In particular, broadcasters that have recently launched new4K services and channelsare looking for content to distribute. While such broadcasters are perceiving a demand for native 4K content, ahead of an adequate amount of development and production time, one efficient solution may be to upscale existing HD content to create believable 4K images. |

Apart from noise reduction, HD-UHD conversion and image scaling generally,Dark Energyis texture-aware and optimizes images for low bitrate delivery over standard internet-based distribution networks. Based on motion compensation, Dark Energy can achieve a 20 to 40 per cent reduction in bitrate requirements for equivalent quality images. This capability can translate into lower cost where content owners are paying per megabit to distribute content, and is also valuable in regions where bandwidth provision is an issue. |
