Netflix announced that it was Addition of HDR10 + streaming managementIn addition to the existing HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats which are already offered on the streaming service. HDR10 + should offer greater visual fidelity on a frame basis for the often dark original programming of Netflix.
The company allows HDR10 + with the AV1 codec, the specification initially published in 2018 which has gradually become the standard for 4K video streaming without giving data. Netflix first adopted AV1 as a way to help customers save data by looking at their phone, but compression technology works as well to broadcast large HDR files. Netflix now allows HDR10 + on certain popular titles and possibly hopes to offer all HDR content in the new format. Anyone with a Netflix Premium subscription and a device that supports HDR10 + and AV1 (which includes most modern mobile phones and tablets) should be able to look at compatible content in HDR10 +.
After 4K, a high dynamic range (HDR) came to define the appearance of television and modern films, especially streaming. HDR content clearly shows the striking differences between the clear and dark parts of an image. The muddy quality under-exposed of modern streaming television is often due to the expectation that the public will consult on a device that supports HDR. Without that, you can’t see anything. With him, you can pick up all the different shades of gray that have become the standard in the prestigious television.
Netflix first deployed HDR support in 2016 with the beginnings of Marco PoloAnd in the years that followed, has made Dolby Vision and HDR10 support, the most common HDR format, the standard on its service. If you’ve looked at Netflix on a screen that already uses Dolby Vision, you will probably not notice a difference, but if you do not offer HDR10 +, adding support for the format, everything has to look a little better.
