HDR CONVERTER UPDATE AJA Video Systems has announced free firmware is available for the FS-HDR real-time HDR/WCG converter and frame synchroniser, featuring a new Colorfront Engine TV Mode, v1.4 BBC HLG LUTs and more. The Colorfront Engine TV Mode provides new colour and camera correction essentials, adding knee point and knee slope controls to better managing highlights and roll-off in SDR and HDR (HLG and PQ) conversions, greatly enhancing the image output. With this mode, more HDR image information is accessible for use in SDR down- conversions, and SDR expansion into HDR can be more thoughtfully managed.

customers in the field, taking notes and envisioning new features we can build into firmware releases like v4.0. We’re excited to bring FS-HDR users powerful new features that will simplify their day-to-day production challenges,” said Nick Rashby, president of AJA Video Systems. More than a simple curve, the new mode is powered by an algorithm based on the human visual system that maintains the source colour relationships of the original material though the transform process. To protect the colour fidelity of SDR brand colours used in graphics or in-camera, SDR to HDR and HDR to SDR transforms facilitate seamless round-tripping.

EXPANDED MEDIA IO Primestream has announced major updates to its Media IO application. Media IO is Primestream’s IP-based recording and playout solution for capturing content from virtually any source and then transcoding it live into production, management and delivery workflows. Media IO Server and Media IO Desktop versions now include

expanded support for media ingest in cloud-hosted environments, as well as significant enhancements to performance and user experience. With the updates, Media IO Server now supports 4K UHD capture to drive high-end live production workflows. This provides users with a single capture platform for both HD and 4K UHD signals, simplifying and unifying workflows across the

requirements of multiple departments. Media IO Server also now features expanded format support for real- time video editing, adding support for Apple Final Cut X in addition to Adobe Premiere Pro. Since Media IO captures IP sources live and in real time, editors can preview live streams and edit them within NLE systems even as the video feed is still capturing.
