Hi Shashank,

I think you might have degamma and color model conversion reversed, or
is that a new thing in the HDR specs?

Usually the YCbCr/RGB conversion matrix applies to non-linear values
AFAIU.

There is also confusion with OETF vs. EOTF. I got that initially wrong
too. OETF is not just a name for inverse-EOTF but it is used in a
different context. Though here it seems to be just a typo.

OETF is inherent to a camera when it converts light into
electrical signals. EOTF is inherent to a monitor when it converts
electrical signals to light. Depending on what the electrical signals
have been defined to be in each step of a broadcasting chain, you might
need OETF or EOTF or their inverse or a different OETF or EOTF or their
inverse.

As we are talking about displays and likely assuming display-referred
content (not scene-referred content), we probably have no use for OETF,
but we could have several different EOTFs.


Thanks,
pq
