The wide-ranging topic of video colour is the focus of CEDIA’s final instalment of a three-part, video-centre white paper series which has just been released.

‘The Integrator’s Guide to Video: Colorimetry’ is an update of the 2017 white paper, providing background background on cinematic colour and exploring topics such as colour perception, colour gamut, colour space, chroma sub-sampling, colour bit depth, high dynamic range, and calibration.

It follows on from the release of ‘The Integrator’s Guide to Video: Resolution’ in January and the November 2018 debut of ‘An Integrator’s Guide to HDR Video’.

CEDIA director of technical research David Meyer says that understanding the full scope of colorimetry, from the creator’s vision to its final presentation, can be hard to digest.

“A truly immersive experience demands integrators grasp the art and science of colorimetry and this white paper will help break down complex concepts so CEDIA pros can continue to deliver the best results for their customers.”

Senior director of technology and standards Walt Zerbe says that colorimetry creates a variety of challenges for technology integration professionals.

“One of the main goals of ‘The Integrator’s Guide to Video’ series is to demystify concepts concepts that can be confusing because change is so rapid. With new display types, standards, and technological advances emerging all the time, we’re proud to provide a refreshed look at colorimetry.”

The white paper release emphasises CEDIA’s focus on driving the industry forward through education, workforce development and setting globally-recognised standards.

CEDIA members can download a complimentary copy of the new white paper through the CEDIA Resource Catalogue. It is available to non members for $99.
