Color Accuracy

Optimus Player leverages the powerful video and graphics technologies built into macOS to faithfully reproduce color3 so that you see color as the director intended during post-production4. See the comparison5 in the accompanying figure and then imagine that difference applied to all the pixels in every frame of a video.
