Video technology that adds dynamic metadata to HDR10 source files
HDR10+
[1]
is a
high dynamic range
(HDR) video technology that adds
dynamic metadata
[2]
to
HDR10
source files. The dynamic metadata are used to adjust and optimize each frame of the HDR video to the consumer display's capabilities in a way based on the content creator's intentions.
[
promotion?
]
HDR10+ is an alternative to
Dolby Vision
, which also uses dynamic metadata.
[3]
HDR10+ is the default variant of dynamic metadata as part of the
HDMI 2.1
standard.
[4]
HDR10+ Adaptive
is an update designed to optimize HDR10+ content according to the
ambient light
.

Description
[
edit
]
HDR10+, also known as HDR10 Plus, was announced on 20 April 2017, by Samsung and Amazon Video. HDR10+ updates HDR10 by adding dynamic metadata that can be used to more accurately adjust brightness levels up to the full range of PQ code values (10,000 nits maximum brightness) on a scene-by-scene or frame-by-frame basis.

The technology is standardized and defined in
SMPTE ST 2094
-40.

HDR10+ is an open standard

and is
royalty-free
; it is supported by a growing list of post-production software and tools.

[9]
HDR10+ specifications are not publicly available. A certification and logo program for HDR10+ device manufacturers is available with an annual administration fee for certain adopter categories and no per-unit royalty.
[13]
Authorized test centers conduct certification testing for HDR10+ devices.
[13]
On 28 August 2017, Samsung, Panasonic, and
20th Century Fox
created the
HDR10+ Technologies LLC
[14]
to promote the HDR10+ standard.
[15]
HDR10+ video started being offered by
Amazon Video
on 13 December 2017.
[16]
On 5 January 2018,
Warner Bros.
announced their support for the HDR10+ standard.
[17]
On 6 January 2018, Panasonic announced
Ultra HD Blu-ray
players with support for HDR10+.
[18]
On 4 April 2019, Universal Pictures Home Entertainment announced a technology collaboration with Samsung Electronics to release new titles mastered with HDR10+.
[19]
It is considered
[
by whom?
]
to have most of the advantages of Dolby Vision over HDR10, as well as being royalty free.

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.
[20]
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.
[21]
HDR10+ and Dolby Vision do not use the same dynamic metadata.
Technical details

HDR10+ content profile
[
edit
]
- EOTF: SMPTE ST 2084 (
PQ
)
- Chroma subsampling
: 4:2:0 (for compressed video sources), 4:2:2 and 4:4:4
- Resolution: Agnostic (2K/4K/8K,
[22]
etc.)
- Bit depth
: 10-bit or more (up to 16-bit) per color channel
- Color primaries:
ITU-R BT.2020
- Maximum linearized pixel value: 10,000
cd/m
2
for each color R/G/B (content)
- Metadata (required): Mastering Display Color Volume Metadata
[23]
- Metadata (optional): MaxCLL, MaxFALL
[24]
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.
HDR10+ is supported in video encoding technologies HEVC, AV1,
VP9
compatibility via WebM
[25]
as well as any codec that supports ITU-T T.35 metadata.
Workflow and ecosystem
[
edit
]
HDR10+ utilizes an HDR10 master file within existing
HDR post-production
and distribution workflows.
The HDR10+ ecosystem is used within current systems by,
- storing HDR10+ metadata in
JSON
files
- embedding HDR10+ metadata into HDR10 encoded content
- distribution through digital stream (e.g. streaming with HDR10+ SEI
[26]
)
- displaying HDR10+ content on a capable display (e.g.
HDMI
interfaces with HDR10+ VSIF) and mobile devices
[27]
Metadata generation
[
edit
]
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,
- Identifying scene cuts, and
- Performing an image analysis on each scene or frame to derive statistics
HDR10+ metadata is interchanged through a low complexity
JSON
-structured text file,
[28]
which is then parsed and injected into video files.
Live encoding
[
edit
]
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+
[29]
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.
Compatibility
[
edit
]
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
[30]
with non-HDR10+ TVs. HDR10+ metadata is ignored by devices that do not support the format and video is played back in HDR10.
Administration
[
edit
]
HDR10+ Technologies, LLC
[31]
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.
