No, common mistake created by marketing.

Both current HDTV (rec 709) and xvYCC are 8 bit systems.§The color gamut for 
HDTV, of each Red, Green and Blue colors is designed within BT.709 standard for 
16 to 236 level systems or 220 quantization levels. 16 to 236 is a legacy issue 
for component YCrCb.A fullydigital interface, such as HDMI, is capable of a 
full 0 to 255 performance without increasing the 8 bitsper color 
specification.The xvYCC is a new color gamut standard that uses the fullrange 
of values from 0 to 255 or 256 quantizatiuon levels in an 8-bit space to 
represent colors.I included a picture of color space comparison.

Deep color increases bit dpth from 24 bits per pixel (8 bit per color) to 36 
bits ( 12 bit per color). Either 709 or xvYCC can be used with deep color. 
Perhaps "deep color" is missleading. It should be called probaly "accurate or 
deep gray" or something.

Wait a minute!

I thought xvYCC WAS "deep color" and currently comes in three flavors:
8-bit (24-bit RGB), 12-bit (36-bit RGB) and 16-bit (48-bit RGB), with the last 
one offering 281,474,976,710,656 possible colors.
Also, it was my understanding that the first "deep color" device was not a 
BluRay player but the Sony PlayStation 3.

Am I wrong??

transition or any guards against xvYCC to 709 miss-conversion... It seems xvYCC 
as well Deep Color and Dolby Tru HD features of HDMI 1.3 may only be 
implemented in Blu Ray and only be displayed on devices that are capable. For 
the rest of the media distribution infrstratute it is mission impossible. Even 
in Schubin's Super High Quality digital theater system it is not happening...

But, how bad does it look when content is encoded xvYCC and the display (or 
something else in the signal chain) clips negative RGB coefficients to Rec 709 
gamut?
I?m struggling with that chicken/egg problem for Internet delivered content. It 
might be possible to write new rules for a new channel and new devices, but if 
those files land on legacy devices or plug into legacy displays resulting in 
people have green faces ? I don?t see a bridge to transition from a 709 to 
xvYCC world of content and devices. Well, if all render devices recognized 
xvYCC content and displays, and could convert to 709 output if xvYCC isn?t 
supported, then it would work ? but requiring that of all devices (which 
eliminates most existing devices) isn?t likely.

We transmit based on Rec. 709 (HD color space). Digital-cinema theaters may 
transcode to whatever works best for them.

format is in use for display of Mark Schubin events. Have these events utilize 
the xvYCC color space or HDTV color space?

1080p60 in a theater setting is useful for live Pay Per View events. John -----

2:04 PM Subject: [opendtv] Re: 1080P Question In that case I see a motion 
problem. If original film is captured with 24 frames/sec and converted to 
1080p/60 frames/sec for display - the motion will have 2 /3 pull down type of 
motion jitter. On the other hand 24 frames/sec film displayed at 72 Hz or 96 Hz 
will not have such problems. So what is the point to display 1080p/60 in the 
movie theater? Best Regards, Mike Tsinberg Key Digital Systems Cell:
