- Abstract
- In recent years, broadcast research has extensively studied the creation of robust workflows that can produce images for a small variety of target devices. Despite many different broadcasters undertaking such work, the resulting workflows are remarkably similar. Now we can begin to look at how these workflows can be extended to deliver to a wider number of platforms and devices, such as social media sites and mobile phones, and how novel techniques can be utilized to improve our product. By using novel cameras, can we dramatically reduce our power usage at events? By using novel cameras and new metadata in productions, can we create a single format that can work for TV and augmented reality (AR) and can we easily create multiple output formats for a wider range of consumer electronic devices? Is there an easier way to integrate true next-generation audio within current ultrahigh-definition (UHD) production workflows using signaling that already exists?

bio
Simon Thompson has worked at BBC Research and Development, London, U.K., for over 15 years and is currently researching next-generation video systems. He has recently investigated the correct perception of HDR under differing viewing conditions and the practical aspects of HDR production. He has worked with an array of productions including BBC Top Gear, the FIFA World Cup, Wimbledon Tennis, and the recent Royal Wedding of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. He is currently a member of the European Broadcasting Union Video Systems group. He holds a master of engineering degree in electronic engineering from the University of Southampton, Southampton, U.K., and is a chartered engineer. - Keyword(s)
