many posters said this would NEVER happen....whoops
HDR. High Dynamic Range images are just as important as, if not more than, resolution. HDR brings images to life with a much wider color gamut and brightness. Color, hues and shades are dramatically richer. Brightness is up to 40 times richer. Contrast is enhanced up to 500 times, bringing a finer sense of dimension with more natural depth and shading. Viewers not only feel the difference, but significantly notice the fine details.
MPEG-DASH. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH), also known as MPEG-DASH, is an adaptive bitrate streaming technique that enables high quality streaming of media content over the Internet. MPEG-DASH works by breaking the content into a sequence of small HTTP-based file segments. Each segment contains a short interval of playback time of content that is potentially many hours in duration, such as a movie or a live broadcast of a sports event. The content is made available at a variety of different bitrates, i.e., alternative segments encoded at different bitrates covering aligned short intervals of playback time are made available. While the content is being played back by an MPEG-DASH client, the client automatically selects from the alternatives the next segment to download and playback based on current network conditions. The client selects the segment with the highest bitrate possible that can be downloaded in time for playback without causing stalls or re-buffering events in the playback. Thus, an MPEG-DASH client can seamlessly adapt to changing network conditions and provide high quality playback with fewer stalls or re-buffering events.
