PHABRIX said it contributed to the trial by providing its Qx rasterizers, in more than 20 live HDR trials, to develop and refine a live production workflow for the launch of BT Sport Ultimate, the unit’s new ultra‑high definition, HDR, and Dolby Atmos-supported premium channel (BTwatch, #306).

The trial included tests of HDR for the BT Sport App for mobile devices.
