Abstract:
This presentation will make the case that color science can and should make a meaningful contribution to make the media industry more sustainable. All along a video pipeline, from production to transmission and finally to display, energy is spent. It turns out that one of the most costly aspects of video is simply the production of light in the displays that we use. The introduction of novel display technologies, including a wider gamut, a higher dynamic range, higher resolutions, and higher framerates, for the moment tends to increase the energetic impact. The tendency to migrate to smaller displays helps to counteract this problem. But what else can be done, and where does color science come in? This presentation will outline the problem and begins to answer some of these questions.
