In 2022, OpenColorIOv2.1, the open source software released by ASWF, will be equipped with highly accurate color management functions essential for the production of HDR content for OTT (Over The Top) such as NETFLIX and Disney+.
This presentation will begin with a review of the history of OpenColorIO and ACES, which have been developed separately since around the year 2000, up to their current versions. At the same time, we will summarize the status of The Foundry Nuke compositing software, which has quickly supported both software.
