Managing HDR Content Production And Display Device Capabilities

The introduction of next-generation video technologies, particularly high dynamic range (HDR), provides a compelling new palette for content creators. Similarly, consumer displays with brighter screens and darker black levels are very appealing to consumers. However, there are a number of challenges for content producers and device manufacturers that will be discussed in this paper. It will examine some commercial HDR content and consider the impact of creative choices on consumer electronics devices, particularly related to power management. This paper further explores opportunities to manage content and display device capabilities by analyzing content light levels during production, to help improve rendition of the content in display devices. This paper further discusses opportunities for display manufacturers to manage content that exceeds the device capabilities, to ensure a compelling user experience.
