  • There are a lot of misconceptions for what higher bit depth images actually get you, so I thought I would explain it. More bits adds more information to the image so it's usually easier to process video and photos in post and avoiding banding.

      actually it's 254... 0 and 255 are considered black and white.
      So yeah.
      but since nothing in the world is black nor white(perfect light absorber/reflector) then these are shades of grey BUT WAIT! since your screen can never be 100% calibrated you might never be able to view any shade of grey!
      No matter how you calibrate it you can only jump in 1/256 steps of color in each channel so you can never achieve the perfect balance.

      +HAWXLEADER yeah but you can make and save a color profile to a usb stick to use on all your monitors if the same brand and model for monitors that allow such
      "perfect" is a dream but all being the same offset for each color is possible with some monitors

    There is a second caveat - you won't get 10-bit image with just 10-bit monitor - you will need a graphics card that supports 10-bit output too (quadro, firepro) or a capture/playback box that can handle this.
    Otherwise you will be pushing 10-bit image through 8-bit card output to 10-bit monitor. This restriction affects only the monitoring signal and not the rendered file output.
    Please correct me if i'm wrong.

    Handbrake does offer H264 10 bit encoding, and I tried converting a video using this setting. The finished video does play on my Mac but my DVR says it is an unsupported file type. I am using the Ematic AT103B DVR which allows videos to be played from a USB Flash Drive. I do a lot of video editing an processing so make sure to test your DVR to see if H264 10 bit is even supported for playback.

    Regarding the basics, especially regarding the number of shades and number of bits, very well done. For a complete novice this should be understandable. (I have a masters in math and informatics, and I like it.)

    What the difference between fake 8 bit FRC (6 bit + 2 bit interpolation) vs true 8 bit? How to know if the monitor is true 8 bit not the 6 bit? Thanks.

    • @ChildrenOfDesire
      @ChildrenOfDesire Před 6 lety +1

      The difference between fake 8 bit FRC and native 8 bit color reproduction is that the 6 bit + 2 bit FRC monitor can only natively display true shades of color belonging to the 6 bit color spectrum. However, the FRC allows it to emulate colors in the 8 bit spectrum by flashing two 6 bit colors (say for example color 200 and 202) on each side of an 8 bit color value (in this case 201) fast enough for them to perceptibly blend and give the impression it is showing the true native 8 bit color shade.

    4. Which resolution and frame rate did you set your project on.
    5. Which resolution did you render with? Upscaled ? Downscale?
