HDR & UHD solutions

the road to enhanced pictures

While UHD itself is still in the very early stages of rolling out for both production and transmission, broadcasters and particularly the new breed of entertainment distribution services, notably Netflix and Amazon Prime, are looking at techniques to further enhance and improve the viewing experience.

UHD has already brought us more pixels. The next logical step is not any additional pixels but better pixels that give a picture with more definition and, most important of all, improved colour reproduction and a higher dynamic range. Which is why the initials HDR (high dynamic range) and WCG (wide colour gamut) have been challenging those of UHD for prominence on booths at trade shows and in new TV sets advertisements.

By extending the dynamic range, more information can be accommodated in an image, bringing with it more dynamics

in luminance to an image. In a similar way WCG allows more vibrant colours to be displayed because it can store a wider range of colour values than established RGB (Red Green Blue) colour spaces.

CurvesSince the publication of CIE 1931 RGB and CIE 1931 XYZ, a succession of colour spaces and curves has appeared, each tailored to either the requirements of broadcast/film technology at the time or a specific application.

In 1982 the predecessor of the Radiocommunications section of the ITU (International Telecommunications Union) issued Recommendation BT.601 (Rec.601 or BT.601). This set out the colour space for standard definition images in 525-line 60Hz and 625-line 50Hz broadcasting, using YCbCr 4:2:2 coding.

BT.601 was superseded by BT.709, which was approved for HD, widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) TV in 1990. This is based on 1980-lines and produces more colours than 601 but is nothing to get excited about. It has a fairly small colour palette in terms ofwhat the human eye can see.

The big jump came with BT.2020, which appeared in 2012 and lays out parameters for UHD. This covers two resolutions: 3840x2160, otherwise known as 4k, and 7680x4320, or 8k, which forms the basis of NHK’s Super Hi-Vision TV system.

It also specifies bit-depths of either 10-bits per sample or 12-bits per sample. BT.2020 comes much closer to the capability of the human eye but takes up only a relatively small proportion of the CIE 1931 colour space.

What is the new challenge?If broadcasters implement both HDR and WCG it has to be in best possible way. This is necessary so we can preserve our precious industry. To do this properly, and be able to compete on a level playing field with competition from new media platforms, there can be no compromise.

The technical challenge behind this is the move from the HDTV colour space (BT.709) to the colour space for UHD plus HDR and WCG (BT.2020). In doing this we are going from a relatively small area with a maximum brightness/luminance of 100 nits, all represented in the well-know 10-bit YUV definition that is used in broadast. Compared to BT.709, BT.2020 has a much larger colour space to work in and up to 10,000 nits, but as broadcasters want/need to be able to continue to use their existing infrastructure, we still need to code this in the same 10-bit YUV infrastructure.

The whole issue becomes even more complicated if WCG is part of the equation. Higher dynamic range with some sort of backwards compatibility is only possible when everything is working remains in the same colour space. But because the broadcast market has to be part of the real world, services will have to include WCG, which will mean the whole issue of backwards compatibility in practice is down the drain.

Making the changesGoing from one colour space to another and dealing with different dynamic range systems is challenging. Fortunately there is a long established technique for this involving look-up tables (LUTs). A LUT is a list of parameters - a row of numbers - with an input and an output. It tells you that if you go in with a number, you have to come out with a different number.

A LUT has to be made for the different colours. So a single LUT would consist of LUTs for R, G and B. The ultimate goal is to maintain equal and realistic skin colours. If skin colours start to shift any problems with the colour become immediately very apparent. The human eye is very perceptive to skin colour changes.

A 1D LUT is quite easy and basic, with brightness and tones in conveyed in RGB. A 3D LUT is more complicate as can be seen in the image below.

A further complication is that LUTs are handled in a RGB domain. This means a matrix is needed to convert from YCrCB to RGB. By taking the colour corrector in one of our cards, the incoming YCrCB signal is converted into RGB, colour corrected and then outputted as YCrCB using an inverse matrix. The problem is that the matrix going from YCrCB to RGB is different in BT.709 and in BT.2020, calling for two conversion matrices. Because of this the source has to be clearly identified.

Axon produces a number of cards that are able to convert the various colour spaces and LUTs while at the same time working with HDR and WCG. The UXU400-410 is designed to convert from HD (SDR709) to UHD (HDR2020) and back. This card isderived from the GXG400 and is field upgradeable from the GXG400 to the UXU.

A standard set of LUTs are included, along with a piggyback PCB for storing the LUT presets. A selection of presets is available, allowing many different LUTs to be held on the card. These can be switched on the fly, with the ability to use split screen mode to compare and see what is going in and out.

The U4T200-240 is designed as a lower cost down-converter. It features a Dolby Vision decoder with four-wire interface to go from and to HDR.

The NUG220 is a Synapse card that can bridge up to 2x 4k/UHD TICO Compressed streams into dual 1080i/p SDI stream or a dual 4k/UHD four wire stream.

The included downconverter bridges the TICO compressed Workflow to an HD (1080i or 1080p) workflow.

Embedding and de-embedding to our Quad Speed audio bus is provided as well as bridging to AES67 from the same Quad Speed audio bus. A typical application for the Quad Speed bus is using a DEE28 Dolby E encoder/decoder card (or two) for Dolby E based workflows.

When it comes to speed and flexibility, there is nothing on the market to compare with our new SynView, a powerful, modular multiviewer that can handle both 4K and any IP video format.

Featuring vastly improved specifications, SynView is the industry’s only single field latency (20ms@50Hz and 16,[email protected]) multiviewer system to offer external looping for an unlimited amount of input channels. Thanks to its modular architecture it can either be used as a stand-alone unit or it can be combined with over 300 different Synapse signal processing modules to provide a system that truly stands out from the competition.

SynView’s unequalled low processing delay and start up time makes it ideal for a wide range of applications, from the smallest to the largest, including fast response production monitor walls; high resolution, high source count monitor walls and OB van preview monitoring and shading.

The system consists of 5 basic models. These versions can be mixed and matched to build a hybrid multiviewer with up to hundreds of inputs and 8 1080p heads (on SDI) or two heads with UHD/4K resolution. Multiple connector panels are available to allow for different I/O configurations.

Synview - The world’s fastest 4K and IP multiviewer

Key Features J Dual 10Gb Ethernet J Agnostic IP video channel picker compatible with formats like ST2022-7, ST2110 , AVB/TSN etc.

J Linear expandable system in steps of 8 SDI input channels or networked channels

J UHD (4-wire), 3Gb/s, HD or SD SDI inputs J 2x UHD or 8x HD outputs J Unlimited amounts of inputs per dual UHD output configuration or per 8 3Gb/s SDI output configuration

J Multi card multiview systems can span multiple frames by use of mini SAS-HD cables

J Fast boot time: the only single field latency (20ms @50Hz, 16,7ms @59.94Hz) multiview system in the world

J Linear increase of cost (no penalty for a small systems) J Linear increase of horse power

J A single card has enough processing power to scale, position, de-embed, overlay and process 8 video channels. When you double the amount of inputs, you double the amount of processing power

J A 128 channel system has 16 times the processing power of an 8 channel system

J A Synapse based modular system: can be combined with over 300 different available audio and video processing modules

J Each head can have its own customizable background J Fonts can be changed by uploading .ttf or .otf files
