4K, HDR and Further Image Enhancements for Live Image Acquisition

Klaus Weber

Image acquisition for live broadcast applications faces many challenges. The increase in spatial resolution for UHD, in combination with the additional requirements of the UHD standards such as an increase in temporal resolution, higher dynamic range, and the need to achieve all of this with a good sensitivity and S/N-ratio will require some compromises and design decisions. This paper will discuss some of the potential solutions to these challenges, and will outline the latest developments in the imaging technology and some new functions in the image processing systems, that give enhanced image performance with improved perceived image sharpness and a higher dynamic range in live broadcast applications.
