With Technicolor ITM (Intelligent Tone Management), the BBright video engine enhances workflow flexibility by enabling real-time SDR-to-HDR and HDR-to-SDR conversions for baseband inputs, media files, and inserted graphics, ensuring high-quality video across all formats and distribution channels.

By leveraging the latest innovations and the flexibility of ST 2110, Integrated Playout enables the creation of a metadata “highway” from post-production all the way to distribution. Thanks to support for ST 2110-41, BBright’s playout now enables:

  • Native preservation of both video and audio post-production metadata (including ST 2110-41, ISXD, SADM, and MPEG-H Audio metadata), using an open standard that opens the door to numerous future applications.
  • Frame-accurate switching between live events, legacy content (HD/SDR/stereo), and premium assets (e.g., Dolby Vision and Atmos), made possible by the real-time transport of metadata via ST 2110-41.
  • Improved accessibility, thanks to support for more audio tracks, subtitles, and audio description. With support for up to 128 audio channels, the system goes far beyond current industry standards.
