HDR-Colour Volume – Colour difference metrics in 3D
With the move from SDR to HDR colours and the corresponding higher luminance range of HDR there seems to be a need to visualise and evaluate certain measurements in 3D as well.

UHD – what it is about!
Ultra-High Definition – better known as UHD – has been a common term for several years. With it, television viewers benefit from a higher picture quality. But what exactly is behind UHD? We have examined UHD in more detail and with the help of an extensive subjective test we found out which visual factors have …
UHD? HDR? 4k or 8k? – What’s correct?
There is a large confusion about the different TV-systems we are all talking and writing about. Is it UHD? Is it 4k or 8k? Is it with or without High Dynamic Range (HDR)? And what about the colour space? Where is what defined? Is it possible to agree on a common wording? Looking into the …
IRT & LMU Cooperation: Augmented Reality in the Broadcast World
The hype about Augmented Reality (AR) is slightly going down even though the advantages remain. Especially for broadcasters the advantages of AR can be used in a variety of domains, like material planning, broadcast production, graphic development and marketing. However, AR is still a new territory for editorial and production staff. We, at the IRT, …
TV-Based Augmented Learning
Augmented Reality (AR) is hyped for some years now and shows a lot of potential. Among other advantages, there were already successes in the educational system with the use of AR to teach factual content. In 2019 IRT investigated the integration of an AR application into educational television in the form of a student thesis. …
HDR-Colour Volume – Colour Space Visualization in 3D
Ultra-High Definition Television (UHDTV) as it is specified in ITU-R BT.2100 consists of four main features compared to the current legacy HDTV format (High Definition Television): High Resolution (e.g. 2160 lines, progressive only) High Frame Rate (HFR) High Dynamic Range (HDR) Wide Colour Gamut (WCG). Investigations and various demonstrations (e.g. at IFA or IBC 2019 …
iOS Spectator View: AR in the TV production
Graphical visualization and 3D simulations in TV shows are well suited for explaining abstract concepts and progresses. Since the 1960s the blue/greenscreen-technique is used in German productions to add graphics. Within the last ten years many broadcasters used virtual studios for their production. To escape the “green hell”, Augmented Reality (AR) has gotten more popular …
Microsoft’s Spectator View in Broadcasting Production
Interactive 3D simulations are particularly well suited for explaining abstract concepts and processes in information programmes. However, the interaction with such objects is difficult in a conventional TV production, as the objects usually remain hidden from the presenter, for instance in a virtual studio. With the help of Microsoft’s HoloLens, an augmented reality glasses, users …
