- Abstract
- To provide an aspect-free television (TV) service that allows viewers to watch more attractive TV programs using various aspect ratios based on the creator’s intent, we investigate the system requirements and specific transmission methods for live production in broadcast stations. We propose the use of a 16:9 active video area in conventional video signals such as high-definition (HD)/ultrahigh-definition-1 (UHD-1) as containers and determine the range that the user-specified aspect ratio video occupies in the container using identifier ancillary data. This method is highly compatible with existing systems and conventional workflows. Scalability using multiple containers is considered in this study.

Yoshitaka Ikeda received BE and ME degrees in electric communication engineering from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. He joined Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK), Tokyo, Japan, in 2011, and established his career as a video and audio engineer engaging in television program production. Since 2014, he has been working for NHK Science and Technology Research Laboratories (STRL), Tokyo, and in charge of the research and development of ultrahigh-definition television systems. He is a member of the Image Information and Television Engineers of Japan (ITE) and the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB).Tomohiro Nakamurabio
Tomohiro Nakamura is a research engineer in the Advanced Television Systems Research Division, NHK STRL. His research focuses on ultrahigh-definition television (UHDTV) systems. His research fields include the development of camera systems, image sensors, and digital signal processing. He joined NHK in 2008 after receiving a BE in electrical engineering and an ME degree in computer science and engineering from Waseda University, Tokyo, in 2006 and 2008, respectively. He has been engaged in the research of UHDTV camera systems since 2012. He is a member of ITE.Kosuke Nomurabio
Kosuke Nomura received BE and ME degrees in electrical engineering from Tokyo University of Science, Tokyo, Japan, in 2010 and 2012, respectively. He joined NHK in 2012. Since 2016, he has been working for NHK STRL and in charge of the research from HDR to SDR dynamic range conversion and psychological impression evaluation regarding various aspect ratio video. He is a member of ITE.Kenichiro Masaokabio
Kenichiro Masaoka is a principal research engineer at NHK STRL. He received a PhD in engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo. He worked with Prof. Mark Fairchild and Prof. Roy Berns for a six-month residency as a visiting scientist at the Munsell Color Science Laboratory, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, NY, in 2012. He is a member of SMPTE. Currently, he is the chair of the Color Metrology Subcommittee and the Spatial Measurements Subcommittee of the International Committee for Display Metrology. He was named a Fellow of the Society for Information Display in 2021.Yuichi Kusakabebio
Yuichi Kusakabe is a senior research engineer at NHK STRL. He is engaged in the research of video system, displays, and coding system for ultrahigh definition television. He has been working on standardization of video system such as HDR in International Telecommunications Union–Radiocommunication (ITU-R) SG6 and the Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB).Satoshi Oodebio
Satoshi Oode joined NHK in 1999, and received a PhD degree in information sciences from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan, in 2019. He is involved in standardization of audio matters including 22.2 multichannel audio and object-based audio and actively participates in International Telecommunication Union–Radiocommunication (ITU-R) WP6B and WP6C, SMPTE, European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and ARIB. He was associated with the work that resulted in the ITU-R specifications for advanced sound systems, including loudspeaker configurations, loudness measurement algorithm, subjective evaluation methods, audio-related metadata (the audio definition model—ADM), its serial representation, audio digital interface, and 64-bit audio file format (BW64). He is currently the vice chair of the ITU-R WP6C and the chair of the ITU-R subworking group 6C-1 Audio, which is developing an advanced sound system and the ADM renderer.Takayuki Yamashitabio
Takayuki Yamashita is currently working on the research, development, and standardization of television systems including UHD/HDR as a senior research engineer at NHK STRL. He codeveloped the world’s first 8K camera system in 2002 and signal interface for UHDTV system in 2013. He joined NHK in 1995 and has been engaged in research on camera systems for broadcasting since 1999. He received the BE and ME degrees from the Kyoto Institute of Technology, Kyoto, Japan, in 1993 and 1995, respectively, and a Dr.Eng. degree from Ehime University, Matsuyama, Japan, in 2016. He is a member of SMPTE and ITE. - Keyword(s)
