Abstract: In its biggest move since the 1960s, the French Canadian headquarters of the CBC will move out of its current, historical facility into a brand new, all-digital home in 2020. As part of this radical infrastructure change, the CBC has undergone a series of tests on new imaging technologies, to better understand their impact on the viewer as well as the required changes in production and post-production techniques they entail. The tests were designed to validate several engineering and creative challenges facing broadcasters wishing to transition into UHD. Following the successful acquisition of hundreds of reference shots, a post-production workshop helped define the optimal workflows and formats for source archival, mezzanine file generation and OTT / Broadcast distribution formats. A training program is in the works to help creative leads transfer their newly acquired know-how to other members of the CBC. This paper provides insights to broadcasters with significant infrastructure and large teams into how to successfully transition from HD into UHD, and the challenges to expect along the road.
