HDR

Firmly putting historic technical myths and legends to rest, HDR throws away the rule book and Prin methodically dissected the assumptions engineers have been making for fifty years.

Modern video monitors with 19 stops of range now out class SDR systems showing artefacts and requiring SDR to be re-defined. HDR, wide gamut, colour space, display mapping and bit depths have all been revisited with Dolby being one of the industry leaders in the HDR revolution.

1. Why your TV should talk to your toaster: connected-TV and the 'internet of things'

One of the big draws at television technology shows such as NAB in Las Vegas is the "living room of the future", with its wall-filling, multi-image, interactive TV screen. Such "wallpaper displays" are still, largely, mock-ups, not demonstrations of real services.

But the "internet of things" (IoT) – the multiplication of connected devices, body-worn sensors and Cloud data services – could soon make such TVs a reality.
