These specs were put in place well before any official ratification of the four variants of ST 2094 so unless whatever version Philips had previously proposed is identical to the Technicolor HDR system as it stands today then the spec will need a revision, which isn't easy when dealing with 20 board members and dozens & dozens of other involved parties.

Thanks for the link. I wonder why a BDA rep told HDGuru that ST 2094-30 was also optional on the spec. Oh well, 'Philips HDR' is confirmed as already part of the BDA spec at least, and it's now under the Technicolor HDR umbrella. Josh Limor said point blank that Technicolor has an HDR format already on the BDA spec. He must have been specifically referring to ST 2094-20 aka 'Philips HDR'. When the two Technicolor SDKs are released, content creators get two for the price of one. I fully expect "Technicolor HDR" disks by Q3 2018. It seems only Samsung actually needs to have the BDA spec updated so that HDR10+ can be the new standard base layer HDR format. I don't expect any push back from the rest of the BDA on that. Technicolor/Philips are good to go. Maybe they have no point in using St 2094-30 for UHD BD encodes whatsoever, in which case ST 2094-20 will still be used, and since Philips and Technicolor merged all HDR ventures, Philips HDR is set to be marketed to consumers as a forthcoming Technicolor HDR format. No way that Josh Limor was lying about that, or that he was somehow mistaken. It's unthinkable. I expect a CES 2018 announcement, it'll be kind of top-secret till then.
