HDMI Deep Colour
Deep Colour is an OPTION for
some
TVs or projectors that feature HDMI v1.3 inputs.
Normally, each pixel of the video image is transmitted using 24-bit data (8-bit per channel
for R, G, B or Y, Cb, Cr).
If Deep Colour is supported, each pixel of the video image can be transmitted using 30-bit
(10-bit per channel), 36-bit (12-bit per channel) or 48-bit (16 bit per channel) data. The
increased bit depth should result in smoother colour transitions and better gradients. The
available options are:
•
30 bits:
Sets the colour depth at 32 bit mode.
•
36 bits:
Sets the colour depth at 36 bit mode.
•
48 bits:
Sets the colour depth at 48 bit mode.
•
OFF:
Turns Deep Colour Mode OFF
Note:
Deep Colour mode may not be supported by all Televisions and these
settings may result in no change to the picture quality being displayed.
At this time no disc is encoded with Deep Colour. Enabling deep colour will
not make colour richer but will help preserve the maximum precision as a
result of video processing and picture control.
HDMI V1.3 or later cable must be used.
HDMI 1080P 24Hz
Also known as 24P, this option only applies to the HDMI output at 1080p resolution. Many
Blu-ray Discs that originated from theatrical movies are encoded using 24Hz frame rate, the
same number of frames per second as the original theatrical film. If the TV properly
supports 1080p 24Hz, smoother motion can be achieved by enabling
1080p 24Hz Output
for such discs.
The available options are
•
ON:
Video encoded in 24Hz frame rate will be output as 1080p 24Hz without regard
to whether the TV can support the 1080p24 signal or not. If the TV cannot support
1080p24, selecting this option will result in no video.
*
Please ensure that your television support this features before selecting.
•
OFF:
Video Encoded in the 24Hz frame rate will be converted to 50Hz (PAL) or 60Hz
(NTSC).
