Media content piracy declined by an average 15% across Europe during 2018 according to the European Union (EU) Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), contradicting the popular notion that the problem is getting out of hand in the streaming era.
The rg color space served to document the chromaticity gamut of the HVS, and so was a great step forward in understanding color and color vision. However, it was based on a certain set of primaries. As no set of primaries can embrace the whole of the HVS gamut, it is inevitable that the color matching functions have negative excursions. The CIE set out to remedy that by taking the color matching experimental data and representing it in a different way. The color space they developed is a cube having three orthogonal axes, X, Y and Z. The white point was defined as the equal energy point, otherwise known as Illuminant E (for equal).
The use of photorealistic technology is changing the way broadcasters are looking at virtual sets. Now it is possible to create scenes that are indistinguishable from reality, which provides excellent new possibilities for enhancing storytelling.
In the fourth and final part of this series, we wrap up with an explanation on how PTP is used to support SMPTE ST 2110 based services, we dive into timing constraints related to using COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) hardware, i.e.: servers.
DVB, the consortium developing open technical specifications for delivery of broadcast services, has formally approved its DVB-I specification for delivery of linear TV over IP networks including the internet.
The recent launch of Apple’s TV Plus service bulked up with original TV shows costing $6 billion to produce has disrupted global attempts to unify streaming behind a common set of protocols for encoding, packaging, storing and playing back video delivered over the internet.
In the data recording or transmission fields, any time a recovered bit is not the same as what was supplied to the channel, there has been an error. Different types of data have different tolerances to error. Any time the error rate is in excess of the tolerance, we need to do something. Error handling is a broad term that includes everything to do with errors. It includes studying the error sensitivity of different types of data, measures to prevent or reduce errors, measures to actually correct them and measures to conceal the error if correction is not available or not possible.
This past summer the NBA did a little experimenting using 5G and mobile phones to cover their summer league. This is not User Generated Content (UGC) by any means. It also was not an off the shelf deployment of 5G and demonstration of its capability.
