[Tig] Wide Gamut displays

[Dave Corbitt]

Here's a topic I haven't heard much about on the TIG but it seems to be 
bouncing around all the various display websites. It will probably 
impact us a lot more than many are acknowledging at the moment.

Wide Gamut Colorimetry.

What's the take on the TIG of how this proposed broadening of our 
colorspace will affect workflow? If a wide gamut colorspace is adopted, 
will facilities remaster feature films for redistribution as "New And 
Improved" versions? How will wide gamut color be implemented in our 
industry? Does anyone know what the new colorspace will look like or 
how it will plot on a CIE chart? I suspect it will create a lot of 
chaos initially but if implemented correctly and across the board in a 
standardized way, will create some amazing color images the likes of 
which haven't been seen since the early days of three strip 
Technicolor.
Wide Gamut Colorspace is sometimes referred to as xvYCC colorspace. 
Look it up if you want to know more.
