A method comprising: accessing a 3D SDR video stream comprising a first view and a second view, wherein the 3D SDR video stream has a first pixel resolution and wherein the views have horizontal black bars or other inactive picture areas; accessing one view of a 3D EDR video stream, wherein the 3D EDR video stream has a second pixel resolution higher than the first pixel resolution and wherein the one view has horizontal black bars or other inactive picture areas; encoding with a first encoder the first view of the 3D SDR video stream to generate a coded BL stream; decoding the coded BL stream to generate a decoded BL video stream; generating a reconstructed SDR stream based on the decoded BL video stream; applying an inverse normalization process and an image registration process to the reconstructed SDR stream to generate a second EDR signal, the inverse normalization process comprising an SDR to EDR mapping process according to an invertible EDR to SDR mapping operator and the image registration process comprising: - accessing the inverse normalized image from the inverse normalization process; and - transforming the inverse normalized image to generate an output image matching the size and characteristics of the one view of the 3D EDR video stream; using a second video encoder, generating a first coded EL stream based on the one view of the 3D EDR video stream having the second pixel resolution and the second EDR signal; and using the second video encoder, generating a second coded EL stream based on the second view of the 3D SDR video stream having the second pixel resolution and the reconstructed SDR stream, wherein the first pixel resolution is an HD resolution and the higher, second pixel resolution is a 4K resolution, wherein the image registration process comprises: a) identifying and removing any horizontal black bars or other inactive picture areas in both the one view of the 3D EDR 4K video stream and the inverse normalized image; b) up-sampling the active picture area of the inverse normalized image to match the size of the active picture area of said one view of the 3D EDR 4K video stream; c) cropping or estimating pixel areas so that the active pixel areas are aligned, and d) reinserting the horizontal black bars or other inactive picture areas to yield the estimate of the second EDR signal. accessing a 3D SDR video stream comprising a first view and a second view, wherein the 3D SDR video stream has a first pixel resolution and wherein the views have horizontal black bars or other inactive picture areas;
