What is bt1886?

BT1886 is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for the gamma correction of displays in order to ensure that displayed content conforms to a given reference medium. It specifies a method for converting digital image data into a form that can be accurately displayed on a variety of different screens, including TVs, monitors, and projectors. BT1886 defines a gamma curve that is specifically designed to reduce the “visual noise” or “sparkle” that can occur on screens when displaying certain types of content, such as fast-moving scenes or high-contrast images. The standard has been widely adopted by manufacturers of display technology, and is considered an important tool for ensuring that consumers receive consistent and accurate representations of digital content.
