This document provides guidelines on the encoding of the color information for the Digital Cinema DistributionMaster (DCDM) and for the decoding of the color signal in the projector. A series of standards andrecommended practices define exactly what to do to encode and decode the color for digital cinema. Thisdocument leads the user through all of those documents so that an image, once created, will both match thecreator’s intent and will be displayed as the same image in every theatre within the recommendations of thesedocuments. In addition to the guidelines on how to do the color encoding and color processing, this documentwill give some historical background on the development of the color encoding. In order to make thisdocument more readable, the historical information will be put in a series of annexes after the guidelines.Therefore, this document describes the color transformations required for encoding an image into the DCDMX’Y’ code values in mastering and the reciprocal process of decoding these code values in the exhibitionprojector. Because the appearance of any color patch is dependent on the viewing conditions under which thecolor patch is seen, this document will also describe how the contents of the standards and recommendedpractices relating to the display of images using digital projection relate to the color encoding and decoding.The purpose of this guideline is to show how to use all of the Digital Cinema color-related documents in orderto achieve the objectives of interoperability and color consistency.
