Work done in Sapporo outside the specific ITU-T SG16 meeting included defining the requirements for support of HDR and the XYZ color space in HEVC. With regards to HDR (and although not revealed yet on the site - http://mpeg.chiariglione.org/meetings/109 ) it was agreed at the Sapporo meeting to prepare a Call for Evidence in this area in order to achieve a better understanding of the technology available….which, at the current time, consists of several delivery methodologies (Dolby, Technicolor, BBC, etc.) all showcased at a recent technology HDR workshop in Munich.
