Abstract
The quality of color television has been dominated by the physics of the cathode ray tube (CRT) in determining the spatial resolution, the image dynamic range, the color gamut, and even the frame rate of the images displayed. Ultrahigh-definition (UHD) as specified in the International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020 (Rec. 2020) was the first standard to partially break free from these constraints; however, it retained the 100 candela/m2 CRT reference brightness limit and the corresponding electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) based on the gamma characteristic of the CRT.

bio
David Brooks works for Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco as senior director, technology strategy in the office of the chief technology officer. He has spent 40 years in consumer electronics and professional broadcast industries, including managing the research programs for Snell in the U.K. and previously for Thomson (now Technicolor) in France and Germany. He has been responsible for many projects including the design of the first HD MPEG-2 chipset to the algorithms behind the Alchemist HD standards converter. Since joining Dolby, Brooks works on the creation, production, delivery and display of both 3D autostereoscopic and high dynamic range /wider color gamut content to the home.
