DCP-o-matic player - Color Space?

[wragge75]

Hello,

I have a question concerning the DCP-o-matic player.

Is this program managing color spaces?
When reading a DCP, is it converting the DCI space to a proper space for viewing on a computer screen (srgb or Rec709)?
Does it also manage gammas or does it keep the DCP gamma 2.6?

Thank you for your help!

I don't know the correct formula, but I guess it uses an X'Y'Z' to sRGB conversion with a 2.2 gamma. One could argue wether it should use BT.1886/gamma 2.4, but that depends on wether your intention is basic checking on a computer monitor, or playback in a (home) cinema environment. Maybe at some time Carl should make this a prefs option. But, so far the player is not meant for primetime presentation, although some use it that way already.

The player converts the colour space and gamma, so it should look approximately right on the computer screen. Though this is a rather complicated area, and the emphasis so far has been on speed rather than colour accuracy. Improving this is on the post-2.16.0 list.
