The problem is that it is all cutting edge technology ... And at base band about 100 Gbit/sec.
And who makes either camera or display with BT 2020 colorimetry yet ??
It has taken a lot to persuade people that HDR is needed...
And the BBC R&D work on HFR is6 years old....
Basically as most broadcasters have been getting HD working.
They have not been looking at UHD , particularly that uhd1 came along ..
Everyone was looking at UHD 2 from the NHK SHV ..... With a launch date if 2022 to celebrate their centennial ...
But the Tokyo Olympics happened,,, and 4k as pushed by the CE industry,
This time they know they cannot afford to get it as wrong as HD was.
It all takes time ti get a standard and profile/shims that lasts as we all expect our hardware it have say 5 plus years life.
One could say that bt2020 which is getting on for three years old is the standard
just as BT 709 was in 1993 .... Some 9 years before regular ATSC transmissions .
