(Oregon - April 11, 2016)
- At NAB 2016 in Las Vegas, isovideo will demonstrate its latest new GPU-accelerated,
visually-optimized proprietary HDR to SDR tone mapping.
This is an important new feature to our Game-Changer Award winning
Viarte clusters,
which can seamlessly digitally
convert/remaster/encode a wide variety of media content, including SD to UHD,
interlaced/progressive, HFR, HDR/WCG, PQ (SMPTE ST 2084) and HLG, etc. More details on Viarte cluster conversion
can be found at
press_0322_NAB.
Viarte latest motion-compensated (MC) HDR/SDR noise reduction
has made another substantial advancement since last year. For example on HDR test material, at 50dB PSNR, the bit-rate reduction is over 80%,
dropping to 65% at 45dB on average. isovideo's latest published paper on "HEVC Results from MC Noise Reduction of HDR Content" can be found
here.
The new advanced Viarte HDR to SDR tone mapping allows HDR production to leverage
current video distribution infrastructure for a genuinely improved (HDR-like) viewing impact
on any existing SDR display device, from TVs to cell phone, including current Cinema projection systems.
