quote:

Researchers at the French research institute Bcom, with the aid of a wunderkind plucked from a nearby university, have developed software that converts existing SDR (standard dynamic range) video into HDR (high dynamic range) video. That is, the software can take almost all of the colour video content produced by humanity over the last 80 years and widen its dynamic range, increasing the brightness, contrast ratio, and number of colours displayed on-screen.
can't wait for HDR Brady Bunch!!!

Hah, I've seen that fuckin thing. It's a neat student project but it's just an FPGA which applies a LUT. The viability of HDR Brady Bunch remains constant.

I thought the conferencing product was different but a Chromecast is a decent, cheap way to add streaming to a dumb TV

you can also make a kinda fun YouTube jukebox for when you have guests - oh right nevermind and see above

VC-5 since it's resolution independent, color space independent, supports 12-bpc + alpha, and has quality sliders from proxy, to visually lossless for full VFX workflow.
