InterDigital Makes Debut at IBC 2019 With Next-Generation Immersive Video Technologies
September 13 2019 - 10:10AM
InterDigital, Inc. (NASDAQ:IDCC), a mobile and video technology
research and development company, today announces that it will be
making its debut at this year’s IBC Show taking place on 13-17
September, 2019. Following the acquisition of Technicolor’s
Research & Innovation business earlier this year, InterDigital
R&I (located at IBC Stand 14.B38) will be showcasing a range of
technologies and video standards that support the next generation
of immersive video experiences including its innovative Home
Experience Lab, Imaging Science Lab and Immersive Lab.
The InterDigital R&I Home Experience Lab is
focused on developing technologies that improve the user experience
in the home, as well as future connected home technologies,
including ultra-low latency streaming solutions that can meet the
most demanding application needs. It will present:
- Six Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) Volumetric
Streaming: Immersive 6DoF Volumetric Streaming is much
larger than traditional flat, or even 360-degree videos, and
therefore cannot be streamed over existing networks. InterDigital
will demonstrate a fully immersive 6DoF experience compatible with
current network infrastructures, by only streaming the viewer’s
point-of-view content over the network.
The InterDigital R&I Imaging Science Lab
develops cutting-edge tools to analyze, process, represent,
compress and render content that enable the production and delivery
of high-quality real and synthetic images. At IBC, its
demonstrations will include:
- Point Cloud Compression (PCC): PCC is one of
the most exciting and multi-purpose visual technologies being
developed today. InterDigital R&I will demonstrate the first
MPEG codec for PCC, which obtains data rates and file sizes that
can be economically used by industry, by using cloud-decoding of VR
content on a commercially available smartphone.
- Versatile Video Coding (VVC): The VVC
standard, which is set to be published in 2020, provides
significant compression efficiency compared to the High Efficiency
Video Coding (HEVC) standard that was published in 2013.
InterDigital R&I will showcase the versatility of the VVC
standard on Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), High Dynamic Range (HDR)
as well as immersive, 360-degree video content.
The InterDigital R&I Immersive Lab focuses
on the development of technologies to enhance immersive experiences
that will meet the interactive media demands of the future.
InterDigital will showcase:
- Digital Double: InterDigital R&I has
developed a dedicated facial animation control for expression
transfer (FACET) tool, which streamlines 3D facial animation for
VFX and animation artists. From a single shot of 14 pictures,
InterDigital’s FACET technology can create a textured model of a
digital face within 25 minutes. At IBC, InterDigital will show how
it automatically creates high quality ‘digital doubles’, which can
be used as secondary characters in movie production.
- MPEG Metadata for Immersive Video: Volumetric
video gives users an enhanced immersion into content by allowing
them to experience sensations of depth and parallax. InterDigital
will showcase its MPEG Metadata for Immersive Video distribution
format through several video types and Virtual Reality (VR)
experiences.
“5G is generating huge expectations for the
types of video content that will be feasible in this new era.
InterDigital R&I is focused on developing new technologies and
standards that can maximize the ultra-low latency of these
networks, and bring fully immersive content experiences to users,”
said Henry Tirri, CTO and EVP of Research and Development at
InterDigital. “At IBC, we will be showcasing a range of
technologies that highlight our research and innovation, including
the development of pioneering compression solutions that can be
used in today’s networks, as well as the streaming solutions that
provide immersive experiences like never before.”
InterDigital will be participating in a panel session on the
‘Technological innovation in the digital domain’, taking place on
Friday 13 September at 15:30 in the IBC Content Everywhere Theatre
at which Laurent Depersin, Director at InterDigital R&I Home
Experience Lab, will join peers from VoiceInteraction and Haivision
to discuss the innovations needed to support high resolution and
intensive data applications for video content of the future.
