I draw in opengl with RGBA colors these texts (with the color between parenthesis) :
RED-alpha50 (255,0,0,50) RED-alpha128 (255,0,0,128) RED-alpha255 (255,0,0,255)
GREEN-alpha50 (0,255,0,50) GREEN-alpha128 (0,255,0,128) GREEN-alpha255 (0,255,0,255)
BLUE-alpha50 (0,0,255,50) BLUE-alpha128 (0,0,255,128) BLUE-alpha255 (0,0,255,255) -
I memcpy in the buffer (getByte) of a frame created with the format bmdFormat8BitBGRA
at the size of 1280 pixels by 720 pixels,
and then send it to the SDI output of a video capture card. -
Here are links to screenshot of what we see on the TV set :
Channel A (should be the fill : so we expect RGB values)

Channel B (should be the key : so we expect grey-scale values)

I am not sure which color conversion I should try.
=> Can someone give me hint or working tracks for why the background which should be black is a “half” green (I reckon it to be green with 50% alpha : 0,255,0,128 or else in YUV) ?
=> Is it a question of unsigned byte vs byte : why do I obtain black with (255,0,0,128) and red with (255,0,0,255) : why is the red range reached with alpha between 128 and 255 ?
(but green gets whiter at (0,255,0,255) and blue is a little greenish at (0,0,255,128)).
=> is it a question of converting SDI to HDMI or a HDCP issue ?
Thanks to all for any help,
I am a bit dazzled, and quite new to color conversion,
any help will be so great,
cheers,
