`srgb` standard defines the colorspace used by most webcams and computer graphics. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SRGB``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_SYCC``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is full range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: sRGB Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.640 - 0.330 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.300 - 0.600 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.150 - 0.060 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 These chromaticities are identical to the Rec. 709 colorspace. Transfer function. Note that negative values for L are only used by the Y'CbCr conversion. L' = -1.055(-L) :sup:`1/2.4` + 0.055 for L < -0.0031308 L' = 12.92L for -0.0031308 ≤ L ≤ 0.0031308 L' = 1.055L :sup:`1/2.4` - 0.055 for 0.0031308 < L ≤ 1 Inverse Transfer function: L = -((-L' + 0.055) / 1.055) :sup:`2.4` for L' < -0.04045 L = L' / 12.92 for -0.04045 ≤ L' ≤ 0.04045 L = ((L' + 0.055) / 1.055) :sup:`2.4` for L' > 0.04045 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_SYCC`` encoding as defined by :ref:`sycc`: Y' = 0.2990R' + 0.5870G' + 0.1140B' Cb = -0.1687R' - 0.3313G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4187G' - 0.0813B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_SYCC`` quantization is always full range. Although this Y'CbCr encoding looks very similar to the ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601`` encoding, it is not. The ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_XV601`` scales and offsets the Y'CbCr values before quantization, but this encoding does not do that. .. _col-adobergb: Colorspace Adobe RGB (V4L2_COLORSPACE_ADOBERGB) =============================================== The :ref:`adobergb` standard defines the colorspace used by computer graphics that use the AdobeRGB colorspace. This is also known as the :ref:`oprgb` standard. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_ADOBERGB``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: Adobe RGB Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.6400 - 0.3300 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.2100 - 0.7100 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.1500 - 0.0600 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 Transfer function: L' = L :sup:`1/2.19921875` Inverse Transfer function: L = L' :sup:`2.19921875` The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding: Y' = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' Cb = -0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. This transform is identical to one defined in SMPTE 170M/BT.601. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. .. _col-bt2020: Colorspace BT.2020 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_BT2020) =========================================== The :ref:`itu2020` standard defines the colorspace used by Ultra-high definition television (UHDTV). The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_BT2020``. The default R'G'B' quantization is limited range (!), and so is the default Y'CbCr quantization. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: BT.2020 Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.708 - 0.292 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.170 - 0.797 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.131 - 0.046 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 Transfer function (same as Rec. 709): L' = 4.5L for 0 ≤ L < 0.018 L' = 1.099L :sup:`0.45` - 0.099 for 0.018 ≤ L ≤ 1 Inverse Transfer function: L = L' / 4.5 for L' < 0.081 L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.081 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_BT2020`` encoding: Y' = 0.2627R' + 0.6780G' + 0.0593B' Cb = -0.1396R' - 0.3604G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4598G' - 0.0402B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. There is also an alternate constant luminance R'G'B' to Yc'CbcCrc (``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_BT2020_CONST_LUM``) encoding: Luma: Yc' = (0.2627R + 0.6780G + 0.0593B)' B' - Yc' ≤ 0: Cbc = (B' - Yc') / 1.9404 B' - Yc' > 0: Cbc = (B' - Yc') / 1.5816 R' - Yc' ≤ 0: Crc = (R' - Y') / 1.7184 R' - Yc' > 0: Crc = (R' - Y') / 0.9936 Yc' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cbc and Crc are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The Yc'CbcCrc quantization is limited range. .. _col-dcip3: Colorspace DCI-P3 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_DCI_P3) ========================================== The :ref:`smpte431` standard defines the colorspace used by cinema projectors that use the DCI-P3 colorspace. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_DCI_P3``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_709``. Note that this colorspace does not specify a Y'CbCr encoding since it is not meant to be encoded to Y'CbCr. So this default Y'CbCr encoding was picked because it is the HDTV encoding. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: DCI-P3 Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.6800 - 0.3200 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.2650 - 0.6900 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.1500 - 0.0600 - .. row 5 - White Reference - 0.3140 - 0.3510 Transfer function: L' = L :sup:`1/2.6` Inverse Transfer function: L = L' :sup:`2.6` Y'CbCr encoding is not specified. V4L2 defaults to Rec. 709. .. _col-smpte-240m: Colorspace SMPTE 240M (V4L2_COLORSPACE_SMPTE240M) ================================================= The :ref:`smpte240m` standard was an interim standard used during the early days of HDTV (1988-1998). It has been superseded by Rec. 709. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SMPTE240M``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_SMPTE240M``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: SMPTE 240M Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.630 - 0.340 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.310 - 0.595 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.155 - 0.070 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 These chromaticities are identical to the SMPTE 170M colorspace. Transfer function: L' = 4L for 0 ≤ L < 0.0228 L' = 1.1115L :sup:`0.45` - 0.1115 for 0.0228 ≤ L ≤ 1 Inverse Transfer function: L = L' / 4 for 0 ≤ L' < 0.0913 L = ((L' + 0.1115) / 1.1115) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.0913 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_SMPTE240M`` encoding: Y' = 0.2122R' + 0.7013G' + 0.0865B' Cb = -0.1161R' - 0.3839G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.4451G' - 0.0549B' Yc' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cbc and Crc are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. .. _col-sysm: Colorspace NTSC 1953 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_470_SYSTEM_M) =================================================== This standard defines the colorspace used by NTSC in 1953. In practice this colorspace is obsolete and SMPTE 170M should be used instead. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: NTSC 1953 Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.67 - 0.33 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.21 - 0.71 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.14 - 0.08 - .. row 5 - White Reference (C) - 0.310 - 0.316 Note that this colorspace uses Illuminant C instead of D65 as the white reference. To correctly convert an image in this colorspace to another that uses D65 you need to apply a chromatic adaptation algorithm such as the Bradford method. The transfer function was never properly defined for NTSC 1953. The Rec. 709 transfer function is recommended in the literature: L' = 4.5L for 0 ≤ L < 0.018 L' = 1.099L :sup:`0.45` - 0.099 for 0.018 ≤ L ≤ 1 Inverse Transfer function: L = L' / 4.5 for L' < 0.081 L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.081 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding: Y' = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' Cb = -0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. This transform is identical to one defined in SMPTE 170M/BT.601. .. _col-sysbg: Colorspace EBU Tech. 3213 (V4L2_COLORSPACE_470_SYSTEM_BG) ========================================================= The :ref:`tech3213` standard defines the colorspace used by PAL/SECAM in 1975. In practice this colorspace is obsolete and SMPTE 170M should be used instead. The default transfer function is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_709``. The default Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601``. The default Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are: .. flat-table:: EBU Tech. 3213 Chromaticities :header-rows: 1 :stub-columns: 0 :widths: 1 1 2 - .. row 1 - Color - x - y - .. row 2 - Red - 0.64 - 0.33 - .. row 3 - Green - 0.29 - 0.60 - .. row 4 - Blue - 0.15 - 0.06 - .. row 5 - White Reference (D65) - 0.3127 - 0.3290 The transfer function was never properly defined for this colorspace. The Rec. 709 transfer function is recommended in the literature: L' = 4.5L for 0 ≤ L < 0.018 L' = 1.099L :sup:`0.45` - 0.099 for 0.018 ≤ L ≤ 1 Inverse Transfer function: L = L' / 4.5 for L' < 0.081 L = ((L' + 0.099) / 1.099) :sup:`1/0.45` for L' ≥ 0.081 The luminance (Y') and color difference (Cb and Cr) are obtained with the following ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` encoding: Y' = 0.299R' + 0.587G' + 0.114B' Cb = -0.169R' - 0.331G' + 0.5B' Cr = 0.5R' - 0.419G' - 0.081B' Y' is clamped to the range [0…1] and Cb and Cr are clamped to the range [-0.5…0.5]. The Y'CbCr quantization is limited range. This transform is identical to one defined in SMPTE 170M/BT.601. .. _col-jpeg: Colorspace JPEG (V4L2_COLORSPACE_JPEG) ====================================== This colorspace defines the colorspace used by most (Motion-)JPEG formats. The chromaticities of the primary colors and the white reference are identical to sRGB. The transfer function use is ``V4L2_XFER_FUNC_SRGB``. The Y'CbCr encoding is ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` with full range quantization where Y' is scaled to [0…255] and Cb/Cr are scaled to [-128…128] and then clipped to [-128…127]. Note that the JPEG standard does not actually store colorspace information. So if something other than sRGB is used, then the driver will have to set that information explicitly. Effectively ``V4L2_COLORSPACE_JPEG`` can be considered to be an abbreviation for ``V4L2_COLORSPACE_SRGB``, ``V4L2_YCBCR_ENC_601`` and ``V4L2_QUANTIZATION_FULL_RANGE``.
