Thanks

Geoff , being a fellow UKer, if you’re in contact with mike (I think he still uses carrier pigeons), let him know of the length of his remaining sentence and inform him that the HDR plugins for the color correction system(s) are working just fine.

Nothing in the tech forum, most likely something in the Blu-ray movie critics forum (for North America).

^ Yeah, I just scanned through his last posts…no violations in the Tech Forum

Any posts were probably deleted (or hidden) anyway. My guess it was the Escape From New York, or one of the Shout/Scream Factory, threads that did it.

I'm sure he knows how long he's got left. And being suspended doesn't mean he can't look.

Oh, and it wasn't one of the Shout threads that got him.

I would love to know exactly what happened, if anyone finds out let us know.

Cannes Film Fest begins today, use search word 4K to find flicks that fit that bill….http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/article/61328.html

He was suspended & then created a sock account ~ Big no-no

I’ve got a PM capacity of 1,000 private messages. It’s almost completely full….. can you give me more capacity, or at least inform me step-by-step as to how to selectively delete some of them without emptying the entire folder, which I see is the only option available to me at the top of my PM page. What am I missing, some submenu for deleting messages? I just don’t have time to figure it out.

Penton, to selectively delete messages you'd need to check the checkbox to the right of each message. Then at the bottom of the page select the "Delete" option from the "Selected Messages" combo box and click on the "Go" button to delete the currently marked messages. It's can be a bit of a tedious process though.

Thanks , I never really ventured to the bottom of the page.

Thanks to rdodolak , I cleaned out me PM box a little….back open for private bidness, musings, sharing absurdly boring technological data, etc.

As this has been a good attention-getting week for Blu-ray , in that the internet is a buzz with audio/video *journalists* and those with their own personal blogs reporting on the finalization of the Ultra HD Blu-ray specs, along with flashing that new blue and white logo everywhere/everyhow imaginable…..

I must admit, as an organization, I’m feeling a little sorry for thee ol’ UHD Alliance, which some might argue is of more significance to the UHD consumer ecosystem than the BDA, since it has not restricted itself solely to 4K/UHD physical media as per its vision and goals…. http://www.uhdalliance.org/vision-and-goals/

If not a set of specs or common guidelines, with/without options having clear definitions, will we at least see a logo from the Alliance for UHDA-branded devices before IFA (http://b2b.ifa-berlin.com/) ?

The HDR standard for UHDTV might be finished by July and a few people from the ITU gave reports on how development is going. Also there was recently a conference on ATSC 3.0 though the only video information I could find from it was a presentation slide that was put on Twitter

[Geoff D]

I see they reiterated the difficulty of having HDR content fold down into SDR on the fly without the aid of the usual trim pass. I hope the BDA have nailed it with UHD BD, otherwise there really will be separate UHD+HDR and UHD releases to cater for us pioneers poor saps who've got non-WCG/HDR 4K sets. If they do go down that route then I also hope that the regular UHD disc isn't gimped in terms of bit depth at the very least.

[Geoff D]

As for the broadcasts themselves, I liked the mentions of 10-bit 1080p50/60 because the higher bit depth with the improved temporal resolution can still make a heck of a lot of difference, though they do of course have to be wary of overselling that at the expense of actual 4K material.

Discussing and demoing HDR was a BIG deal (and rightfully so) at NAB 2015. Not revealed by the ITU investigators, but will be interesting to see when it is, will be the precise testing methodology used to perform the quality and effectiveness evaluations of the different HDR solutions.

I noted one inaccuracy….“In the past we used the Dolby PRM 650 reference monitor at 600 Nits”. Either the CTO misspoke or the reporter got it wrong. From over a year ago –

Let's hope for 2016 ultra hdtv's match all the specs of what ultra hd bluray has to offer. At least with the LG OLEDs please.
