Hitomi Broadcast will showcase Spectra at IBC2026, a new HDR colour verification system designed to identify errors in live video workflows without relying on metadata.
According to the company, the new system expands Hitomi’s reach beyond timing and synchronisation.
Spectra will generate a defined set of test colours at the source, send them through the normal programme route and analyse them at the end. By comparing the two, it can highlight incorrect LUTs, unexpected conversions and routing errors between SDR and HDR paths.

Live workflows now carry more formats and versions through a facility. As signals pass through converters, routers, processors, LUTs and software workflows, one configuration error can leave the programme technically wrong even when the picture looks acceptable.
Russell Johnson, Director, Hitomi, said: “In the pressure of set-up, errors in a video source can be missed because there is a recognisable picture. If the colour path is wrong, that problem can travel through the workflow and affect the final programme.”
