If you’re an engineer, technician, or craft engineer working with new video formats including UHD, or if you’re an editor or equipment supplier who simply wants to know more about the future of video, this course is for you! Although UHD video and displays have been around for nearly a decade, only recently has the format been broadly embraced by the broadcast and OTT industries. The basic terminology may be familiar to you, but do you really have a handle on what UHD means and how to handle the format across content creation and distribution? When you complete this course, you’ll be able to talk about UHD in depth. You’ll have the knowledge to ensure that your organization performs critical processing tasks correctly or uses the appropriate standards to support transport and display of UHD content. You will better understand the future of next-generation video formats and be better prepared to lead change and growth within your organization.
