YouTube to Add Support for HDR and 360-Degree Video
The keynote presentation was delivered by the YouTube executive Robert Kyncl who announced that the popular video streaming platform will in the future support high-dynemic range (HDR) video as well as 360-degree video. He made a statement that by the end of this decade digital video will become the primary way people consume video content and leave traditional TV technologies in the dust.
Here at TV Installation Toronto, we can certainly see the trends and the changing consumer habits and preferences. My Kyncl's statement is hard to argue with. However, we think that the assault of digital services will not replace the TV set as the way people get their news, sports, and entertainment. However, the customer base of cable TV companies will continue to deteriorate.
