WMG has announced a pair of HDR video technologies aimed to redefine modern video: the world’s first true HDR video camera and the world’s largest HDR display. But their advances don’t end there, as the special HDR camera is capable of 20 f-stops, 1080p resolution at 30fps, which generates a whopping 42Gig per minute of footage. That’s far too much for any modern system to manage, so they created a new compression algorithm they call “goHDR”:
goHDR has developed a powerful encoding algorithm. The algorithm provides:
- Substantial compression of more than 100:1
- Preservation of high quality details, allowing high quality compressed digital negatives (important for the cinema industry)
- Very fast decompression method using the power of modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
Technical details are light, but they have a bit of information on their site.
