System and method for generating video content with hue-preservation in virtual production

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a processor, data in a scene-based encoding format based on raw data received in a pre-defined format,
• wherein the raw data includes a computer-generated background rendered on a rendering panel and a foreground object;
• determining, by the processor, scene linear data based on the data in the scene-based encoding format;
• controlling, by the processor, a saturation of the scene linear data when a first color gamut corresponding to the pre-defined format is mapped to a second color gamut corresponding to a display-based encoding color space;
• and
• determining, by the processor, a standard dynamic range (SDR) video content in the display-based encoding color space based on the scene linear data,
• wherein hue of the SDR video content is preserved, when the rendering panel is in-focus or out-of-focus, based on a scaling factor that is applied to three primary color values that describe the first color gamut.

A non-transitory computer readable medium, having stored thereon, computer executable code, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• determining data in a scene-based encoding format based on raw data received in a pre-defined format,
• wherein the raw data includes a computer-generated background rendered on a rendering panel and a foreground object;
• determining scene linear data based on the data in the scene-based encoding format;
• controlling a saturation of the scene linear data when a first color gamut corresponding to the pre-defined format is mapped to a second color gamut corresponding to a display-based encoding color space;
• and
• determining a standard dynamic range (SDR) video content in the display-based encoding color space based on the scene linear data,
• wherein hue of the SDR video content is preserved, when the rendering panel is in-focus or out-of-focus, based on a scaling factor that is applied to three primary color values that describe the first color gamut.
