XvYCC-compliant?

The Z7/S270 platform also embraces xvYCC, or eXtended Video YCC, an expanded color gamut promoted in consumer gear, which doubles the amount of reproducible spectrum (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XvYCC). Because xvYCC induces headaches in professionals who know a thing or two about color management — neither the XtraFine EVF or LCD can display it properly, and you need a xvYCC-compliant NLE and monitor to see it properly in post — let's consign this advanced feature to future use, at least for the time being.

Is Red One, Red Scralet or Red Epic XvYCC-compliant?

No, Redcode has it's own colorspace. xvycc is an end-user spec, not an acquisition format.

There is both an xvYCC601 and xvYCC709. They share the same color conversion matrix as 601 and 709. Long before xvYCC there was BT.1361. For some reason Sony felt like creating another standard. I prefer 1361 myself. xvYCC stores the wide gamut information in the chroma values below 16 and above 240.

What you really want to ask is if REDColor can capture a wide gamut. As Kenneth points out, xvYCC is a delivery format.

Interestingly enough, a Peacock's colors fall into the wide gamut category. I only mention because of the image posted by Jarred.

Interesting. Thanks!
