ATEME, the French MPEG 4 and HEVC compression specialist announced it will showcase 4K-UHD HDR HEVC. ATEME has expanded beyond pure compression (on itself a theme at IBC), and this is not merely a compression solution with a package ID in the MPEG Transport Stream to carry HDR metadata, but a complete HDR distribution system.
Its TITAN File, file based compression transcoding software now comes with High Dynamic Range (HDR) Support. This can be used to compress 4K Blu Rays and streams like the first announced release by Universal earlier this summer. The HDR presets were tuned with leading Hollywood colorists. And the software's output was tested to ensure interoperability with the leading chipset decoders and TV manufactures. The TITAN HDR is based on SMPTE ST 2084 Perceptual Quantizer Electro-Optical Transfer Function and SMPTE ST 2086 color grading metadata, in addition to HEVC UHD and BT.2020 color space.
Satellite Operator Eutelsat did outsource the complete operation of one or more of its 4K demochannels to ATEME, so ATEME seems to have managed to evolve beyond pure MPEG compression. As an example it demonstrated an 360 degree panoramic video system on French TV.

As Peter reported earlier this chain can include Nexguard watermarking http://dci-forum.com/index.php?topic...sg1056#msg1056.
ATEME and Nexguard are not the only ones showing 4K/HDR content watermarking, Conax, the former Telenor owned conditional access specialists, now part of the larger security vendor NAGRA/Kudelski, also said it will show watermarking to meet 'MovieLabs recommendations for Hollywood content'.
"Forensic watermarking: Featuring end-to-end, 4K & UHD compliant Conax-secured forensic watermarking demonstrations - enabling operators interested in acquiring premium 4K and Ultra HD content rights to fulfil MovieLabs recommendations for Hollywood content. Further details about Conax’ secured watermarking architecture will be revealed leading up to IBC Expo". Conax and sister companies may be found in Hall 1 Stand C1.81.
