Dr. Victor Steinberg brings to the VideoQ team many years of experience in the fields of broadcast TV, standards conversion, display processing, de-interlacing, scaling, up- and down-conversion, noise reduction, color correction, AV data analysis, encoding, decoding, transcoding and video data compression.

Victor is a worldwide-recognised expert in TV technology; he was member of national and international committees, received the prestigious USA National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Emmy Award and UK Queen’s Award for Technological Achievement.

Victor invented the industry standard 'Moving Zone Plate' test, published seven books, including the highly acclaimed reference book 'Video Standards: Signals, Formats and Interfaces', wrote multiple articles and holds 49 patents.

In 2005 Victor co-founded VideoQ company and led the team that developed the first version of the VQMA matrix analysis tool. This has since then been extremely successful; taken up by clients such as NASA and Cisco, and is currently on its 4th generation. As of now it supports all formats and frame sizes - from tiny 192x108 up to 8K UHD.

The reference test patterns, that Victor created for the Library of Congress, are used for verification of storage and transcoding workflows since 2013.
In 2014 Victor created the first version of VideoQ Multi-Purpose Chart (VQMPC), which was then used by 1st tier clients, among them Netflix and Olympic Broadcast Services.

With the support of an international group of experts, in 2016 Victor proposed the concept of Unified Reference White. This opened the way to efficient and reliable HDR/SDR display-referred workflows, as opposed to the then dominating concept of scene-referred HDR production.
The URW concept got a great boost when in 2017 ITU released the BT.2111 standard, which sets the same Reference White Levels: 58% for HDR-PQ and 75% for HDR-HLG.

Victor has been the main proponent of Extended Technical Metadata collection from every media asset existing on the planet. For this purpose, during 2015-2020 VideoQ developed a suite of cloud-based modules generating these metadata. The suite was succesfully used by a leading netcasting company. Such data collection systems should become the integral part of global Media Assets Big Data solutions.
