Realizing The Promise of UHD

The introduction of digital cameras that strived to match or exceed film negatives' capabilities and of UHD displays that support the explosion in home viewing set in motion a re-evaluation of the professional entertainment supply chain. New practices, technologies and standards were proposed to address image quality, the creative process, storage and transport roadblocks, the audience experience, and more.

Filmmakers, display manufacturers, senior executives, and technologists from the content supply chain at studios, networks, post-production, distribution companies and vendors participated in an interactive 360-degree forum examining the 4K supply chain options that would further the artistic and business interests of the entertainment and CE industry while delivering a demonstrably improved viewing experience.

Among the topics of focus were resolution, high dynamic range, high frame rate, post and distribution workflows, new compression and color space solutions, UHD TV innovations, refresh rates, and other settings.
