<a name="colorspace-output-hdr10"></a>

Read this section if you set up one or more MediaLive outputs to [convert the color space](colorspace-output-setup.md#colorspace-output-setup-convert) to HDR10. The following table shows how MediaLive handles each type of color space that it encounters in the source.


|  Color space that MediaLive encounters  |  How MediaLive handles the color space  | 
| --- | --- | 
|  Content in an SDR color space  |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/colorspace-output-hdr10.html) This conversion fits the smaller SDR color space into the larger HDR color space and maps the pixels to new code values that represent the same color.  The conversion doesn't actually make the existing color richer. However, the bright parts of the content are brighter, and the dark parts are darker.  | 
| Content in HDR10 |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/colorspace-output-hdr10.html)  | 
| Content in HLG |  [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/colorspace-output-hdr10.html)  | 
| Content in Dolby Vision 8.1 | This conversion isn't supported. After conversion, the color map of the content could be completely wrong. | 
| Content marked with an unknown or unsupported color space |  We can't make any promises about how MediaLive will handle source content that is in an unsupported color space. Any of the following might apply: [\[See the AWS documentation website for more details\]](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/medialive/latest/ug/colorspace-output-hdr10.html)  |
