RAPIDLY BUILDING A 4K LIBRARY

SONY PICTURES HAS THE LARGEST 4K LIBRARY OF ANY STUDIO• Sony has been working on remastering titles in 4K since 2012.• Collaboration with our TV manufacturing unit has helped us to

anticipate the demand that will be coming for 4K content.• Many recent film and TV programmes have been shot in 4K.

THE CHALLENGE: 100 TITLES IN ONE YEAR

•We had to go back to the original camera negative and original 4k Digital Sources to create 4k Masters

NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO ENHANCE PRODUCTION

THE SONY IMF FORMAT• Interoperable Master Format• Compressed master format allows us to transfer and do

more work with 4K master files.• Overall Benefits of IMF:

• Decreases storage requirements due to compression• Decreases storage and inventory needs when using

component based structures• Maintains High Quality• Can be easily delivered over ethernet networks• Extensible (App2e, App2e+,…)

• Next Gen Spec targeting max brightness 10000 nits– Current: Theater 48nits, HD-TV 100nits (some brighter TV does up to 500nits)– Next gen projection / display HDR capability under discussion

• New transfer curve (Gamma coding is not optimal for HDR)• Minimum 12bit bit depth to avoid banding

HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE (HDR)

•New Digital Camera (e.g. Sony F65, F55)

captures image with much higher dynamic range •New creative

possibilities

• Spectacular highlights,

details in shadows, can be graded to look real.

•Current HD (and 4K/UHD in 2013) uses Rec.709, and xvYCC for wide colour.•ITU-R BT.2020 has wider color

space than HD Standard (Rec.709)

•Next gen to use colour as wide as possible to allow

future displays to reproduce best picture quality.•Bit depth requirements under

evaluation in conjunction with HDR.
