Considering that HDR may just be more of a significant improvement than 4K,
this article is particularly interesting.
Being averse to enforced, brute force simulcasting, I think the
Technicolor/Philips "Prime Single" system sounds intriguing. The FM stereo
approach - compatible with the installed base, but carries the info needed
for the new displays. Seems like the right way to go, unless we believe that
in the future, essentially all displays will be HDR capable.
Looks like there is still a lot of work to be done here. Probably too early to
see exactly where this is headed, especially for broadcast. One thing is clear,
it will require new encoding to deliver the extra bit depth, so it is likely
that we will see the combination of HVEC with some form of HDR and extended
color gamut.
I would expect that these technologies will become standard on all displays
over time - there are major benefits for all kinds of imagery, not just TV
entertainment. During the transition there will likely be some people watching
less than optimal displays...
