7. Ultra HD Forum Plugfest #1 Overview By Eric Grab Ultra HD Forum Board Member and Interoperability Working Group Chair

8. Plugfest #1 Overview I n -person event held in Washington D.C. on March 29-30, 2016. P art of the Forum’s Interoperability Working Group mission. Plugging together real Ultra HD products and seeing how they work - or not - together. A ccelerate UHD adoption. ©2016 Ultra HD Forum

9. Plugfest #1 Participants and Scope Included 9 member s. E ach br ought equipment to test UHD technology . F rom professional capture to consumer display HDR via HLG and PQ , live capture from camera , various devices & displays . ©2016 Ultra HD Forum

10. Plugfest #1 Focused on Action Confidential event Members only Not a demo Finding issues Confirming success Generated some real product updates. ©2016 Ultra HD Forum

11. Plugfest #1 General Workflow Camera Encoder Network / Server Player Display SDI File IP HDMI SDI Player Storage File File Storage File SDI ©2016 Ultra HD Forum - Confidential ©2016 Ultra HD Forum Often many options between each box. Goal: Glass to glass, end-to-end.

12. Plugfest #1 Some Points to Share Former video constants are now variables with UHD and they ripple through the end-to-end workflow.Beyond resolution increase: 8 bit to 10 bit depth, 709 to 2020 color space, HDR signalling. Seeing the picture doesn’t mean it is correct Need to understand content, recognize meaningful areas and test signal usage. Real world testing is invaluable at this stage to understand UHD technology dynamics. ©2016 Ultra HD Forum

13. Plugfest #1 What is next? Plugfest #2, #3, …, #n. M ore formal testing framework M ore complete clip repository. I ntegration with Forum Guidelines for Phase A, B, and beyond. Find patterns of UHD trouble spots, and help members get through them. Work with industry liaisons to share the broader issues . C ontribute to acceleration of Ultra HD products and services. ©2016 Ultra HD Forum

14. Ultra HD Guidelines for 2016 deployments By Madeleine Noland Ultra HD Forum Guidelines Working Group Chair

15. Phase A Guidelines Contents Phases , Timeframes, Use Cases Real-time Linear Services End-to-end Workflow HDR/WCG Technologies PQ, HLG BT.709, BT.2020 Peak Brightness SDR<>HDR Conversions Security Recommendations Production & Post Production Pre-recorded Content Live Content Distribution Supply Chain Contribution Primary Distribution Final Distribution Ad Insertions, Crawl Overlays Decoding & Rendering Backward Compatibility Guidelines coverage

16. UHD Phase A Definition Spatial Resolution 1080p* or 2160p Color Gamut BT.709, BT.2020 Bit Depth 10-bit Dynamic Range SDR, PQ, HLG Frame Rate** 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 Video Codec HEVC, Main 10, Level 5.1 (single lyr ) Audio Channels Stereo or 5.1 multi-channel audio Audio Codec AC-3, EAC-3, HE-ACC, AAC-LC Captions/ Subs Coding (in/out formats) CTA-608/708, ETSI 300 743, ETSI 300 472, SCTE-27 , IMSC1 *1080p together with WCG and HDR fulfills certain use cases for UHD Phase A services and is therefore considered to be an Ultra HD format for the purposes of these guidelines. 1080p without WCG or HDR is considered to be an HD format. The possibility of 1080i or 720p plus HDR and WCG are not considered here. HDR and WCG for multiscreen resolutions may be considered in the future. **Fractional frame rates for 24, 30 and 60 fps are included, but not preferred. Lower frame rates may be best applied to cinematic content. Guidelines coverage

17. Production Guidelines coverage

18. UHD Phase A HDR and WCG HDR10 CTA definition PQ SMPTE ST 2084 definition PQ10 Ultra HD Forum definition PQ EOTF, BT.2020 color gamut,10-bit depth HLG Draft New Rec. BT.[HDR-TV] definition HLG10 Ultra HD Forum definition HLG OETF, BT.2020 color gamut, 10-bit depth Guidelines coverage

19. SDR<>HDR and PQ<>HLG M echanisms used to convert or map between SDR and HDR between HDR technologies Use cases to illustrate where in the distribution chain to convert which conversion method to choose peak brightness considerations Guidelines coverage

20. Mixing HDR with SDR Guidelines coverage

21. Signaling and Metadata Carriage HDR10 metadata carriage work-a-rounds where standards do not yet exist in the workflow e.g . compensate for lack of HDR metadata carriage over SDI Signaling transfer function color container Guidelines coverage

22. “Glass to glass” Distribution C hain End-to-end workflow for real-time linear service live and/or pre-recorded content Production > Broadcast Center > Service Provider > Consumer At each point in the chain describe: compression technologies and bitrate ranges metadata carriage options audio captions and subtitles content manipulation: ad insertion, graphic overlays, etc. Guidelines coverage

23. Decoding and Rendering Consumer decoding and rendering devices Key parameters to process UHD Phase A content Displays, STBs and Interfaces i dentify U HD parameters not carried over HDMI 2.0a timeline of standards development, equipment upgrade possibilities Rendering closed captions or graphic overlays Guidelines coverage

24. Backward C ompatibility Address UHD displays that are SDR only Some process BT.2020, others only BT.709 Various backward compatibility options explained Simulcast, Unicast, Down-conversions Options described in context depending on, e.g.: PQ or HLG Type of service provider Quality requirements STB footprint Guidelines coverage
