HDR preserves the details of the shadows as well as the

brilliance of sunlit areas and bright reflections

HDR content preserves details in the darkest and brightest areas of a picture that are lost using current standards. It also allows for more natural, true-to-life colors that are closer to how we see them in real life.

Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) is the equivalent of about 6-8 stops, while HDR is a minimum of 12-15 stops. HDR requires a new workflow and HDR-capable display devices to support the expanded color space and dynamic range, as well as new metadata.

With Colorfront Engine™

Over 30 years experience in both production & post workflow

and software development.

UHD/HDR/WCG Processing based on Human Perception

Colorfront Engine™ differs from any other systems because its algorithms are based on how the human eye actually sees the world. Not just a linear mathematics system. The perceived relationship of color and brightness remain constant across differing dynamic ranges, brightnesses and color gamuts.

Monitoring

Physical 3G-SDI and HDMI v1.4 connections
In Single Channel mode
- If output is 4K or UltraHD, Monitor output is down converted to 2K or HD
In Four Channel mode
- Monitor output can follow any one of the four output channels
SDI and HDMI Monitor Outputs have same HDR format as main channel output
HDMI output does not have HDR infoframe generation at first release
