At SMPTE Media Technology Summit, InterDigital Validates Metadata Standard Underpinning HDR For Premium Video Across Creator Ecosystem

By GlobeNewswire

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a wireless, video, and AI technology research and development company, announced that it will demonstrate advancements in SMPTE standards empowering consistent and interoperable HDR conversions at the SMPTE Media Summit, taking place in Pasadena, California from November 16 - 19.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances video with greater contrast, brightness, and a wider color gamut, qualities that play a key role in preserving creative intent – giving broadcasters and content creators the freedom to tell richer visual stories while maintaining the integrity of artistic choices made during production.

SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata Standard

InterDigital will demonstrate contributions to ST 2094-60, the SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata standard that establishes anchor points and associated metadata to ensure consistent and interoperable HDR conversions across different techniques. SMPTE ST 2094-60 enables reliable and predictable HDR–SDR conversions, from live capture to final delivery, while supporting interoperability across diverse streaming and distribution scenarios.

As HDR becomes a widespread feature of the video ecosystem, InterDigital remains focused on developing technologies that deliver optimal HDR quality for all users, including for SDR and HDR formats and inserted content, like replays and advertisements. Some productions require precisely set and maintained reference levels to support regular conversions between HDR and SDR formats, and InterDigital’s innovative metadata-driven method guarantees consistency and interoperability across conversion techniques.
