"So for the event demo, FilmLight was showing the Media Composer BaseLight plugin using the Dolby Vision LUT.
Were they outputting to an HDR-complaint screen? And if so, with which I/O interface and with which monitor?"
Yes, they were outputting to the Dolby monitor which no one can buy. They were using a trash can Mac. I think they were using the HDMI out from the Mac, but I forgot to check. :-(
"Also, I am assuming from your reply that there was no discussion regarding the methodology required to export the BaseLight HDR metadata (BLG file?), Media Composer's potential involvement in that process, or the codec/container combination required for a final Media Composer master export file, that would be compatible with those multiple additional HDR metadata layers. Is that correct?"
Yes, you would be correct in that assumption. :-(

And then finally, is it safe to assume that with HDR-based projects, Media Composer just continues to "see" the Rec.709 media as it always has -- but with the added provision of allowing the HDR metadata to exist in a "sidecar" that can be associated with individual media files, as well as sequence files?
Sorry if these questions were all answered by your comment regarding Avid's lack of a presenter.
Just looking for any insight I can get.

Ill answer what I can from below. First, it is interesting that Vizio is calling their new HDR monitors "reference" monitors:
Reference Series Full-Array LED HDR + UHD Smart TV 2015 | VIZIO
Reference Series Full-Array LED HDR + UHD Smart TV 2015 | VIZIO
Avid didn't have anyone to present at this event, so I really can't answer any MC workflow questions. Baselight uses a Dolby Vision LUT and they were using the plugin version out of MC for the demo.
Not sure who is going to do HDR BluRay if and when it happens. But there is support built into the standard for it. Ultra HD Blu-ray arrives March 2016; here's everything we know
The UltraStudio (and Artist DNX I/O) 4K supports HDMI 2.0. So Avid could handle it if they chose to.
I do think Dolby is going to be "The Standard" because they are first to the plate. However, it gets interesting. As I understand it, "DolbyVision", if you license it, add the support for the metadata that will adapt to different displays. In other words, to get the Dolby cert. you need to have them build a LUT for your monitors. Since Sony hasn't done that, they do show the HDR, it just isn't calibrated according to Dolby. However the spec is a SMPTE spec so Sony can do their own calibration.
Mt estimate on the time frame? hmmm. that's tough. If the entities involved would be honest, and allow us to do 1080 HDR in our existing pipelines, then I would say in a not too distant future. But they have chosen to tie it to 4K so that is going to slow adoption. I strongly doubt any broadcasters are going to reinvest in all new hardware to stream something that most folks can't see. (4K)
So the current HDR is only going to be over the top and the aforementioned Blu-Ray. Interesting note here, VUDU, who are currently streaming DolbyVision content, said they will drop resolution before they drop HDR when bandwidth becomes constrained. This is because they see an ROI on HDR with their consumers, but not on 4K.
