Ultra HD/4K Qualification Program Launches: BluFocus Introduces Ultra HD Qualification Program for Industry
Qualification program to ensure Ultra HD content playback is qualified through Industry appointed committee.
Los Angeles, CA — May 06, 2014 — BluFocus Inc., a leading testing and certification company for the entertainment industry, announced today the launch of a unique and Industry essential qualification program to ensure that all areas of the Ultra HD ecosystem have been properly enabled and perform as expected.
Although the final specifications for Ultra HD have not been completed, the format and ecosystem are moving forward rapidly. This introduces challenges due to the range of content and device capabilities and delivery mechanisms, that are and will be available. The BluFocus Ultra HD Qualification program provides the framework for a solution that tests the end-to-end delivery of content, metadata, and playback on devices. This program will continuously adapt to the specification and capabilities of Ultra HD as the technology and specifications progress.
The invite-only Advisory Committee will be comprised of Industry leaders from all areas of the Ultra HD ecosystem and will participate in the development of the testing processes and environments used in the BluFocus Ultra HD Qualification Program. The main goal of the program is to ensure that Ultra HD content playback is qualified through a series of tests across a matrix of devices and environments defined and approved by the Advisory Committee.
“We are excited about the capabilities of Ultra HD and want to help ensure consumers have the best possible viewing experience,” says Juan Reyes, CTO of BluFocus. “We have developed this program to help make that possible. Our collaborative partnerships with Studios and CE companies, along with our involvement with groups such as the BDA, DECE and others, has helped us define this program so that it benefits all parties involved in the Ultra HD ecosystem.”
