Talks

Kai-Uwe Behrmann: Colour Management in Compositors

  * type: ca. 45 minutes full length presentation and discussion (will run in the Xorg time frame)

Xorg allows compositors to run on efficient GPU hardware. It is possibly to deploy GPUs for low power consumption colour correction of the whole desktop. The talk will introduce in the topic by the CompICC colour server implementation and give a overview about used techniques and concepts. It will try to outline next generation desktop colour management and what is needed, from my point of view, to get colour management well supported in graphics servers and deployed by toolkits and applications.

Unmanaged device-specific colour is also supported.
