Yes, that applies to the Y component according to specs.  My code was clipping RGB values to full range though, which I believe is a fair deal.

Speaking about ranges, VC-3 specs say the range of DCT coefficients is [-1024, 1023] for 8 bit and [-4096, 4095] for  10 bit.  However, the values coming from dnxhd_decode_dct_block() are sometimes outside of those ranges, taking into account the bias applied to make them non-negative.  I am not sure if it's OK or not, but I did notice ffmpeg doesn't produce pixel-to-pixel identical results compared to Avid's decoder.  The difference can most easily be noticed on smooth gradients.
