Brightness of output material

I've asked this question before, but I think there were slightly conflicting answers, or I didn't understand the details of the answers which may have all said the same thing!

In the Advanced encoding there is this page...

The checkbox that says 'Brightness of output material corresponds with the CCIR-601 standard (video input has RGB 16-235). What is that for?

My video input has RGB 16-235, but it is HD Rec 709.

I have several exports to make...
HD Rec 709 MPEG 2 file
BD Disc
DVD Disc
Does it apply to any of those?

Perhaps it only applies and should be checked if the video input is SD?

Thanks in advance,

Seamus

Hi Seamus

. . . . . CCIR 601 . . . . .

This is the old name for BT 601 or REC 601 which was for SD video, REC 709 is the HD version of the standard and has the same RGB 16-235 limits.
