GrayMeta Releases Iris 6.0 with Major Enhancements (MESA)

GrayMeta today announced the release of the Iris 6.0 and DHQC for Iris QC Pro. Users of Iris QC Pro DHQC can ingest HDR packages, display metadata – empowering users with subjective and technical validation of HDR media.

Playing out via HDMI and SDI with HDR metadata to a consumer set and switch it for a proper tone mapping – done with a direct connection leveraging tunneling protocol to deliver 2086 metadata direct to set, via HDMI 2.0, without the need for embedders. In addition, Iris QC Pro DHQC can also send metadata to the AJA High 5 device where applicable.

GrayMeta Iris is a studio-grade media player and quality control tool that can load multiple playlists and play all professional media file types, including 4K and IMF packages.
