TecWatch - the non-commercial exhibition area at IFA - presents technologies for future markets. For that reason the TecWatch hall 11.1 will be yet again an essential stop along the fair round tour for all technology enthusiast amongst the IFA visitors, journalists, experts and decision makers from trade and industry. The Deutsche TV-Plattform dedicates a large part of its extended presence in the halls underneath the radio tower to the topic Ultra HD.
The current state of development and perspectives of Ultra HD will be presented from 5 to 10 September:
The area 'distribution' illustrates that the delivery of content in four times the resolution of HTDV already works over all distribution channels. Various Ultra HD productions delivered via DVB-S2, DVB-C2 and VDSL in the new compression standard HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) will be shown on three Ultra HD displays with built-in tuners or via external receivers.
In the Ultra HD Home Cinema visitors will experience the impressive picture quality by means of a Ultra HD(4K) projector and with 3D audio surround sound, which completes the Ultra HD experience. In the same area, the Deutsche TV-Plattform demonstrates the benefits that the introduction of High Dynamic Range (HDR) will deliver in the form of extended color and higher contrast during phase 2 of the UHD market launch. A further booth area highlights interactive navigation in Ultra HD content: Here consumers can select an individual picture section and watch it on a second screen (e.g. tablet).
These demonstrations will be completed by a two-hour event in the TecWatch Forum on September 6th, starting at 12.30 pm, which will deliver further insights into the Ultra HD trend. Lectures will focus on first practical experience during live productions via satellite, the delivery over modern cable and VDSL infrastructures, interactive navigation as well as how HDR and 3D Audio will further enhance the visual and audible experience. A panel of experts will discuss the apparent question of when and how Ultra HD will eventually evolve into UHDTV.
