2. HDR vs. SDR: Long-term Peaceful Coexistence ?
HDR10 Rendered in accordance with the metadata
HDR10 to SDR Converted & rendered by VideoQ
The rendition of HDR images by HDR displays relies on the corresponding metadata. In fact, without such metadata proper reproduction of HDR images is not possible.
What is good for a darkened theatre may be quite sub-optimal for a living room with lights on.

3. HDR vs. SDR: Long-term Peaceful Coexistence ?
Conversion of HDR imagery to SDR format is a serious challenge, especially when you need to automate optimal tone-mapping without continuous back-and-forth human intervention.
It requires continuous calculations of the actual content’s Light Levels, and normalizing and mapping image gradations, checking, adjusting and editing metadata in sync with the imagery.

VideoQ Cloud Robots
In an automated environment, a smaller number of human operators should focus only on optional final checks or complicated cases.
The lion’s share of the hard work should be done by cloud-based automated processors and quality assurance or quality control tools.
These software tools should also provide indicators presenting all relevant parameters in a manner that is time-saving, clearly understood, and “easy to spot at a glance.”

5. Which Type Of Control You Prefer ?
What can you do with manual video processors control and visual QC? A few video titles per day?
Traditional professional image & sound processing controls, and traditional quality control methods requiring a large number of high-grade video & audio monitors, are no longer the answer,
Yet some human involvement is still needed.
When a modern pilot controls a modern jetliner, its networks of smart electronic sensors, smart dashboard indicators, and smart auto-pilot software are vitally important. At VideoQ we call them “Productivity Tools”. Final decisions are always up to the pilot.
Therefore our slogan is “Robot-assisted human decisions.”
