April Video Tech NYC Meetup

We're back at JW Player this month with a special dual presentation about high-bitdepth video. Join us for an evening of food, beverages, and great conversations about online video.

An overview on 10 bit video: UHDTV, HDR, and coding efficiency

In the past few years, the industry has been trying to improve the end user experience to have a higher spatial (pixels), temporal (framerate) and spectral (bitdepth) resolution. In this talk, we will explore the high-bitdepth element of this improved user experience.Technically, this is usually referred to as 10-bit video, since, historically, the video user experience has been largely based on a 8-bit world. We will explain marketing terms like HDR, UHDTV, explore high bitdepth-support in commonly used video coding software, and showcase how these work together to improve your video coding efficiency and end user experience.

Presenters:
