Overview

EN 61966-2-4:2006/A1:2016 (IEC 61966-2-4:2006/A1:2016) defines the extended‑gamut YCC colour space for video applications (xvYCC) within the multimedia systems and equipment domain. Published as a CENELEC amendment in 2016, this document updates the original part 2‑4 specification for colour measurement and colour management to address wider display gamuts used by consumer electronic (CE) devices and video systems.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • xvYCC colour space definition - extension of conventional YCC to support a wider colour gamut for video workflows (extended‑gamut handling).
  • Colour management for video - guidelines for rendering, storing and transmitting video using an extended‑gamut YCC representation.
  • Interoperability considerations - recommendations to ensure CE devices can exchange and render content reliably despite differing display gamuts.
  • Gamut identification and metadata - Annex D (informative) recommends using IEC 61966‑12‑2 (Simple Metadata format for identification of colour gamut) to describe target display gamuts for content exchange.
  • Bibliographic references and alignment - the amendment updates references to related standards (e.g., IEC 61966‑12‑1/‑12‑2) and notes other extended‑gamut colour spaces such as ITU‑R BT.2020 and SMPTE profiles.
  • Compliance and patent notice - the standard is a harmonized European/IEC document; implementers should check for any applicable patent encumbrances.

Applications and practical use

  • Display manufacturers and TV OEMs implementing support for xvYCC / extended wide colour gamut on consumer displays.
  • Camera, camcorder and capture-device vendors rendering or encoding video into an extended‑gamut format for downstream distribution.
  • Video codec and middleware developers who need to preserve wider‑gamut colour data across storage and transmission.
  • Broadcasters, streaming platforms and post‑production facilities wanting to author and exchange content that targets wider‑gamut consumer displays.
  • System integrators and QA labs using gamut metadata to ensure consistent rendering and interoperability across devices.

Who should use this standard

  • Colour scientists, display engineers, firmware and software developers in CE and broadcast industries.
  • Product designers and integrators building end‑to‑end video pipelines that require extended‑gamut colour handling and metadata exchange.
  • Standards and compliance teams ensuring devices interoperate with xvYCC‑equipped ecosystems.

Related standards

  • IEC 61966‑12‑1: Metadata for identification of colour gamut (Gamut ID)
  • IEC 61966‑12‑2: Simple metadata format for identification of colour gamut (recommended for xvYCC content exchange)
  • ITU‑R BT.2020, SMPTE ST 428‑1, SMPTE ST 2086 (other wide‑gamut / mastering metadata references)
