Ultra HD Forum Guidelines 3

What’s new in the IBC 2023 Version of the UHDF Guidelines document (v3.1).

The new 2023 IBC version of the Ultra HD Forum’s Guidelines (v3.1.0) is a series of short ‘Rainbow Books,’ each focused on one aspect of Ultra HD: definitions, technology, production, distribution, and real-world experiences.

While the core text has not changed significantly from the previous version (3.0), we added further clarity to the HDR and immersive audio sections. Terms such as immersive, ATMOS, E-AC-3 w/JoC, AC-4, MPEG-H, and DTS UHD have been clarified.

Watermarking API for Encoder Integration 1.0.1

This document provides a C-based API for integrating watermarking technologies in content creation workflow, allowing interoperable integration in a transcoder. While initially targeting integration in workflows for ABR content preparation, it is also extendable to other cases. It supports various content format (baseband or compressed).
