'Creating the HDR Experience': a professional meeting that will analyze the workflow in high dynamic range

Sgo, Canon, AJA and the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona organize 'Creating the HDR Experience', a professional meeting for industry experts.

He high dynamic range (HDR) It is one of the recent technologies that has aroused a lot of interest and demand within the audiovisual industry. The creation of content and the way it is implemented for the user has led to the creation of tools for the management and optimization of HDR workflows.

To analyze its full potential and how to develop workflows, Sgo, Canon, AJA and the Pompeu Fabra University will organize the professional meeting Creating the HDR Experience. It will take place in the Sala Aranyó of the DTIC Campus of the UPF (Carrer de Roc Boronat, 138, Barcelona) next Tuesday May 21 at 4 p.m.

That day, attendees will have the opportunity to learn about each of the stages of an HDR workflow. The images that will be used for the workflow have been captured with the C700 Full Frame camera from Canon.

For its part, AJA will showcase several of its flexible tools that make the work of HDR professionals easier and ensure they can achieve their creative output.
Among the tools to be presented are the analysis and monitoring solution AJA HDR Image Analyzer, the conversor HDR AJA FS-HDR, las AJA Kona cards and external devices AJA I which support HDR and HLG metadata.

Additionally, the AJA Hi5-4K-Plus and Hi5-12G mini converters that make HDR monitoring easier; and the AJA Ki Pro Ultra Plus that allows recording and
playback of HDR content.

Below is the entire color correction process in The mystique of Ultima will be demonstrated by Sgo product specialist, Adrián González, displayed on Canon's reference DP-V2410 4K HDR display. It will present the latest trends in color management and how to take advantage of the ACES color space. You'll also cover how to set up the right environment, apply technical solutions, and use ACES to create deliverables.

Finally there will be a demonstration of the technology created by UPF itself , whose image processing research group for cinema (IP4EC) has developed algorithms for tone mapping, inverse tone mapping and gamut mapping based on recent findings from the field of vision sciences, and which can be applied in the production, post-production and exhibition of content. These advanced methods will be presented with the aim of demonstrating how academic research can offer us automatic solutions to important problems in the film industry that are currently solved manually, or automatically but in a sub-optimal way.
