Revision as of 21:57, 28 April 2017
The standard known as Rec.601 or CCIR-601 (Studio Encoding Parameters of Digital Television...) defines standard quantization levels: for luminance, black is 16 and peak white is 235. This is the normal luminance range. For chrominance, the range is 16 to 240, or 128±112. "The signal may occasionally excurse beyond" these ranges according to Rec.601.BT.601-7 (Annex 1, Table 3)
Luminance or chrominance values outside their ranges are known to cause problems with some TV sets, so Limiter was created to clip them (or clamp them - both terms are used) to the ranges [min_luma, max_luma] and [min_chroma, max_chroma], which you may specify, but by default are the Rec.601 values listed above.
Limiter can also colorize out-of-range pixels (with show) to warn of a potential problem. See the example images below. Naturally, this option should not be enabled for final output.
AVS+ all parameters are non-autoscaling – they must be scaled to the target bit depth.

Syntax and Parameters
Limiter(clip clip [, int min_luma, int max_luma, int min_chroma, int max_chroma, string show ] )
- clip clip = (required)
- Source clip. YUV only.
- AVS+ also supports YUVA. Floating point not supported.
- int min_luma = 16d
- Y (luma) lower bound.
- int max_luma = 235d
- Y (luma) upper bound.
- int min_chroma = 16
- U & V (chroma) lower bound.
- int max_chroma = 240d
- U & V (chroma) upper bound.
- string show = (empty)
- Colorizes the pixels outside the specified [min_X, max_X] range.
- If set, show must take one of the following values:
show Effect "luma" colorizes out of bound luma "luma_grey" colorizes out of bound luma, and makes the remaining pixels grey "chroma" colorizes out of bound chroma "chroma_grey" colorizes out of bound chroma, and makes the remaining pixels grey
Pixel Condition Colorization show="luma" show="luma_grey" Yj < min_luma ♦ red (pj) ♦ red (pj) Yj > max_luma ♦ green (pj) ♦ green (pj) Yj < min_luma and Yk > max_luma ♦ yellow (pj and pk) ♦ puke (pj) ♦ olive (pk) show="chroma" show="chroma_grey" U < min_chroma ♦ yellow ♦ yellow U > max_chroma ♦ blue V < min_chroma ♦ cyan V > max_chroma ♦ red U < min_chroma and V < min_chroma ♦ green U > max_chroma and V < min_chroma ♦ teal U < min_chroma and V > max_chroma ♦ orange U > max_chroma and V > max_chroma ♦ magenta

Changes
| v2.60 | Added support for YV24. |
| v2.56 | Added show to show out of bound luma/chroma. |
