Thomson Video Networks Experiments the Ultra High Definition at the Volvo Ocean Race 2015

A world's first demonstration of a UltraHD HDR TV channel during the French step of the Volvo Ocean Race which happened in Lorient, with several players of the Digital Industry including Thomson Video Networks.

This world premiere of a UHD HDR broadcast at 50 images per second was displayed on the Brittany Region booth at the race village. This state-of-the-art technology was developed in Brittany (UHD, HEVC, DVB-T2) to optimize image quality and bandwidth on the end-to-end content value chain from capture to broadcast. The Ultra HD HDR and HFR video streams were captured by UHD cameras before the race. The post-production, bandwidth and compression standards used also demonstrate the real technological breakthrough.

Thomson Video Networks was one of the first leading company to investigate the HDR through the NEVEX collaborative project in 2013, with the demonstration of HDR video coding to HD format and AVC compatible with an existing broadcast network explains Eric Auffret, Innovation Programs Manager at Thomson Video Networks. This new trial shows our know-how and skills in the video compression sector and our expertise in the latest technology regarding UHD 50p and HEVC in our ViBE encoders' range he adds.
