Do the S-Log3, V-Log and Canon Log 2/Log 3 constants in the manufacturers' documents match those in OpenColorIO's built-in camera transforms and the ACES CTL colourspace transforms, and where do the implementations add something the documents do not say?

At OCIO 10a43ec1 and ACES aces-input-and-colorspaces 29b722bc, the S-Log3 (261.5, 420, 0.01125, 171.2102946929), V-Log (0.01, 0.00873, 0.241514, 0.598206) and Canon Log 2 (0.24136077, 0.092864125, 87.099375, x0.9 scaling) literals are present as reported; the ACES V-Log CTL carries the explicit linear segment (5.6, 0.125, cut 0.181) that the OCIO Panasonic parameter list read does not spell out.

At OCIO 10a43ec1 and ACES aces-input-and-colorspaces 29b722bc, the S-Log3 (261.5, 420, 0.01125, 171.2102946929), V-Log (0.01, 0.00873, 0.241514, 0.598206) and Canon Log 2 (0.24136077, 0.092864125, 87.099375, x0.9 scaling) literals are present as reported; the ACES V-Log CTL carries the explicit linear segment (5.6, 0.125, cut 0.181) that the OCIO Panasonic parameter list read does not spell out. Curator qualifications: Vendor-document constants are taken from the producer's C2-B24-X1 readings (not reinspected); agreement with Sony/Panasonic/Canon documents is therefore a chained claim. Canon Log 3 literals, S-Gamut3/Cinema Gamut primaries (F4) and how OCIO derives the V-Log linear segment not reinspected. Shared lineage between OCIO and ACES transforms not assessed (see CA-B001 independence caution). Static reading only; no transform evaluated. Limitations: Static reading only; no transform evaluated. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
