# Passing through color space
<a name="colorspace-output-passthrough"></a>

You can pass through any color space that Elemental Live supports, except for Dolby Vision 5.0. You can pass through both color spaces that Elemental Live supports, and color spaces that it doesn't support, so long as the output type supports the passed-through color space standard.

**Note**  
This section assumes that you are familiar with creating or editing an event. 

**To set up each output**

Follow this procedure in each output. 

1. On the **Event **page, in the **Output groups **section, choose the output group, and choose the output that contains the video.

1. Open the **Advanced** section. More fields appear.

1. Leave **Insert Color Metadata** checked. You should never remove the color metadata if you are passing through the color space.

1. Scroll down to the **Preprocessors ** section and turn on **Color Corrector**. More fields appear.

1. Set **Color Space Conversion** to **None**, which means you don't want to convert the color space.

The following table shows how Elemental Live handles each type of color space that it encounters. Each row in the table describes a different handling.


|  Color space metadata that Elemental Live encounters  |  How Elemental Live handles the color space  | 
| --- | --- | 
|  Content in any color space that Elemental Live supports  |  It doesn't touch the color space or brightness (the pixel values) in the output. It passes through any of the three sets of metadata that are present.  | 
| Content marked with unknown or an unsupported color space |  It doesn't touch the color space or brightness (the pixel values) in the output. It leaves the content as marked with the unknown color space.  It passes through any brightness metadata and display metadata.  | 
|  Content with no color space metadata  |  It doesn't touch the color space or brightness (the pixel values) in the output. It leaves the content as unmarked (no color space metadata).  |
