For the ninth edition of this event, SES, together with industry
partners, will present and demonstrate several technologies for
enhancing the quality of Ultra HD television with High Dynamic Range.
This feature will be key for next generation Ultra HD picture quality,
as HDR provides much higher contrast and offers a more realistic viewing
experience.
Delegates of the event will be able to witness HDR implementations such
as HDR 10, Dolby Vision, Hybrid Log Gamma and the Technicolor/Philips (News - Alert)
solution on state-of-the-art flat screens of major manufacturers.
As the broadcasting industry is in discussions to establish a standard
for HDR transmission, the goal of SES's HDR demo channel is to allow
industry partners to test the various technology candidates. At the
moment the channel carries Ultra HD content provided by LG Electronics (News - Alert),
with a backwards compatible HDR technology called Hybrid Log Gamma
(HLG). HLG HDR content will be demoed on LG's E6 4K OLED TV.
Thomas Wrede, VP Reception Systems at SES commented, "High Dynamic Range
will be a major improvement for satellite delivered Ultra HD television.
As industry and operators now face the challenge of standardising and
implementing a plethora of technology candidates, we intend to support
the process with our test channel. At the same time, we have started to
implement relevant HDR technology at our Munich playout facility."
