x.v.Color - off or on?

[donnyyeo]

Hello guys,

Please help answer these questions.

1. Should I turn on the x.v.Color (a.k.a. xvYCC) function on my HD video camera if the target is :

a) Youtube?
b) DVD-Video?
c) Blu-ray?

2. Can I record all video with x.v.Color turn on and later reprocess the video if less color gamut is needed?

3. Does it takes up more storage space?

Thank you.

I have HV30 and XH-A1. I also used other brands in the past but don't remember seeing this setting before.

I just did a search to find out what x.v.color is. For the 3 target viewing environments mentioned, none of these supports expanded colour, so I think there is not much point shooting with this option turned on. At best, it will only generate larger file sizes.

If you intend to play back from the cam to a compatible LCD panel, you might get the benefit of the x.v.color, but probably depends on how the cam was used and what the subject was.

Panasonic HDC-TM300.
The x.v.Color setting is activated when Digital Cinema Color function is turn on.

Not Canon. Panasonic HDC-TM300.

Does recording in x.v.Color and later viewing it with unsupported display, results in washout colors?
