Any news on BDs with Deep Color? - Blu-ray Forum

Anyone know of any Blu-Ray discs with Deep Color support and if the Onkyo TX-SR606 is HDMI 1.3 compliant, is it capable of displaying this data? Thanks-

The Blu-ray spec doesn't support beyond eight bits per colour. "Deep Color" refers to 10/12-bits per colour.

xvYCC (expanded gamut) is a supposedly standard YCC-compatible encoding that could be used on a Blu-ray. But the spec doesn't currently have a flag to tell a supporting player it is xvYCC. And I've not read anything on how compatible it really is.

The issue would be what would happen if a player or set not expecting wildly fluctuating values in the 0-15 and 241-255 ranges (used for the blacker-than-black and whiter-than-white in standard YCC) got them.
