Welcome to Part 3 of ‘HDR & WCG For Broadcast’ - a major 10 article exploration of the science and practical applications of all aspects of High Dynamic Range and Wide Color Gamut for broadcast production.
Part 3 discusses the creative challenges of HDR & WCG, why automation is more challenging than it might first appear and the potential impact of ongoing developments in consumer display and camera technologies.
About HDR & WCG For Broadcast
The original 2019 Broadcast Bridge ‘HDR’ series has been one of our most enduringly popular editorial collections - it's been read by over 50,000 people. This new series takes this essential topic area and revitalizes it with a complete re-write by the original series author Phil Rhodes.
In the last five years HDR has become a consumer expectation and the range of devices consumers use to access content has proliferated enormously. Most broadcasters and streamers around the world now deliver both SDR and HDR versions of much of their content giving the consumer the ultimate choice of received format. This brings with it a significant set of challenges for broadcasters, especially with live production. How to capture, produce and deliver SDR and HDR simultaneously.
This new series re-visits all the key principles of colorimetry, and the various technical formats and standards involved in acquisition, production and delivery. It then examines the various methodologies and workflows employed by the broadcast community to achieve seamless simultaneous production & delivery.
HDR & WCG For Broadcast will publish in three parts. Details of all three parts can be found HERE.
About Part 3 – Achieving Simultaneous SDR-HDR Workflows
Part 3 is a free PDF download which contains three original articles:
Article 1 : The Creative Challenges Of HDR-SDR Simulcast
HDR can make choices easier - or harder - at every stage of production but the biggest challenge may be just how subjective those choices are.
Article 2 : Automating HDR-SDR Conversion
Automation seems like an obvious solution but effective conversion involves understanding what the image content is and therefore what the priorities are for how it should look.
Article 3 : Disruptive Future Technologies For HDR & WCG
Consumer demands and innovations in display technology might change things for the future but it is standardization which perhaps holds the most potential for benefit to broadcasters.
