In July 2016, the International Telecommunication Union published recommendation ITU-R HDR-TV, BT.2100-0. This standard presents two options for the production of HDR images: Perceptual quantification (PQ) and hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), which opens the door to a more widespread adoption of emission in HDR.

At the same time, many customers are also looking to produce high definition (HD) content in HDR, especially because the migration of HD to 4K Ultra HD can still take some time.

Workflow

SR live for HDR, is compatible with the simultaneous production based on HD HDR and SDR HD high definition with the same method as for 4K HDR. In the workflow SR live for HDR, camera output signal is converted to S-Log3, BT.2020, HD HDR as intermediate format for production processes.

Once produced the image, Sony HDR HDRC-4000 converts the conversion of production unit to a suitable format of transmission capacity HDR, as, for example, the HLG or PQ standardized. HDRC-4000 unit uses original algorithms, which include AIR (Artistic Rendering Intent) integrated Matching to faithfully reproduce the image quality and color determined during the production S-Log3, regardless of the format of transmission used.

The production environment of SR live for HDR It includes a wide variety of types of devices, formats, subjects and suppliers. The system is capable of providing high-quality content, since the images are produced using the format S-Log3, and are converted to the format of distribution or desired emission.
