NAB 2026: Advanced HDR by Technicolor and Amlogic Expand Advanced HDR Integration in Major NEXTGEN TV Converter Boxes

Because our solution can carry SDR and HDR in a single signal, viewers can receive the best possible experience without needing to worry about TV compatibility.”

— Rick Dumont, Advanced HDR by Technicolor

LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Advanced HDR by Technicolor and Amlogic, a leading platform provider in the global system-on-chip (SoC) market, today announced that the Advanced HDR solution will be integrated into major NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) conversion boxes powered by Amlogic platforms. This integration reflects growing industry-wide coordination to increase the availability of ATSC 3.0-compatible devices amid strong U.S. consumer interest in NEXTGEN TV services.

While ATSC 3.0 infrastructure continues its rollout, ecosystem partners are doubling down on the manufacture of NEXTGEN TV converter boxes ensuring greater consumer awareness of and access to enhanced over-the-air (OTA) viewing with high dynamic range (HDR) picture quality. Converter boxes from leading brands, which include: RCA, ZapperBox by BitRouter, MyVeloTV, Zinwell, and ADTH, are using Amlogic platforms to implement Advanced HDR by Technicolor, enabling more viewers to experience HDR from free broadcast television.

The ongoing deployment of NEXTGEN TV (ATSC 3.0) in North America—and the introduction of DTV+ in Brazil, which leverages many elements of ATSC 3.0—signals accelerating global momentum behind next-generation broadcast standards. To enjoy free OTA content in HDR, consumers need an HDR-enabled receiver. By pairing Amlogic-powered converter boxes with Advanced HDR by Technicolor, device makers can help ensure that more households can benefit from improved contrast, brightness, and color performance as broadcasters expand HDR programming.

As a leading system-on-chip manufacturer, Amlogic powers a broad range of operator and retail receiver devices worldwide. This scale helps accelerate ecosystem adoption by enabling multiple converter box manufacturers to deliver consistent HDR experiences on a widely deployed silicon platform.

“As NEXTGEN TV adoption accelerates, consumers expect premium picture quality from free over-the-air broadcasts, including HDR,” said James Xie, SVP, Corporate Business Strategy at Amlogic. “By enabling Advanced HDR by Technicolor on our widely adopted converter box platforms, we’re helping OEM partners bring a consistent, high-quality HDR experience to market faster and at scale—supporting a growing ecosystem of consumer devices.”

“Device manufacturers across the industry are recognizing the impact HDR has on consumer perception of video quality,” said Rick Dumont, head of business development for Advanced HDR by Technicolor. “NEXTGEN TV converter boxes extend ATSC 3.0 reception to TVs that don’t have built-in NEXTGEN TV capability, and integrating Advanced HDR by Technicolor enables consumers to maximize picture quality on compatible displays. Because our solution can carry SDR and HDR in a single signal, viewers can receive the best possible experience without needing to worry about TV compatibility. We look forward to continued partnership with Amlogic and other receiver brands to bring NEXTGEN TV content in Advanced HDR by Technicolor to viewers.”
