<p>For analogue signals (standard definition), the <b>ITU BT-601</b> formula

is used. </p>

<p>For high-definition signals, the <b> ITU BT-709</b> formula is used. </p>

the range [0, 1]. </li>

<li id="GUID-3F2ED876-7B73-567F-A3C6-40A90AD40053">R', G' and B' then have

to be clamped to the range [0, 1] and scaled up as appropriate. </li>
