Abstract: Three methods of color processing for HDTV — conventional, linear, and CIELAB coding — have been investigated, considering different color primaries, different characteristics for precorrection, and the visibility of noise and quantization errors. The CIELAB codec with REGEBE primaries situated on the spectrum locus, precorrection with a gamma γ = 0.33, and a contrast ratio KS = 100 turned out to be the best solution among the three systems because it provides a wide color gamut, a good uniformity for both noise and quantization errors, and constant luminance.
