AYRE DX-5DSD - Manual (Page 78)

• Auto (default) – The player communicates with
the display to automatically determine what color
space to use. If the display device supports YCbCr
4:4:4, then it will be used to avoid additional color
space conversions.
• RGB Video Level – The HDMI output uses RGB
color space and normal signal range suitable for
video displays.
• RGB PC Level – The HDMI output uses RGB
color space and expands the signal range for
personal computer (PC) displays. Some TVs are
designed to be used as a PC monitor, and expect
signal in expanded RGB range when the DVI input
is selected.
For these displays if the video signal
uses the normal RGB range, the contrast will be
reduced. You can select the RGB PC Level output
and restore proper contrast.
• YCbCr 4:4:4 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr
4:4:4 color space.
• YCbCr 4:2:2 – The HDMI output uses YCbCr
4:2:2 color space. Generally this is the color space
that is closest to the color space encoded on the
discs. (All discs are encoded in YCbCr 4:2:0 color
space, and the video decoder in the player
extrapolates it to YCbCr 4:2:2.)
• HDMI Deep Color – Deep Color is an option
for some newer displays. Normally, each pixel of
the video image is transmitted using 24-bit
data (8-bit per color channel). If Deep Color is
supported, each pixel of the video image can be
transmitted using 30-bit (10-bit per color
channel) or 36-bit (12-bit per color channel)
data. The increased bit depth should result in
smoother color transitions and better gradients,
but only under specific circumstances. If the
display does not support 36-bit deep color,
