Ultra High Definition Forum releases first guidelines on service deployment

Ultra HD Forum releases first Industry guidelines for deploying end-to-end Live & pre-recorded UHD services in 2016

After 12 months of hard work, the Ultra HD Forum has announced the release of the Phase A Guidelines that are aimed at commercial deployments of Live broadcast & OTT services in 2016. This is a major event for the UHD industry and these guidelines will be able to guide the choices of DVB work for its Phase 2 specification.

Active contributors to these guidelines included Dolby, DTS, Fraunhofer, TPVision, LG, Sony, Ericsson, Arris, Harmonic, DTG, SKY, DirecTV, Nagra, Sigma Designs and Broadcom.

The topics covered in the Guidelines document are complex and evolving rapidly, and as such this is a living document, which the Ultra HD Forum will continue to update. The document will be continuously updated to reflect emerging technology and standards (e.g., MPEG, ITU-R, DVB, ATSC, SMPTE, SCTE, ARIB, SARFT, etc.) as well as best practices collected by Forum members’ experiences and Forum Plugfest events. The Ultra HD Forum has already commenced work on Phase B Guidelines, which will cover technologies and methods expected in 2017 and beyond.
