Oct 6, 2022 · There are two common color spaces used for HDR content: the DCI-P3 color space that's used in most HDR content and the Rec. 2020 color space that's slowly being included with more content. The difference between the two spaces is simply the number of colors each space covers, as Rec. 2020 is wider.

Standard-dynamic-range video (SDR video) is a video technology which represents light intensity based on the brightness, contrast and color characteristics and limitations of a cathode ray tube (CRT) display. [1]

Jan 14, 2021 · High Dynamic Range (HDR) is the next big leap in color clarity and visual realism in images and videos. From vivid highlights to rich, shadowy depths, HDR makes every scene pop with jaw-dropping contrast and more lifelike hues. Compared to Standard Dynamic Range (SDR), HDR content doesn’t just look better — it feels more real.

Nov 1, 2023 · sRGB and rec709 have about the same color space, and no rec709 is actually the default for games since PS360 due to HDTV. But sRGB and rec709 got different white point and gamma, so games are all shipped with brightness slider. As for HDR10 it used rec2020 container.

Sep 1, 2022 · SDR uses a color space called Rec 709 and HDR with Rec 2100. The triangle represents how much space they utilize through the illustration below: As you can see, the color space used by HDR's Rec 2100 is significantly larger than that of SDR's Rec 709.

Feb 25, 2025 · SDR does not offer a very high dynamic range and holds a limited color gamut and range. The underexposure contrast and brightness levels are slightly more muted. The brightness can adjust between 1 nit to 1000 nits on scenes. The brightness level for SDR devices ranges between 100-300 bits.

Aug 13, 2024 · Color gamut provides a range of colors within a color space, reproduced on an output device such as screens, televisions, or projectors. SDR uses old-fashioned Rec 709, whereas HDR uses Rec. 2100. Color gamut is essential to display a wide range of colors in images or videos that affect picture quality.

Jun 29, 2024 · SDR content uses 8-bit color depth, which means each pixel can have one of 256 shades of each color (red, green, and blue). This results in a total of 16.7 million colors. HDR content, on the other hand, uses 10-bit or 12-bit color depth, which means each pixel can have one of 1,024 or 4,096 shades of each color.

Dec 14, 2023 · 709 color space: SDR content often adheres to the Rec. 709 color space, which defines the range of colors that can be displayed. This color space is more limited compared to what the human eye can perceive.

Oct 16, 2024 · SDR typically adheres to the Rec. 709 color space, which covers about 35% of the visible spectrum. HDR expands this dramatically, often using the Rec. 2020 color space, which covers approximately 75% of the visible spectrum.
