If you want to upgrade your perceived video quality, the best return on investment is High Dynamic Range (HDR) with the deeper color experience provided by Wide Color Gamut (WCG). 

The best approach is to produce in HDR however, there are always legacy SDR sources and content that needs to be integrated into this workflow. For basic static conversion Cobalt has real-time 3D-LUT support, and you can use pre-defined LUTs from NBCU and BBC, or your own. For a more advanced dynamic conversion, Cobalt’s 9904-UDX integrated with AHDR technology can analyze the content scene-by-scene and optimize the conversion process.

Once you have produced your HDR content, you may need to create an SDR version to support legacy devices. Cobalt has multiple options for this, including 3D-LUTs for basic static conversion. And, at emission, the Cobalt PACIFIC 9992-ENC/DEC series of encoders and decoders have full support for the required HDR signaling.

Cobalt also offers all the HDR processing natively in ST 2110-enabled devices, which include the legacy SDI interfaces.  This is offered as the INDIGO interface to the quad-channel 9905-MPx HD or the 9904-UDX 4K processors, the INDIGO interface to the PACIFIC 9992-ENC series and the upcoming INDIGO 2110 standalone gateway.
