Advanced HDR By Technicolor® Opens New
Creative and Technical Horizons for the Content
Production, Distribution and Display Community
Advanced HDR by Technicolor® is a suite of High Dynamic Range
(HDR) production, distribution and display solutions that leverages
machine learning (ML) technology to maximize image quality and enhance
the consumer viewing experience. There are two major components to
Advanced HDR by Technicolor:
• Intelligent Tone Management (ITM)
Tool provides a dynamic, tunable, real-time solution to
up-convert SDR content to HDR with full freedom and
flexibility to manage contrast, brightness and color saturation.
• Single Layer HDR (SL-HDR)
Is a dynamic and tunable real-time tool that implements the
ETSI SL-HDR standards to generate and deliver a single, consistent,
high-quality broadcast stream starting from any mix of input content
(such as live, movies, news) across a wide range of HDR formats
(HDR10, HLG, S-LOG3). SL-HDR1 transforms HDR input streams
into SDR-plus-metadata streams. SL-HDR compatible receivers
provide consumers with high-quality HDR images that can be
adapted to optimize the display capabilities of their devices. Thanks
to the unique backward compatibility feature of SL-HDR1, consumers
who do not have HDR devices can enjoy the highest quality
SDR experience.
Leveraging ML, Advanced HDR by Technicolor enables content creators
and broadcasters to automate SDR-to-HDR-to-SDR conversion processes.
The solutions oer easy-to-use, full-tuning capabilities. This makes it possible
to match the highest video quality requirements.
• When used in production,
Technicolor HDR ITM and Technicolor SL-HDR allow content creators
to produce the highest quality HDR and SDR images.
• When used in distribution,
Advanced HDR by Technicolor can protect -- and enhance --
investments made by industry and consumers in legacy infrastructure
and devices. SL-HDR distribution formats upgrades existing distribution
video streams (including SDR, HDR10 and HLG) to further improve
viewers’ experience by optimizing image quality to the technical
capabilities of the receiving device.
• At playout,
The new round-trip feature of Advanced HDR by Technicolor enables
“no-compromise” round-trip production for live-TV and post-production
operations. It ensures that HDR content creation and conversion
processes do not alter the original creative intent of SDR sources.
As a result, SDR content converted to HDR during playout can be
restored to original parameters when displayed on SDR devices.
