Snowfun Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We read a lot about “Hollywood” and indie filmmaking here and how it drives the development of camera gear. But I wonder - is “art” the important factor or is it actually broadcast sport which is the real driver here? BBC showed some WC games in UHD hdr and sport is often displayed on TVs in department stores as a marketing tool. To what extent are developments in gear driven by the sports broadcasters and consumers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonpais Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 A great many Netflix shows are also in HDR. Is it because of sports programming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kye Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 I would answer your question with another question.... Where does the money come from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the question is therefore to what extent do Netflix show hdr programmes because (a substantial proportion/majority of?) consumers have suitable TVs as a result of their consumption of sport?

jonpais Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Could also be value driven - as in my case. The best 4K sets today, like a 55” LG OLED, can be had for $1,500, whereas in the era of HD, the best sets often sold for three times as much.
