How New Processing Technology Might Make Ultra HD and HDR Broadcasting A Reality

During the transition to HDTV, Yves Faroudja won three Emmys for processing technology that remains in use today. And now the award-winning engineer is using his experience to take aim at new formats including Ultra HD, or 4K, which is four times the resolution of HD.

“Bandwidth requirements for video are clogging the Internet, and we need to reduce the bit rate on the video system,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.

“HD, even when it was difficult to implement, appeared to be a necessity. … The question now is do I see a difference between HD and 4K. And my answer is yes. I’m not skeptical now, I believe it has value, but not as much as (standard definition) to HDTV.

Alongside Ultra HD, he said, “4K needs more HDR. it has to be improved.” This effectively means widening the range between the brightest whites and darkest blacks that a display can reproduce—and this is something that companies including Dolby and Technicolor are already aiming to bring to the market.

Huh. He thinks he can compress 2X more than even H265 by pre and post-processing?

He's pretty down on 3D, though.
