Definition of HDR10+
HDR10+ is a high dynamic range (HDR) video technology introduced by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Panasonic Corporation as an open, royalty-free dynamic metadata platform for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video. Designed to enhance image quality by applying scene-by-scene tone mapping, HDR10+ aims to deliver improved brightness, contrast, and color accuracy across compatible displays.
The platform addresses limitations of static HDR formats by enabling dynamic adjustment of visual parameters, thereby more faithfully reproducing filmmakers’ creative intent. Licensing of HDR10+ was scheduled to commence in January 2018, with a nominal administrative fee and broad availability to content producers, hardware manufacturers, and system-on-chip vendors. The partnership emphasized flexibility and scalability, positioning HDR10+ as a future-ready standard for next-generation home entertainment systems.
