ACES 2 Pipeline Audit: Encodings, Output Targets and Handoffs

ACES 2 Pipeline Audit: Encodings, Output Targets and Handoffs

Choose one answer. All questions are included, with explanations after checking. No time limit. Training target: 21/26. Audit explicit ACES 2 transform chains: scene encodings, rendering versus display encoding, matched inverse-output paths, look boundaries, component identity and AMF baked-versus-pending processing. Based on the released ACES 2.0 system (v2.0.0+2025.04.04) and current Academy documentation checked 14 November 2026. Host software may combine steps; each question states its signal contracts. This thematic test does not assess complete color-science implementation, monitor calibration, ICC profiles or alpha compositing.

A facility has an ACES 2 camera-to-ACES Input transform and a CSC with exactly the same mathematical mapping and applicable source conditions. Must it keep two implementations solely because the transform types differ?
