HDR support continues to improve, but the challenge of traditional infrastructure limitations and the desire for efficient packaging prevent utilization of large bit depths everywhere.
This SMPTE Educational Webcast explores how the Electro-Optical Transfer Function (EOTF) really defines an electronic imaging signal and what that means for the use of higher dynamic range content. In addition, the development of a signal definition based on the human visual system model promises to optimize its perceptual efficiency.
Scott Miller from Dolby puts the focus on the PA HDR technology developed by Dolby Labs with some comparisons to HLG.
