| HDR technology and how to improve the quality of visual content |
In recent years, the importance of visual content has grown exponentially. This is due to the proliferation of electronic devices in various forms, from smartphones to televisions. Several technologies have emerged to improve the quality of content, including HDR.
HDR technology was criticized against 3D TV technology at the beginning of its era and did not find the expected success. However, it has been found to be very effective in improving the quality of visual content across different devices and platforms.
The term HDR is the full acronym for the technology, i.e. High Dynamic Range/Motion. Since the invention of high dynamic range/motion technology, this technology has been described as the most important technology in the field of visual content, especially in the field of video. The quality appears in high definition. This technology is used for still photos and videos.
This technology provides the best lighting in photos and videos, as well as the best possible saturation and color accuracy. This becomes clear when you look at the bright and dark spots in tech support content.
This shows the huge contrast between light and dark, as the dark areas under strong illumination of the lighting areas of the image content are very opaque. This technology has appeared in various genres such as HDR10, HDR10 +, and Dolby Vision.
HDR Features and Types
As mentioned above, this technology relies on providing the highest possible brightness, contrast and color depth. In addition, its role with OLED screens is becoming more important and more common, as they provide high contrast as a standard.
Currently, HDR10 is the most popular standard, especially on TV. The number 10 stands for the 10-bit color space. Dolby Vision is the main competitor to this standard, and this technology includes all the features and add-ons of HDR10. The most notable feature is the dynamic range control function in each scene.
Dolby Vision has support for content produced with the same HDR technology, while HDR10 does not support Dolby Vision content.
On the other hand, one of the most important standards currently is HDR10+, which is an open standard in development. Not only is it cheaper for manufacturers, but it also has all the functions and features of Dolby Vision.
Users can watch HDR-compatible content through a 4K Blu-ray player. Support content for this technology is also shown on platforms such as Netflix and Amazon. The monitor must also fully support this technology.
