Comcast says they are using high-bitrate HEVC compression to offer "Enhanced 4K" on the Xfinity X1 platform, premiering for the Paris Olympics and available on USA Network. The enhanced video supports Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos at the "highest bitrate," but Comcast would not disclose the max bitrate being delivered. The company says the Enhanced 4K playback is delivered with ultra-low latency "only seconds behind all the live action unfolding in Paris." Comcast said they are comparing their latency against "other streaming services" and that their testing showed it was "comparable to OTA." I can't access Comcast, where I live, so I can't see it, but I'm happy to hear from others in the comments section when they get to see it. #streamingmedia #comcast #codecs #HEVC #4K

I stumbled upon this live episode of FANZON3 this morning with my coffee and a was soon drawn into the full 45-minute episode (a rarity for me). I am bullish on Web3 and think 3D content is the future of commerce and media. Even if you think the Vision Pro is ridiculous looking and/or that the metaverse is stupid, if you are working commerce and media you should listen to this episode too. Joe Farren and Tom Fleetham talk with Simon Thompson, a trail blazing designer and developer. The conversation covers: 1. Why sports is the ideal carrier for 3D content for both audiences AND teams/businesses. ⚽ 🏈 🏉 🎾 2. How Disney's jaw dropping $1.5 billion investment 🤯 in Fortnite will eventually lead to 3D activation at ESPN. + How Simon's company TRICKSHOT is brilliantly pivoting to a platform model (from a production studio model) that will make 3D content creation easy for creatives and content creators. #spatialcomputing #3d #3dassets #sportstech #contentcreation #commerce #media #businessmodelinnovation #nextgeneration

The upcoming summer Games are set to reach new heights with key innovations in both the broadcast booth and the cloud.

Certainly an evolution in the services that will be available in Brazil, but there will always be concerns that the upconversion needs to actually be worthwhile to justify the additional energy consumption - the quality of the resulting content needs to provide something more than SDR.

During the Paris Games, Advanced HDR by Technicolor, Fraunhofer IIS and Globo showcased high dynamic range (HDR) and MPEG-H Audio content that is compliant with Brazil’s TV 2.5 standard on Hisense TVs. The demonstration represents another milestone in the transition from standard to high dynamic range by demonstrating how standard dynamic range (SDR) content can be upconverted to deliver the premium experience sports fans demand in live broadcast of major, global events. https://lnkd.in/ePfBwrpE
