Rohde & Schwarz presents new HLG test solution for
latest-generation video consumer electronics
in combination with Intel CPU and
FPGA technologies, forms the Central
Computing Platform to be integrated
into each autonomous vehicle.
Mobileye will further collaborate with
the BMW Group to develop the sensor
fusion solution, creating a full model
of the environment surrounding the
vehicle, using input from vision,
radar, and lidar sensors. As well as
establishing a driving policy, including
Mobileye’s reinforcement learning algorithms used to endow the
vehicle system with the artificial intelligence required to safely
negotiate complex driving situations.
To further propel the development of the autonomous platform,
the partnership plans to release hardware samples and software
updates in the upcoming years. The BMW iNEXT model, which
will be introduced in 2021, will be the foundation for BMW Group’s
autonomous driving strategy. Following this vehicle, a range of
highly automated models from all BMW Group brands will follow.
Rohde & Schwarz is expanding its
R&S VTx video tester family to include
tests for HLG-capable devices in line
with the HDMI 2.0b standard. Hybrid
Log-Gamma (HLG) is an enhancement
to the high dynamic range (HDR)
technique that allows good-quality
replay of state-of-the-art picture
material even on non-HDR-capable
devices. This is a crucial factor in the
successful introduction of the spectacular HDR technique for a
more intensive and realistic home theater experience.
The Rohde & Schwarz R&S VTC/VTE/VTS video tester family
is an innovative solution for testing the performance and
interoperability of future generations of HDR/HLG-capable video
consumer electronics. It is based on the recently introduced
flexible T&M module for HDMI and HDR tests. The new module
offers generator and analyzer functionality for data rates up to 18
Gbit/s as well as functions such as scrambling introduced with the
new HDMI standard. Now it can also test HLG-capable devices.
This includes testing and emulation of the signaling function and
the generation of new test patterns.
The solution is downward compatible
with HDMI 1.4 and supports HDCP
1.4 and HDCP 2.2. It covers realtime
protocol testing and compliance
testing in line with HDMI CTS 1.4/2.0,
providing users with a test tool that
can be used in various applications
throughout the consumer electronics
value chain.
The generator function can be used to edit the Dynamic Range
and Mastering InfoFrame specifically for HDR and HLG. It displays
the Enhanced Extended Display Identification Data (E-EDID) of
the connected sink, including the HDR metadata block. It also
permits the playback of customer-specific, uncompressed moving
picture sequences. The analyzer unit provides suitable E-EDID
and displays the Dynamic Range and Mastering InfoFrame. The
video analyzer functionality provides bit-accurate display of the
electro-optical transfer function (EOTF) in use. HDR CTS tests are
available for both the generator and the analyzer.
