RE: [Avid-L2] Re: HDR workflow

 

I have not seen the BBC system in person.  While I appreciate both the royalty-free and compatibility backstories, it would appear that the "price to pay" will be in form of decreased performance as compared with the Dolby Vision specification.  


And like all of the other regrettable baggage that came attached to the US transition from B&W to Color, it would likely be very difficult (if not possibly impossible) to re-engineer that potentially lesser BBC standard, after it had been adopted worldwide.

Splicing LOG onto the top of Rec.709 is certainly a novel approach, and I commend them for that, but in the end it seems like a compromised, stopgap measure, with hard performance limitations that likely will prevent further development.

I don't know Nigel, Had we made a clean break when adding color in the US, there wouldn't be so damn many frame rates to deal with now. and no .98, .97, etc. 

Also, the ringing between colors in NTSC was a heionous artifact. What will be the price to pay this time with this bolted on approach for broadcast HDR?

But still better than NTSC for the viewer surely?
