So ahead of IFA HDR10+ Technologies announced the first licensed products, beside those of founding partners, Samsung, Panasonic and Twentieth Century Fox.
Currently it is still a relatively short list, with mainly (software) tool makers, and a few SoC makers, and of course Samsung, Panasonic, and Twentieth Century Fox that promise to ensure most of its 2018 products and content will support HDR10+. With Panasonic's 4K Blu-Ray players having received firmware updates to enable HDR10+.
It is safe to say the only real HDR10+ certified Consumer Electronics products will be by Samsung and Panasonic, with perhaps an SoC vendor showing chips.
HDR10+ advances the current industry standard of High Dynamic Range (HDR) and HDR10 TV formats. As an upgraded version of HDR10, HDR10+ adds dynamic metadata to each frame. This optimal HDR data enables advanced chipsets from leading manufacturers to create a true-to-life picture across a wider range of displays. HDR10+ competes with Dolby Vision, and Technicolor Advanced HDR.
The HDR10+ license program and logo are to ensure that HDR10+ compliant products meet high standards for picture quality and that the true intent of filmmakers is preserved within these key parameters:
The display performance certification qualifies requirements on the display mode, peak luminance level, peak luminance stability, transfer function and white point tracking performance and color gamut coverage.
The metadata processing certification qualifies carriage and accuracy of metadata over interfaces. The display management performance certification qualifies tone-mapping based on HDR10+ Metadata such as shadow preservation.
The Ultra HD Blu-ray player certification qualifies the processing and accuracy of HDR10+ Metadata carriage over the HDMI interface.
Depending on the category of adopter, certification can be obtained by self-certification or through an Authorized Testing Center (ATC) such as Allion and TTA - the first centers verified for HDR10+ certification. Adopter categories include UHD Blu-ray player manufacturers, OTT set-top box manufacturers or service, display manufacturers, SoC vendors, content companies, tool vendorsThe license is royalty-free and there is only a nominal administrative fee.
