Gamut Legality

he practice of ensuring a video signal's color and luma values fall within the reproducible range (gamut) of a target display or broadcast standard. It is a non-negotiable technical requirement for professional delivery, preventing image degradation, transmission errors, and rejection by distributors. Failing to maintain gamut legality compromises the integrity of the image, especially when content is repurposed across different platforms.
