Nice. Always good to have more HDR content.

What I'm really looking forward to is Netflix's "Our Planet" documentary (from the creators of Planet Earth.) I think that's still a couple of years away, though.

"There are a lot of ambient light situations that fit between the lighting scenario you described and absolute darkness. HDR is not actually bright just because the highlights are bright; the average picture level of HDR mastered content is not explicitly connected to peak highlight levels or the level of the backlight.

Furthermore, HDR with Dynamic metadata does not require that the backlight stay all the way on, that's more function of watching HDR10 mastered content. Indeed, some people think HDR looks a bit dark."

What is this all about?

^ Reminds me, to zmarty, has anyone mentioned/leaked the price of the dual panel Eizo yet?

After reading thee above post ^, this morning, a lenser friend, I think also trying to elicit more info out of me regarding the special announcement from SONY preceding the screening of Le Ride

emailed me this link wrt an interview with Darius Khondji about Okja, which some may find interesting with regards to the Alexa 65 and a change of mindset….. http://www.indiewire.com/2017/05/okj...es-1201830884/

Adding to that ^ envy as to what others have had and continue to have, additionally, from SKY PerfecTV –
20 broadcasted 4K HDR HLG programs….and so far, 1 live football (that’s soccer to U.S. folks who are reading),

The Great Debate in the minds of people who make a real difference (the handful of those in Control):
Does one perform a true and accurate representation of the master grade to work on the various distribution mediums….or, does one embrace the characteristics of each of those various mediums? <- In particular, in other words, as to this forum’s TV-centric viewing interests….should one tailor the grade for consumer HDR TVs differently than the theatrical iteration, for instance, to leverage HDR TVs higher luminance capability? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-ljmv8_T78#t=2m26s

Or strive more so as to maintain creative reproducibility, as much as technologically possible, from cinema to home display presentation.

It’s a struggle……and a dilemma which was touched on in discussion by others at the event in Hollywood last April.

Baring those recommendations from the above presenter, my friends and I have found our own successful program , howling and soaring …..

But since there aren’t any natural mountain bike trails on the Paramount studios lot at Cine Gear, in between the sedentary screenings and seminars (e.g. http://www.streamlinegraphics.com/So...st_online.html ) discussing such things as the value of 16bit depth throughout the production chain for best HDR - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...t#post12993772

Penton-Man said Samsung will be talking about HDR10+ at an upcoming Hollywood event.

The ATSC 3.0 candidate standard for video has been elevated to the standard level:
http://atsc.org/wp-content/uploads/2...Video-HEVC.pdf

Apparently, the HDR video parts of ATSC 3.0 and DVB UHD Phase 2 are basically the same, i.e. "PQ" (i.e. HDR10 with or without static metadata) and "HLG".

Nope…..and they’d better get cracking, as the Dolby marketing machine continues to roll on robustly, for example, just published on YouTube yesterday…..

Dolby Vision for Home Displays - YouTube

Agnostic endorsements for HDR 10+, like from Colorfront are not enough to increase awareness -

NAB 2017: Colorfront's Bruno Munger - YouTube

I’m off to the Cine Gear expo now. We’ve got great weather today and traffic doesn’t look bad at all. In the meantime, question to ponder for the thinkers and lens makers among you…. will full format eventually replace S35 for major motion picture production? I don’t know.

Later.

"Full format" what, Penton? You mean digital capture?

Yes , that’s a logical assumption….to elaborate, digital capture with full frame sensors in high end digital motion picture cameras and which, b.t.w. one will note, my morning’s purposeful lead-in query to readers to ponder preceded by several hours, the special Sony news announcement at the Le Ride bicycle riding movie screening at Cine Gear and also the posting of the closed meeting with invited press folks……http://www.newsshooter.com/2017/06/0...era-next-year/

Geoff, you should know by now that my ‘ponder for the thinkers’ posts involve hints before official public announcements.

The camera rigs also consist of custom built shrouding, expensive stabilized lenses and imho, flawless proprietary RF stuff that I can’t talk about.

Addendum: I highly doubt that one can find the specific information as to the camera rigs which I revealed in the above paragraph by internet googling and such….. so consider this post to be yet another Blu-ray.com forum exclusive.

On the other hand, for you do-it-yourselfers without AMP Visual TV ^ support, there’s the world’s smallest mobile h.265 encoder attached to the top tube of an off the shelf street bike able to encode on the fly and transmit to your buddies….http://solitonsystems.com/wp-content...S-Brochure.pdf

Off to Day 2 of Cine Gear. Later.

For the sake of new readers to this thread and not necessarily our regular contributors…..https://forum.blu-ray.com/misc.php?d...osted&t=276605 as was being explained several days ago to member LordoftheRings, the descriptive quote in the previous post refers to the cameras used to shoot the recently completed Amgen Tour of California, not Le Ride, to be clear.
