x.v.Color: x.v.Color is a new color system that can display a wider color range than usual. CyberLink PowerDirector can generate an x.v.Color-compliant stream, which is backward compatible with RGB displays, while offering the opportunity to achieve better visual quality if your playback environment is x.v.Color ready).

It is also an option that can be enabled on my Sony HDR SR-12 camera. It supposedly allows you to shoot in a wider color gammut.

For what it's worth.

If your camera supports it and you encode to AVCHD why not use it?
Like everything technology is changing, my Dell 2405 is wide gamut, and so is my old Loewe 72cm and when I eventually do upgrade to a large flat panel I will definately be investigating the colour space capabilities. I imagine that AVCHD on BD through HDMI v1.3 to a panel with a x.v.color logo on it should work..... any takers for a side by side comparison test?


edit Just found this good article from sony. Of course it says that if you have a sony HD camera with sony bravia you can make use of xvcolour space, but it doesn't mention that it is not available under the blu-ray profile and only under avchd on bluray.
