HDR or High Dynamic Range is all the rage now on the display side. But with it, there is a big problem for broadcasters which now have to support HD with and with HDR and UHD/4K with HDR. How do they make all the feeds simultaneously look good? And how do they pay for such expensive transition?
The issue for pre-recorded content is easier in that it is off-line conversion. We know what format DVD and Blu-ray are for example. With live, the user can have anything from a tablet to HD or HDR television.
Bob post this video which shows some of the solutions to this problem and the jockeying among the usual suspects from Dolby to Technicolor and Sony for position here. It is probably way too deep of a dive for most here but the first 10 minutes or so might be useful watch. That is the presentation by Pat Griffis from Dolby who used to work on my team when I was at Microsoft (managed our standards group participation).
