RDD 2:2007 - SMPTE Registered Disclosure Doc - Use of Logarithmic Non-Linear Transfer Characteristic for Transmission of Linear Signals through Limited-Bit-Depth Image Representations and Interfaces
This document describes a method of connecting the 12-bit linear processing space in an electronic capture camera to a downstream 12-bit linear processing space (“virtual camera processing”) via a pair of industry-standard 10-bit serial interfaces carrying 10-bit signal representations. This is achieved by means of a nonlinear transfer curve to be applied to the linearly-coded source image signal ...
