WILMINGTON, Del., April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a wireless, video and AI technology research and development company, announced that it will showcase innovation and expertise underpinning HDR for advanced streaming at NAB 2026.
High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology delivers video content with improved contrast, brightness, and color range, which has accelerated its adoption in both production and distribution. InterDigital’s HDR innovation technologies enable the creation of premium HDR and standard dynamic range (SDR) content in a single production workflow, allowing broadcasters and streaming providers to meet consumers’ growing demands for high-quality HDR content, especially premium live sport content enhanced with more vibrant colors, detail, and contrast.
HDR Master Production for Advanced Streaming
At NAB 2026, InterDigital will demonstrate “HDR Master Production for Advanced Streaming,” a conversion solution driven by the latest SMPTE metadata standards and that supports HDR content streaming with ad insertion mechanisms. As interest in premium HDR content continues to grow, InterDigital remains focused on developing technologies that deliver optimal HDR quality for all users and across the delivery workflow, including for SDR and HDR formats and inserted content like replays and advertisements. Experience InterDigital’s innovation at the Streaming Video Technology Alliance (SVTA) booth #C4449-E.
HDR Master Workflows – The Unmet Interoperability Challenge
As part of NAB’s Broadcast Engineering and IT (BEIT) Conference, InterDigital’s Principal Engineer David Touze will present on “HDR Master Workflows – The Unmet Interoperability Challenge,” on Tuesday, April 21 at 9:30 – 9:50 a.m. PT in Room N256. David will explain that some productions, especially live sports, require precisely set and consistently maintained reference levels to support regular conversions between HDR and SDR formats, and InterDigital’s innovative metadata-driven method, formalized in the SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata ST 2094-60 project, allows conversion consistency and guarantees interoperability between conversion techniques.
