ConvertToRGB - matrix

[rgr]

When converting to RGB using ConvertToRGB, should a matrix be provided or will the function recognize itself based on the frame parameters which matrix (601 or 709) to convert from?

AviSynth assumes Rec601 as default, anything else you will have to provide.
AviSynth can not know, only believe from there.
From old AviSynth help:

Options
matrix
Default Rec601. Controls the colour coefficients and scaling factors used in RGB - YUV conversions.
"Rec601" : Uses Rec.601 coefficients; scale full range [0..255] RGB to TV range [16..235] YUV, and vice versa.
"Rec709" : Uses Rec.709 coefficients; scale full range [0..255] RGB to TV range [16..235] YUV, and vice versa.
"PC.601" : Uses Rec.601 coefficients, keep full range.
"PC.709" : Uses Rec.709 coefficients, keep full range.
"AVERAGE" : Uses averaged coefficients, keep full range. (So the luma becomes the average of the RGB channels.)

With the advent of frame properties some conversions may pass some more parameters:

If you know matrix (and also range mapping required) it is most safe way to provide it.

OK, thanks.
