![]() HDR PROJECTS STANDARD TVNote: This was not the Queens' Speech that went out in 4K Metadata problemsĪt the core of the problem with bringing HDR as it currently exists to broadcast TV is metadata. If you need any further evidence of how easy streaming is compared to broadcast TV, the BBC told me that the Queens' Speech (a yearly broadcast that goes out on Christmas Day in the UK) was actually available to the public in Ultra HD back in 2014 for people who knew where to look. You browse an interactive menu, select an item to watch, the screen goes black while it loads, you watch a program, and then even if the next show in the season plays automatically the screen still goes black for a moment while the next file is loaded.Īfter all, when was the last time you were watching a live TV broadcast that went black to load the next show? More complicated still is the fact that since the BBC has regional coverage across the UK, these feeds will have to diverge at regular intervals, again without any interruption to the viewing experience. The BBC might cut from highlights of a cycling race which is overlaid with the BBC's own graphics and audio commentary, to a studio segment shot in a BBC studio, to another live event.Īt the end of all this coverage the feed needs to then switch to whatever content is next up on the channel, all without a single bit of interruption for the user. It adds its own graphics, its own commentary, and it splices this shared footage of the event itself together with its own coverage. What then happens is an organisation such as the BBC takes these live feeds and runs them into its own coverage centres. ![]()
