HPA Post List
December 2009
What's the latest on 3-D without glasses? Why would you want to watch
TV at 300 frames per second? When might ATSC 2.0 get implemented? How
does one reference monitor work for multiple display technologies?
Who's combining HDTV and stereoscopy in games? Where does content
protection work, and where doesn't it?
Do you know all about appliances, clusters, cell processors, and
grid-based transcoding? How about the latest software developments?
What's going on in both Bollywood and Hollywood with regard to
preserving image quality through digital processes? What's "spatial
hearing"? How should loudness be measured?
Those are just a few of the topics that will be covered. Do you know
how cable works? How about a replacement for color bars? Is 4K
enough? What shocking surprises have come up with regard to digital-TV
transmission, and how might they affect mobile TV? How has a network
implemented file-based delivery, and what are real-world data-transfer
results? What happens when Bayer-filtered sensors are compared to full RGB?
Dr. Hans Hoffmann of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) will show the results of
concatenated-compression testing using three studio codecs (AVC-Intra,
JPEG2000, and XDCAMHD422) and H.264 playout at different bit rates
(including 1080p50).
The EBU is joining the BBC, major U.S. networks, major Hollywood
studios, and many others at the event, which will cover, among other
topics, 3-D, high-frame-rate television, sustainable technology,
digital-broadcast propagation "surprises" in the field, preservation of
creative intent, new display technologies, spatial hearing,
file-exchange formats and workflows, real-world data-transfer results, a
comparison of Bayer color filters and "full RGB," advanced
hardware/software/storage, 4K+, 3Gbps HD-SDI and gigabit-Ethernet
infrastructures, test & measurement, legislative & regulatory updates,
and much more.
This is the event attended by people ranging from the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts & Sciences to the National Security Agency. It's the one
that has had presentations from officials of NATO the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization and NATO the National Association of Theater Owners,
MPEG the Moving Picture Experts Group and MPEG the Motion Picture
Editors Guild. It's the event where, no matter what your question,
someone will be there who knows the answer.
