Experience The Magic of HDR
Enhance your audience’s viewing experience by delivering your project in HDR10, allowing anyone with an HDR compatible TV, monitor or smart device to see your film, commercial or promo in its most stunning form!
The brief video below shows examples of HDR graded clips. In order to view this video in HDR, you must watch it on an HDR enabled device. If your device cannot play HDR content, you will see the video in a standard SDR Rec709 trim.
Better Saturation
HDR allows for much better saturation levels making colours deeper, richer and more vibrant. If your project is intended to be less vibrant, you still benefit from the vivid colour separation HDR offers giving you a much better and more immersive look.
Better Contrast
The expanded HDR colour space of HDR means we have a lot more room to work with in regards to contrast. Contrast levels are what makes an image pleasing on the eye so having even more control means a better overall image when it comes to colour and exposure.
Deeper Blacks
Have you ever noticed how blacks and the darkest areas of a film, commercial or TV show can still look a little washed out or totally crushed, losing all the detail? HDR removes that problem by giving us access to far more information in the "low end," creating deeper and more detailed shadows.
Detailed Highlights
Much like how HDR gives us more detail in the shadows, it also does the same in the highlights. We can create a brighter overall image whilst still retaining all the highlight detail you work so hard to capture. Say goodbye to blown out, clipped highlights and enjoy a more filmic image.
What is HDR?
HDR, or high-dynamic range, is a relatively new technology which can elevate the image you see on your TV or smart device to an entirely new level. It’s found on nearly all the best TVs, including midrange and high-end TVs as well as many budget models and smart devices. On a good-quality TV displaying real HDR TV shows, movies and games, you’ll see brighter highlights, better contrast and deeper, more realistic colours. The image overall is just more lifelike.
The majority of our work is in the current standard, SDR, however if you or your client requires HDR masters, our colour suite is enabled to grade, monitor and deliver HDR and the visually stunning results that come with it.
Delivery Options
We can deliver in a veriety of HDR formats including HDR10, HLG and Dolby Vision.
Unless you are delivering for Netflix or another similar streaming platform or cinema chain that requires Dolby Vision, the most likely format we would deliver for you is HDR10. The beauty of HDR10 is that it includes the HDR as metadata in the file meaning if it is streamed on a device which is HDR enabled, it will automatically display as an HDR image. If the device is not HDR enabled, it will play in standard SDR Rec709 making it an incredibly flexible delivery format.
