Right now, more or less the interest is on the RGB->YUV conversion side, coz till now BT 2020 gamut was not in picture. REC 601 and 709 have very close gamuts, so it was ok to blend frames mostly without bothering about gamut, but going fwd, ones REC 2020 comes into picture, we need to bother about mapping gamuts too, else blending Rec709 buffers and Rec2020 buffers together would cause very visible gamut mismatch. So considering futuristic developments, it might be ok to consider both. Still, as Ville mentioned, it would be good to hear from other too. - Shashank > > Best regards, > Liviu > >> -- >> Ville Syrjälä >> Intel OTC
