INSIGHTS
High Dynamic Range (HDR) content promises a significant, aesthetically pleasing enhancement of the viewing experience. It also requires that several key questions be answered. For instance: How can an HDR master be created? How do we approach the new perceptual challenges of HDR? What information will be known only at the final display?
Please join SMPTE and Oscar winning guest speaker Gary Demos, CEO and founder of Image Essence LLC as he answers to these questions and more!
