EBU TECHNICAL The free lunch: progressive-scan at the same bit rate? (or how I learned to love 1080p/60) David Wood and Hans Hoffmann European Broadcasting Union

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Where’s the deep magic?  The compressed bit needed for 1080p/60 is the same or less than for 1080i/60.  Original scenes always exist in ‘whole pictures’  Interlacing is a form of compression (drop alternate lines with field offset).  Interlacing is a ‘systematic’ compression system (same whatever the contents of the scene).  Hybrid MC DCT is a ‘content adaptive’ compression.  Interlacing is the New England Patriots.  Hybrid MC DCT/Wavelet is the New York Giants.  You know who should win.

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Where’s the deep magic?  An interlaced system combines TWO stages of compression: first interlacing, then hybrid MC DCT.  A progressive system just uses hybrid MC DCT for the total process.  The hybrid MC DCT (redundancy extraction) ‘replaces’ the interlacing.  We replace a ‘systematic system’ with a ‘content adaptive’ system.  The content adaptive system is ‘bound to win’.  The progressive system will always be equal to or better than an interlaced system on average.  Interlace needs half the bit rate of a progressive system only because it already half compressed.

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation That was yesterday....  Interlacing was a brilliant idea in the 1930s.  We used interlaced scanning because it was a simple way to reduce bit rate by 50% when we had no other ways.  We used interlaced scanning because it was a good match to the way a CRT works.  Which of the above apply now?

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Master format: easy to derive 720p/60 and 1080i/30 Higher image quality headroom Multi-genre production 3G-SDI enables 1080p/50 in production and 3D applications (two normal HD signals) Studio compression systems for 1080p/50 on the market Why 1080p/60 production ?

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation EBU Tests on studio compression systems for 1080p/50  Conducted in a project between EBU and industry  Multigeneration testing 1080p/50 (progressive) Gbit/s interface 365 Mbit/sec GByte/hour AVID DNxHD 4:2:2 10 bit Panasonic AVC-Intra 200 4:2:2 10 bit Mbit/sec GByte/hour SONY HDCAM-SR HDCAM-SR lite 4:2:2 10 bit 734 Mbit/sec 322,5 GByte/hour 367 Mbit/sec GByte/hour Graphic Massimo Visca, RAI

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation  Expert Viewing at IRT (1°- 3° March 2011) Dolby 42” PRM-4200 Professional Reference Monitor (1920 x 1080 LCD monitor with LED backlighting). Viewers from more than 10 EBU members

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Snell Alchemist converter 1080p/50 to 1080i/ p/50 to 720p/50 Full Quality HDTV Library

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation  Different encoders provide different performance but, on average, the encoders demonstrated a performance which is nearly transparent to the original even up to the 7th generation.  The tested codecs (1080p/50, 1080i/25, 720p/50) meet the EBU requirements for image quality.  Different encoders provide different quality headroom.  Target applications today: high budget productions. Conclusion:  High quality 1080p/50 production tools are available Expert viewing - Results in a nutshell

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation  The BPN reports The Results

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Step 2: 1080p50 in an End to End Chain  Demonstration at IBC 2011  Live chain including 1080p/50 camera, 2 hops-- contribution codecs and distribution encoder, prototype set-top box  Simulations a 1080i/25 chain was set up using the same bit-rates  Image quality comparison on two Dolby reference Monitors

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation IBC 2011 experiment with live 1080p/50 chain  Live 1080p/50 from Frankfurt to Geneva to Amsterdam

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Towards a single HD production master format:1080p/50  Live 1080p/50 from Frankfurt to Geneva to Amsterdam

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation

Results of the experiment  A end to end 1080p/50 chain is feasible with today’s equipment  Same distribution bit rate as 1080i/25 with better image quality (main benefit is sharpness stays in motion)  Is mainstream production possible? –If manufacturers would reduce prices, yes –But not all editing systems support 1080p/50 yet  In distribution? –Systems such as DVB support 1080p/50 –Many home display with HDMI 1.3 can show 1080p/50 –New set-top boxes/receivers with support of H.264 Level 4.1 would be required

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation HDTV today 1080i/25 (interlaced) p/50 (progressive)  Quality in the home –Larger size display make artefacts more visible –Displays are all progressive – low cost up-converters for interlaced HD –UHDTV displays set to appear in the home –Alternative content (download, Games) better than broadcasts?  Consequently: need for better image delivery format ?

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Is the difference big enough between 1080i/25 and 1080p/50?  Is the difference visible in the home?  On a small display (up to 42”) – likely not  With larger displays, or displays up converting to 4K UHDTV displays – very likely YES  In production to have a future proof master: YES

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation What about an intermediate chain….? Or with HEVC X Mbps 4k Display production chain We would be curious in such an subjective comparission experiment: With H Mbps

EBU TECHNICAL - your reference in media technology and innovation Overall conclusion 1080p/60 may be the best production option for 720p/60 and 1080i/30 delivery Uses ‘3G’ production infrastructures Many broadcasters are wisely “1080p/50 ready” There is no 4K infrastructure available yet Still high prices, not yet ‘mainstream’ Production bit-rates 200…400 Mbit/s Best master format for the next few years until 4K UHDTV is feasible In the home, 1080p60 may be an option for some services - many consumer displays and some receivers can handle 1080p p/50 in distribution could also help a 4k production and home environment.
