36 bit color!

Thank Koralis.

The point I wanted to make, is that even though deep color is not
standard, many enhancements not make it possible.

There are no technical hurdles, from Dec 2009 on, to bring 4:4:4 and
Deep Color to Bluray today.

Pixar has not responded to my email, but they seem to be doing
something special.

And I tell ya, TS3 and MU are just flabbergasting image quality wise...
 
It's possible, and frankly wouldn't surprise me, that Pixar/Disney could optimize the encode to take advantage of other technologies to enhance the picture. But that wouldn't be in the form of the video being encoded in 10-bit colour. It would make the release just to incompatible with blu-ray players.

So, extended color gamut seems to be an unofficial bluray extension. enabling deep color mode would allow the player to access the extended gamut colors for output to the TV I'd gather.

Nope, what they're talking about has already been implemented in "Mastered in 4K" BDs. You only get the expanded color gamut if you have a xvYCC capable player and Sony UHD set. Its not even a 10-bit encode from what I understand.

There also still seems to be some confusion about deep color's functionality here. All Deep Color does is allow to either take a 10-bit+ source and pass that through, or reduces banding by allowing 8-bit sources to be more precise in their upconversion.

As it stands there is no confirmed higher than 8-bit (aka 24-bit color space) commercial BD video encode that can be passed through via Deep Color. In practice, it simply allows the chain to pass along more precise data or toggles that device's color upconversion features.

This can come from a good master. Having a completely digital source helps in this regard. Still not sure why you think something magical is happening on a data level. SMH.
 
Indeed.

The bluray standard was made in 2003 and have never evolved since then.
That is how all stuff works across the world.
