Re: New HDR Standard
Completely agree!

A lot of consmers buy things and then never really end up using them or use them very rarely.

New HDR Standard
HDR is great as long as companies develop partnerships and develop standards to ensure the technology functions properly.

However, I don't really see the need for HDR from the consumer perspective. Many consumers have HDTV but don't use it or aren't really concerned about it. I have a HDTV and I see the difference in the picture but I don't run home every night saying, I have to see my X show in HDTV.

Most consumers who have HDTV purchased it based on advertising and not because they really wanted it or needed it. Sometime statistics don't show the real picture. Many consumers purchases services that they don't use, don't want or rarely use it.

Re: Dumb Question
dcawrey,

Strongly agree! Once you've seen HDR you realize how impoverished mere HDTV is (let alone the old analog-low-res color TV).  In fact I'd predict that once it becomes common enough for most people to get a look at it, it will sweep the way color TV did; i.e. just so clearly better that people will find a way to afford it.

Re: Dumb Question
Adi,

The ITU is as you say -- an organization that predates the UN -- but that's not particularly weird. About a third of UN agencies were absorbed from freestanding international bodies or inherited from the League of Nations. That was by design; in 1945 there was a feeling that the League of Nations had tried to do too many things de novo, often duplicating existing successful bodies, and that that had been one of many reasons for its failure.  Hence the UN's organizing principle -- if it already exists and it's working, paint it light blue and bring it on in.

Re: Dumb Question
As someone who takes HDR photos, I understand the implications of this. 

Unlike some other technologies that have flopped in the home like 3D TVs, HDR is something useful. To the eye, it makes things seem more "real" because of color vibrancy. I think once people experience this, they will pay for it.

Re: Dumb Question
The ITU is a weird one - as I understand it, it actually pre-dates the UN. Was set up to coordinate telegraphs sent between countries, and then was absorbed as a UN agency much later. But as @afwriter points out, it seems mostly worked by private sector companies and academic institutions now.

Re: Dumb Question
Thanks so much for the additional detail. I wasn't quite sure how ITU and the UN were connected.
