"High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances video"

High-dose-rate (HDR) refers to a form of localized radiation therapy that delivers a strong, concentrated beam of radiation to a targeted spot for a short time, often using a temporary implant placed close to a tumor. Investors care because HDR treatments can offer faster procedures, shorter hospital stays and potentially better targeting than traditional options, which can affect adoption of related devices, treatment volumes, reimbursement and therefore a healthcare company's revenue prospects.

"HDR–SDR conversions"

Special Drawing Rights (SDR) are an international reserve asset created by the International Monetary Fund that governments and central banks can use like a backup pool of currency. Their value is calculated from a basket of major currencies, and they can be exchanged between countries for usable money when a nation needs extra liquidity. For investors, SDR allocations affect global currency availability, sovereign debt comfort and confidence in a country's ability to meet obligations—similar to a household having an emergency line of credit that reduces the chance of sudden cash shortfalls.

InterDigital’s HDR showcase spotlights consistent storytelling for premium streaming

WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterDigital, Inc. (Nasdaq: IDCC), a wireless, video, and AI technology research and development company, announced that it will demonstrate advancements in SMPTE standards empowering consistent and interoperable HDR conversions at the SMPTE Media Summit, taking place in Pasadena, California from November 16 - 19.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances video with greater contrast, brightness, and a wider color gamut, qualities that play a key role in preserving creative intent – giving broadcasters and content creators the freedom to tell richer visual stories while maintaining the integrity of artistic choices made during production.

SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata Standard

InterDigital will demonstrate contributions to ST 2094-60, the SMPTE Dynamic Range Conversion Characterization Metadata standard that establishes anchor points and associated metadata to ensure consistent and interoperable HDR conversions across different techniques. SMPTE ST 2094-60 enables reliable and predictable HDR–SDR conversions, from live capture to final delivery, while supporting interoperability across diverse streaming and distribution scenarios.

As HDR becomes a widespread feature of the video ecosystem, InterDigital remains focused on developing technologies that deliver optimal HDR quality for all users, including for SDR and HDR formats and inserted content, like replays and advertisements. Some productions require precisely set and maintained reference levels to support regular conversions between HDR and SDR formats, and InterDigital’s innovative metadata-driven method guarantees consistency and interoperability across conversion techniques.
