HDR10+[1] is a High Dynamic Range (HDR) video technology that adds dynamic metadata[2] to HDR10 source files. HDR10+ signals the dynamic range and scene characteristics on a scene-by-scene or even frame-by-frame basis. The display device then uses the dynamic metadata to apply an appropriate tone map through the process of dynamic tone mapping.[3] Dynamic tone mapping differs from static tone mapping by applying a different tone curve from scene-to-scene rather than use a single tone curve for an entire video.[4] HDR10+ is the default variant of dynamic metadata as part of the HDMI 2.1 standard (in Amendment 1 of it).
Dec 10, 2016 The automatic HDR sequences to align photos, both taken by handhold or tripod. The Ghost suppression features make a fine result with moving stuff or people. Even the newbie of HDR photographer can master the HDR skill with the super easy user interface of iFoto HDR. There are multiple methods to save or share the HDR files. HDR10+ technology can support the full range of HDR standards to 10,000 cd/m 2, 8K and BT.2020 color gamut. Being resolution agnostic, metadata needs to be created only once and can be applied to any target resolution. HDMI 2.1 enables Dynamic HDR, but it also needs to be present in the content to work. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ already use dynamic metadata and can pass over a existing HDMI connections. The new logiCAM-FPD3-AR023 video camera features a 2.3 MP AR0231 RCCB video sensor from ON Semiconductor, a small Xilinx Artix FPGA with an integrated Xylon logicBRICKS HDR ISP video pipeline, and TI's FPD-Link III compatible serial interface in a small, only a cubic inch big housing. Experience impressive picture quality with the Sony X85F large screen 4K Android LED/LCD TV, featuring the 4K HDR Processor X1 & 4K X-Reality Pro. Enjoy ultra clear pictures with real world colors on this 4K Android TV featuring the 4K HDR Processor X1 and TRILUMINOS™ Display.
HDR10+ utilizes an HDR10 master file within existing HDR post-production and distribution workflows.
The HDR10+ ecosystem is used within current systems by,
For offline and Video-On-Demand (VOD) (e.g. Ultra-High Definition Blu-ray, Over-The-Top (OTT), Multi-Channel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD)), HDR10+ Metadata may be created during the post-production, mastering process or during transcoding/encoding for distribution back-ends by HDR10+ content generation tools in two steps,
HDR10+ metadata is interchanged through a low complexity JSON-structured text file,[7] which is then parsed and injected into video files.
Live use cases are possible by delivering HDR10+ metadata in every frame. HEVC encoders generate and inject metadata on live content and mobile phones record video and create HDR10+[8] metadata in real-time during recording. Live encoding is detailed in the Live Encoder Workflow diagram and real time broadcast operations are supported at the point of transmission enabling a metadata-less broadcast operation.
HDR10+ metadata follows ITU-T T.35 and can co-exist with other HDR metadata such as HDR10 static metadata that makes HDR10+ content backward compatible[9] with non-HDR10+ TVs. HDR10+ metadata is ignored by devices that do not support the format and video is played back in HDR10.
HDR10+ technology can support the full range of HDR standards to 10,000 cd/m2, 8K and BT.2020 color gamut. Being resolution agnostic, metadata needs to be created only once and can be applied to any target resolution.
HDR10+ is applicable for HEVC and VP9 compatibility via WebM[13] as well as any codec that supports ITU-T T.35 metadata.
HDR10+ Technologies, LLC[14] administers the license and certification program for products that want to adopt HDR10+. HDR10+ Technologies, LLC provides the technical specifications, test specifications, and certified logo.
Certification of products is done through Authorized Test Centers. The following are a list of HDR10+ Authorized Test Centers,
Certified product[17] categories include:
After the compensation of alignment and ghost reduction, photos with different exposures will be merged into a digital HDR negative, which is also called a 32-bit float pointing radiance map in the HDR imaging workflow. Compared with conventional 8-bit image formats like JPEG or BMP, the 32-bit float pointing format has the capability to record a much wider range of values, and can thus accurately capture the full dynamic range of the real world. However, a 32-bit float pointing value cannot be displayed or printed on current 8-bit monitors or printers. Therefore, although a 32-bit float pointing radiance map records extremely accurate values, at this stage they are just meaningless numbers from the user's perspective because the results cannot be seen. 'Tone Mapping' is the technology used to convert a 32-bit float pointing format to 8-bit images for display or print. Since 32-bit float pointing radiance map is also referred to as the digital HDR negative, Tone Mapping can be regarded as a kind of photo development, but for digital photos.
