The Academy Color Encoding System: Standards for Digital Image Interchange, Color Management and Long-Term Archiving
The Academy Color Encoding System, known as ACES, was released to the industry in December 2014 as a production-ready suite of technical standards, best practices and support tools. Developed and tested by equipment manufacturers, facilities and filmmakers over the last 11 years, ACES is intended to be the standard digital production infrastructure that enables the industry to take full advantage of new high dynamic range and wide color gamut capture, processing and display technologies. This paper will review the SMPTE standards that are the foundation for ACES, how those standards are used in practice today, and will discuss the roadmap for standardizing ACES transforms, metadata and additional color encodings
