The video industry is actively moving towards 4K HDR/WCG content creation. There are innumerable facilities under construction using these technologies. However, if you want to successfully create HDR/WCG content, you must have the appropriate tools and new measurement technologies. For example, camera settings It is more critical than in the past because of problems that cannot be repaired in post-production (such as noise in dark areas). Also use new techniques to monitor various camera log formats and to PQ (perceptual quantization) or HLG (Hybrid logarithmic gamma conversion). 'HDR/WCG content production represents the future direction of development. Tektronix has launched a complete monitoring solution to meet the needs of a new generation of media to provide commercial broadcast broadcasting companies, so that they can provide differentiation. Services. 'Charlie Dunn, general manager of Tektronix' video product line, said: 'Whether it is live or post-production, Tektronix has provided customers with confidence that their content will stand out from the competition.'
4KHDR/WCG enhancements include Tektronix full-line waveform monitors and PRISM hybrid SDI/IP media analysis platforms. Key features include:
WFM/WVR5200 - With the purchase of the PROD option, the HDR can now be used on this smaller, lower-cost instrument with a depth of only 5.5 inches, making it particularly suitable for small OB vehicles. Its enhancements include: New camera logs Marking lines, HDR markings developed specifically for PQ and HLG, and capable of supporting 4K on a 2-SI (interleaved sampling) signal link.
WFM/WVR8300, WFM/WVR8200, WFM/WVR7200 – These instruments now extend support for HDR, including the HLG1000 reticle used in live broadcasts, and support for effective image areas and Dolby E measurements. It also includes brightness and color Domain and user can choose the HDR limit.
The Tektronix Waveform Monitor offers flexible options and can be installed and upgraded in the field to monitor various video and audio formats. It supports 4K/UHDTV1 (4096x2160 and 3840*2160), 3G-SDI, and double-stranded video formats. Road, HD-SDI and hybrid analog formats, supported audio formats are Dolby E, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, AES/EBU, embedded audio and analog audio.
PRISM - This platform provides extensive connectivity for IP and SDI systems, provides a new solution for lighting setup, HDR signal measurement, and automatic conversion between various transfer functions and color spaces. New STOP display capability is simplified HDR camera exposure settings help operators avoid unexpected bright clipping or shadow noise too high. New software now supports conversion from ITU BT.2020 to ITU BT.709, and from S-Log, LogC, PQ and HLG Convert to ITU BT.709, can be applied to image, waveform, vector and diamond display. Users can create HDR/WCG content using familiar display in ITU BT.709 color space.
Thanks to the latest enhancements, PRISM is the perfect production tool solution for creating 4K, HDR/WCG content. Through PRISM, photographers shooting live sports or melodrama, color correction engineers and operators can use various output signal characteristics to quickly calibrate And balance more than one camera. PRISM is also particularly suitable for OB trucks and production studio camera acquisition applications.
Availability The latest HDR/WCG capabilities can be easily added to PRISM and existing Tektronix waveform monitors, now purchase option PROD (field-upgradeable software-only option) is available. With PROD existing software option key license Customers can upgrade the instrument for free using the new firmware. New firmware can be downloaded from tek.com.
