EFFICIENT ELECTRO-OPTICAL TRANSFER FUNCTION (EOTF) CURVE FOR STANDARD DYNAMIC RANGE (SDR) CONTENT

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for transmitting Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) content. The systems and methods may use a modified Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) curve to convert nonlinear color values of SDR content into optical output values of modified SDR content. The systems and methods may encode the modified SDR content using eight bits while preventing banding. The systems and methods may transmit the encoded data to a client device for presentation on a display.
