What exactly do Panasonic's V-Log and V-Gamut reference define (curve constants, primaries, matrices)?
Panasonic's V-Log is 5.6x+0.125 below 0.01 and 0.241514*log10(x+0.00873)+0.598206 above, which the curator's recomputation matches to the published 10-bit codes 128/433/602; V-Gamut primaries are R (0.730, 0.280), G (0.165, 0.840), B (0.100, -0.030) with D65 white, and the manual gives XYZ, BT.709 and ACES conversion matrices and Varicam clip levels.
