Three fun letters: what you need to know about HDR. Families of Nvidia GeForce video cards

The dynamic range is important, lower 4K.

It’s impossible to play HDR on an SDR display, so sound the picture in such pairs with a left-handed hand, so that the bula understands the essence

4K, as a standard, pishov at masi. You can boldly call 2017 a turning point in history, if you have allowed it to become calm in a right way. The price of the panels fell below 500 dollars for the big diagonals, the same content, high and tight, but more likely to need help.

The unappreciated podtrimka was given here by the consoles. The appearance of PS4 Pro and Xbox One X significantly accelerated the rise of 4K screens. Step by step (although not without buying a guard) 4K has a great Hollywood film library. Already at the same time, all original Netflix shows can be marveled at in decent Ultra HD.

Retail between 4K and Full HD

Ale chi so consuming 4K-dozvіl itself on TV? On the monitor, which is most often found in a couple of dozens of centimeters from the eyes, the Full HD picture starts to "sip" on the pixels already at 27 inches. For some reason Retina/5K and navit 1440p are becoming more and more popular.

In the middle of television viewing, it’s even better, for those who are three meters away, it’s less visible than 43 inches, and ideally, for the real purchase of a 4K TV, you might have to take a diagonal larger than 49 inches. It is obvious that such a luxury is poorly accessible to most Russian apartments to get for a pittance of pennies - some great TV is just nowhere to go.

Exaggerated HDR notice

Approximately with the same thoughts, the author of the article was tormented before buying a new TV set. Take a good FHD, ta th god іz him, іz cim 4K? The idea is reasonable only at first glance, since HDR is added to the limit on decent panels. І axis tsya, apparently, the technology is not very developed, it really looks like a right line as an image, let's go and the content of the standard is not as rich as it would like to be.

Metamaterial - it's just that it's easy to understand what HDR is and how it's done. About those, how can we see the process of buying a TV set with 4K and HDR on DTF material, let's talk in terms of the report.

What is HDR and what do you need

Overnight retail

For good reason, the term HDR is similar to the jitters of an ungracious marketer. Vіn just from the threshold I create inappropriate swindle. That HDR, which is on TVs, does not come close to technology with a similar name on smartphones and cameras. As far as we are talking about photos, HDR is the only way to get more images with different exposures, de meta - to achieve the most equal for shadows and light options.

From the video, everything is wrong - here you can find about the total amount of information. Before HDR appeared, the picture standard, Blu-ray zocrema, was 8 bit. The colors are good, the modern panels, especially OLED, the buildings have more colors, gradients and colors, lower allow 8-bit dzherel.

The new 10-bit standard solves the problem of calls, which allows you to transfer much more information about the clarity, richness, depth and color of the scene. The new HDMI 2.0 protocol has been expanded for the new one.

Ale, don’t hurry up all the darts from the TV at once! Old cables summіsnі s HDMI 2.0a, even though marketers hung on the head. Golovne, they had a badge High Speed ​​​​with Ethernet on them. We are praised only by the throughput building - the roses themselves have not changed.

At the time of writing, HDR stats on TVs are sharpened at 10 bits, although the standard of digital cinematography is 14 bit RAW (more often - plіvka), so navigating the current panels is farther away from the full fermentation and renovating such a picture editing, .

Okay, but what is practical?

The sun begins to shine in the scenes, obviously brighter, it is clear that in one frame there can be a few spices for the brightness and intensity of the light. There is a problem with pixelization of pvttones in dark scenes, and gradients and folded zmіshannya farb nabuvayut. The sky is no longer translucent, it does not rage with the earth on the horizon line. In short, you can see the picture bigger on your eyes, below the eyepiece of the camera.

At the moment, the strongest technology in the world eliminates the speed of video games, the most different lighting in the real hour is displayed more or less correctly. At the cinema, there is a lot of fallowing in the form of a hack for HDR and a lot of work in the doorway, but at the same time there are references for the picture format like "Warthian Galaxy 2" or "John Wick 2".

TV makers are your enemies

So far, HDR, as if it were advanced technology, is "Wild Sunset". The “Ready to HDR” label is hung on new TVs - regardless of the fact that the building stench adequately displays 10 bits per hour. There is a large difference between the right HDR TV and the panel, which simply displays HDR content, lowering it to 8 bits and simply raising the colors and contrast.

Explore the virobniks in іnоdі importantly. Next to marvel, the panel is declared as 10-bit and compliant with the HDR10 standard. The sign of the reference HDR panel is the Wide Color Gamut (Wide Gamma Quarter). Without it, HDR wastes some sort of practical sensation.

Remember the part of LCD-TVs in victorious active 8-bit panels, like “thinking up” colors for additional special algorithms. An HDR picture on such panels is worthless for OLED, but it's a lot cheaper.

The turn of the "beaten" wars

On any turn of evolution, the pictures are obov'yazkovo blamed for the war of standards. And yet, in the battle between Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, everything turned out badly for the other one, for those who have bought a "salize", then the battle of HDR10 against Dolby Vision HDR will soon end in a bloodless nothing.

The HDR10 standard transmits less colors and supports less than 10 bits, but more than 10 bits. The Dolby standard saves audio more quickly and expands up to 12 bits, but it can also be more folded and streamlined. In any case, the power of support for this technology is broken by a simple software patch, and those games already de facto work with HDR10, the oscillators chose the same for their consoles like Sony and Microsoft.

Televisions themselves often allow you to beat the odds of standards, so it’s no longer a good idea to beat your own head at once.

And why marvel?

If we are talking about the screen, then more briefly, obviously, take OLED and yoga analogues. You take deep black colors again support all HDR attachments If you don’t allow yourself to spend close to 80 thousand on a top-end TV, then you shouldn’t be angry. LCD-models of 2017 overcame the fate of children's sores and you should remember the difference between HDR and SDR, let's go and program at the gradations of black and bright. The author of this article has an LCD panel with HDR support and, I can tell you, the content difference in standard colors can be seen from the first seconds.

As well as the language of the game, all modern game consoles display HDR in this way (Crimea Switch and “those” Xbox One). The PS4 only sees HDR (no 4K), while the Xbox One S/X allows you to play UHD discs and stream native 4K HDR directly to your TV. With online services, the standard is already supported by Netflix and Amazon, and Netflix acts as a library for HDR10, as well as content in Dolby Vision.

What to marvel at?

All original Netflix content from 2016 onwards, plus all the 4K movies released by film studios on digital discs. The collection of films by Christopher Nolan, the process of digitization, which is controlled by the director himself, will appear at the sale. Like Bulo with "The Dark Face" on Blu-Ray, there, sing-song, on long-term rock, set the standard for both UHD-majstrіv, and for HDR.

What about grati?

Remember the number of people who support HDR on basic consoles. Especially vividly (pun intended) the possibilities of technology are shown by such games as Horizon Zero Dawn, Uncharted 4 and Gran Turismo Sport.

The rest was created for HDR from scratch, and to that, all the advantages of an expanded range of brightness and colors are supported. Especially for GT Sport, Polyphony Digital has developed HDR cameras for capturing real pictures and advanced calibration for games. І kіlkіst kvіtіv, scho vіdobrazhayutsya thunder, yet outweigh the possibility of winding the most expensive panels. What is called, the benchmark "for virist".

However, not all games adapted to HDR are good, so read reviews on the Internet and marvel at Digital Foundry. Hvilyuvatisya, it’s true, it’s not varto, because the retailers are getting better and better to understand the possibility of an extended range, and also, the quality of the console content is only growing.

On PC, things are not so smooth at the same time. Igor's HDR is not rich, and the picture itself has problems with color on the system level (crooked drivers, Windows miracles, and so on). The report of the author of the article with the link HDR/Windows 10 is super clear. Until then, HDR is still badly practiced by popular players, so you need to check. As it shows the speed of 3D adaptation on the PC, the ship's implementation of HDR on computers varto checks approximately through the port. That library will rise.

So everything is good, but what about minuses?

Sound the calibration tables in games look simpler

The downsides of HDR on a streaming loop are also vistacha, but I'll add a couple of critical ones.

• Your equipment is more than ready for everything to HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2, so at the same time you may have to change the receiver with your TV. Zim I closed (PS VR first revision), Zim closed and Vadim (receiver with HDMI 1.4).
• If you are wondering if the HDR image will fail or the colors will fail, the screen needs to be calibrated. Let's play hand-held instruments and calibration tools (CoD WWII, GT Sport), but for the time being, you can rely on your food in the air. My pleasure: run the game anytime collapsible behind the colors is a bright scene, otherwise, choose the night line at the day. Allow me to allow you to fix your new classy TV set and lie to you in the first discord and frustration.

The hour of the arrivals

10 bits - not a boundary, but after two years with an HDR TV to the greatest movies you turn without too much enthusiasm. Tim accepts that the fate of HDR has ceased to be a share of gіkіv and tovstosumіv and nareshti pіshov among the people. The technology will become more beautiful and wiser, prote yakscho you check "that very moment", so that you can change your TV - that is the axis of wines, the miraculous hour of the virtual light at all farbs.

Rich colors, suprascale contrast and high detail. The one who looked at the televisions at the store of butovo electronics, will be blinded by the unfinished writing of the image. In our days, middle-class models are safe enough Krascha Yakist images, below the top HDTV extensions, released on this occasion.

Staring at a new flat-panel TV, you often get irritated high quality The images show only a different building UHD or 4K. Here, the chotiri has more pixels, the lower one has Full HD technology, which, I guess, can give a bigger picture. In fact, UHD may have caused less impact on image quality, but less important. Those that scribes attribute to a large number of pixels, fall into other parameters: high contrast, natural colors and smooth lines of contours, in most cases, the result of robotic algorithms in such technologies, such as HDR with a larger depth of color (10 bits).

Highly divided building: standard 4K

The term 4K has come from the film industry and is the official standard for recording on cameras, projectors and on screens. With all the diversity of the building, 4K becomes 4096 × 2160 pixels and acts as an uninterrupted successor in front of the 2K standard (2048 × 1080 pixels). The concept of "4K" includes more than enough, but also defines the degree of compression, bitrate and color depth of the film material.

However, regardless of those that a lot of TVs are advertised as such, that support 4K, less of them effectively deliver 4096 × 2160 pixels with a side ratio of 19:10. It is possible to talk about 4K extensions, under them, as a rule, to understand TVs from UHD-split building, as to become 3840 × 2160 pixels. UHD is respected by the official standard for displays and televisions, as well as the “downgraded” distribution of 1080p or Full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels). Oskіlki vіdminnіst mіzh 4K and UHD at otsіntsі the TV screen є insignificant, virobniki and ZMI often zmіshuyut tsі understand.

As it was already guessed, the UHD allowed itself to say about the quality of the image more often than not. With a good view, the difference between UHD and Full HD can be caught only on an insignificant screen on a TV screen. For a TV set with a diagonal of 50 inches, it should be close to 1.5 meters - it is too small for a big one. It’s comfortable to look at for a glance, sound to become 3-4 meters. On a larger scale, in order to achieve a 4K effect, a projector is required in the kit with a screen.

However, the effect of UHD depends on a wide range of parameters. The key factors are the clarity of the vision and the quality of the video materials. Recordings in 4K Blu-Ray format have the UHD effect in a larger world, lower compared to 4K streaming videos from Netflix. Also, when interpolating materials with different 1080p buildings, modern UHD TVs can greatly correct their quality: in this way, Blu-Ray videos often look better on them, lower on Full HD extensions. For those who want to enjoy the enhanced image on their UHD-TV, no matter how big you get to the screen, it’s necessary to “let your imagination go”. For the right effect, the flooding in UHD-TV did not allow, but HDR technology.

More detail to improve contrast ratio

To put it simply, the technology of the extended dynamic range or HDR (High Dynamic Range) increases the contrast ratio of the slit. It is necessary to make the images look more realistic and detailed. Night scenes in Full HD often look like a black image, and when UHD + HDR is used in even dark scenes, you can see a lot of details. In this way, HDR does not only hush the eye and improve the damage in films and serials, but even more successfully in video games.

However, HDR does not mean more than HDR: there are different standards (HDR10, Dolby Vision, Advanced HDR or HLG) to understand their own advantages and disadvantages. All add-ons, on which the Premium UHD logo is pasted, as well as the PS4 Neo and Xbox One S game consoles, support HDR10. The HDR10 is compliant with the HDR Dolby Vision standard. For Dolby Vision, for the HDR10 view, the power hardware chip is required, the quality of the one, the order of licensed airing, and an important article about the cost.

With all Dolby Vision, the depth of the color is 12 bits, and at the same time, it provides the best HDR effect, and it also dramatically reverses HDR10 from the deep color of 10 bits. Roughly kazhuchi, HDR10 is the standard for the mass spozhivacha, at the same time as Dolby Vision є expensive "petting" for local fans of home cinema.

When recording Dolby Vision on low-cost TVs that support more than HDR10, no problem, Dolby Vision shards also support the basic functionality of HDR10. However, looking like this, no 4K Blu-Ray movie will be shown on TV, which supports only Full HD.

Chi іsnuvatimut offended by the method and in parallel, or live alone, at the same time it’s important to talk. Prote company Samsung recently introduced the standard-successor - HDR10 +, which in the future can create serious problems for Dolby Vision. In HDR10+, the metadata that describes the color and contrast of an image is formed not statically, but dynamically for a skin-like scene in a frame, like in Dolby Vision.

This effect may diminish the success of Dolby Vision. In addition, the standard also optimizes the dynamic range of the great HDTV (without the letter U, ultra). Add-ons with the Premium UHD logo 2015-2016 will be released at the latest HDR10+ with a firmware update, including the required HDMI 2.0b standard. How good HDR10+ will be, it will become clear in the next hour if the Amazon Video streaming service is more likely to offer videos with HDR10+ standards.

It is also necessary to recognize HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) technology - a variety of HDR, developed with the participation of the British company BBC. While a notable problem with HDR, those that are necessary for metadata work require disk space and good bandwidth. This is a problem for the television broadcaster with a wide range of frequencies. Improvement in HLG: TV streaming video has all the information needed to implement both HDR and SDR (Standard Dynamic Range). This is not only for television companies, but also for streaming movers, such as . While HLG supports part of the HDMI-2.0b standard, in the future all TVs that support HDR10+ will be required to adopt HLG as well.

4K Blu-Ray: multimedia files and players

Premium class for moviegoers is UHD or 4K Blu-Ray. The standards of multimedia available everywhere are already close to rock, and there are close to a hundred names in the list of files on the Amazon platform at once. Instead of a small blue plastic disc, 4K Blu-Ray discs are marked with a dark rectangle with the "4K Ultra HD" logo.

The price of new products will be close to 1500 rubles. A lot of movies in 4K Blu-Ray for a small fee are also available in high-quality Blu-Ray. Unfortunately, at the same time, 4K versions have less movies available; serials daily. Preservation of traces of discs with "Mastered in 4K" markings, the shards on them show the content at the Full HD retail premises.

Like the HDR option in 4K Blu-Ray players, HDR10 technology will be turned on in this hour. At CES 2017, Warner, Lionsgate and Universal announced the release of films with Dolby Vision technology, the film “The Mighty Rangers” is the only representative of the HDR film in this format. "Nerishuchy" start of the same delusional team, that in this hour there are Blu-Ray-players with Dolby Vision support. The Oppo company has just announced the support of this standard for its premium-class player UDP-203 (div. levoruch) with a firmware update, and LG - the LG UP970 update for the possibility of Dolby Vision. The one who stakes on this technology will get a little bit more.

For the creation of 4K discs with HDR10, new Blu-Ray players are needed, so that similar media files are transferred to the brand of a new possession and to us in front - a support for the protection of copying AACS 2.0. The selection is still small, but the great leather picker is propagating a similar model in his line. Prices for ownership vary from 10,000 to 50,000 rubles. All add-ons are capable of great summation with great Blu-Ray discs and can connect to the largest portals streaming video(for example, Netflix, Amazon, YouTube).

4K Blu-Ray on PC: complex change of mind

Wanting to see 4K Blu-Ray content on your computer, running into serious problems. CyberLink recently released a new version of PowerDVD 17 to support the 4K standard; however, for copying on a PC, everything from the drive to the display can support the AACS 2.0 copy protection standard. Axis list required: Windows 10 (64 bit), Intel processor generation of Kaby Lake for desktop PC and motherboard with support Intel technology Software Guard Extension (SGX)

It also requires a graphic processor, building multimedia production in a 4K distribution building and supporting the HDCP 2.2 protocol. Intel graphics are already integrated, and the axis of nVidia and AMD will only start adapting their video card drivers at once. For the display, HDCP 2.2 support is also required: for example, behind the HDMI 2.0 interface. Blu-ray drives that support the BDXL format and support AACS 2.0 are still used only in Japan. Prote vltku stench may appear in Europe. Dosit znachnі vitrati - і less to zabіgannya piracy.

Displays with support for HDR10 are still rarely on sale: for example, LG is going to present a 32-inch model (about 70,000 rubles) in Europe, and Dell announced the release of the UP2718Q model (about 130,000 rubles), which is for Pivnichnoy America. If we talk about standard 4K models, then the choice here is great, and the prices start at 23,000 rubles (Samsung LU28E590DS).

Videos from Netflix and Amazon: 4K movies at home

Video streaming platforms Amazon Video and Netflix can handle a large number of movies and TV shows in 4K and often in HDR. Netflix's HDR10 is also winning over Dolby Vision. For 4K and HDR formats, you need a multi-track subscription and a channel bandwidth of at least 25 Mbps; “cleaner” 4K video streaming is possible already for 15 Mb/s.

For a look at the Dolby Vision format, it is necessary to have a smart UHD-TV set, which only the LG company propagates at once, and at a high price. Likewise, players can be seen (about 5,000 rubles), (about 20,000 rubles) or (about 25,000 rubles). Amazon also supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision for some multimedia content. System support similar to Netflix, you can access all content by adding a standard package to the Amazon Prime service.

For those who want to win the Amazon Fire TV Box as a player, you should pay attention: the current Fire TV (about 3000 rubles) Supports streaming video in 4K format with a frequency of up to 30 frames per second, but does not support HDR.

Amazon content, however, can be hosted on a variety of platforms. Amazon's shards are launching HDR10+ releases next time, with a different update being rational.

Yaka on the right with 4K HDR reception in Russia?

The largest online cinema MEGOGO already allows Russian filmmakers to watch dubbed videos in 4K HDR format. Owners of UHD-TVs with Smart TV support can install a separate program (as it is not already installed behind the lock, like LG TVs), issue a paid subscription and enjoy movie masterpieces in an ultra-high distribution building with a broader bandwidth. At the time of writing, the service has 28 domestic and foreign films in 4K HDR format.

For radio stations and private telecentres, the format is 4K or UHD, on the right of the distant future - navit great movniki in the next hour will not let us broadcast in Ultra HD. On the other hand, special channels in our time know only a few programs that are broadcast by the Tricolor TV operator: the Russian Extreme Ultra sports and promotional channel, the KINO UHD film channel, the INSIGHT UHD reality show channel, and Fashion One 4K.

All stinks are accepted from the paid package of Ultra HD programs. For receiving content in 4K format, a CI + satellite receiver is required, which supports decoding the Ultra HD 4K motion format, as well as the HEVC (H.265) compression standard, HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 standards, which are already integrated with many modern smart TVs.

4K TV: UHD + HDR10 at an affordable price

Shards of UHD excellence are mostly shown on the screens of the great worlds, the projector in the kit with a screen is a perfect addition to the creation, but the prices on them are still just gloomy. Model Acer V9800, which was shown in our laboratory best results cost 427,000 rubles. UHD on TVs, on the other hand, is not so expensive: good UHD models with a diagonal of up to 55 inches and HDR10 support cost 50,000 rubles. Another situation with TVs that support Dolby Vision: LG's OLED models are also more expensive. Herself cheap model- - cost 115,000 rubles.

The best UHD-TV in HDR support

In the tables below, the most popular UHD TVs with a diagonal of up to 55 inches, including 55 inches, and models with enhanced HDR10 technology for a price of up to 100,000 rubles and 100,000 rubles were redeemed. In the category “optimal choice”, we recommend that you pay attention to: best option with HDR10. All other models cost close to 80,000 rubles, or much more expensive. Dolby Vision is supported less in the new OLED models from LG: for example.

Top 5 4K TVs with a diagonal of 56 inches

If you spend the rest of the day talking about HDR, and if you start to pay attention to the improvement of video in computer games, then, more than anything, you’ll wonder: what’s so special about the new one? Already a lot of fates passed when you appeared! Well, I need something for you to tell. Do you remember the checkboxes next to HDR, how did you play games after Half-Life 2? Not 100% HDR appears.

Option "HDR" in the software camera of a mobile phone? І tse tezh not zovsіm those, wanting, yak і u vipadku z false-HDR ticks in playing games, the meta-enhancement of the image becomes immutable.

Got lost? Don't be turbulent. If there are any misconceptions about HDR, it's just the cob. So, what is HDR, and how can you change it computer games? Vіdpovіd on the first power supply does not call for difficulties. However, for the opening of another, an hour is needed. Read on to understand the nature of HDR, and to know how monitors and video cards support it.

What is HDR?

HDR (in the literal translation from English - "high dynamic range") is the most important name for technologies that expand the spectrum of color and contrast of video displays far beyond the limits of the most recent hardware features. Irrespective of those that you happened to be a little bit, let it be the most important component, if you want to go about the quality of the image. After large-scale changes to the lower Windows interface at 110 DPI, the number of pixels starts to mean less, less manipulation, as they are carried out.

Brightness, contrast and richness of color - everything is the first line for the clarity of the image, as only the need for a wide building is reached. І HDR is engaged in the improvement of these displays. This is not a hell of an expansion. HDR depends on the specific physical characteristics of the computer, so remember to change the image, do not need to name an eye.

HDR performance on rare-crystal screens is not less than 1000 cd/m2, or a bright color to comply with the new Ultra HD Premium standard. Vysokoyaksіsnі, yaki as much as possible can be close to 300-400 nits of brightness, and the order is not to stand. Yakіsnі laptops are not richly beautiful, because they have the best 100 nits or close to it. Navit mobile phones With their sci-fi technologies, the screen, which allows you to clearly see the picture in a bright sleepy light, can only have about 800 threads. When it comes to clarity, HDR-summary screens do not deprive their opponents of the opportunity.

Colors are also converted to HDR characteristics, which can supply 10 or 12 bits for the skin color channel, which is available in operating system she asks for an additional set of active tools. Larger displays provide less than 6 or 8 bits per color channel, corrosive subsystem of color space under the name sRGB, which covers only a third of the HDR visual spectrum. In fact, my bachimo kolori is richly bіdnishі, nizh stinks є really. Tim is not less, if you have a better house, you can’t easily use the smaller color modes through the software features.

At the same time, monitor the PC, which supports a wide range of colors or WGC, sounds vicorous in singing areas, for example, for editing images or in medical purposes. IGRI TO INNCHASTENT TRASTENT SOME NOT REALLY DODATKOVALIA IS OFFICE OFFICALLY FLOWING THE CHARTICAL, COURISE THE SOLIRISTRY PROSTIR, YAY WITH VIKORIST, WIDED IN THE DISPALES IT WILL GAMILOVA, YAKSHOO TILASTENT IMAGAYNENT IN THE VIMAGAYKHYSHICHENTSE HDR standards do not allow stumbling around, including metadata in videos. It does help to correctly manage the color space, change what the programs look like correctly, and bask in the optimal ways to improve the possibilities of visualization.

For processing additional HDR data, the HDMI 2.0a protocol is also required - it has been upgraded to the HDMI 1.4 standard with a low throughput building.

Key issues of HDR technology

HDR is about rich, but the distant yoga path is not yet clear. The biggest problems are not blamed on technical changes, but on competing, often insane standards.

In Denmark, there are 2 major HDR standards. First - patented Dolby Vision technology with 12-bit deep color and dynamic metadata. It is a supercomputer that recognizes the HDR-10 standard, which supports 10-bit color and provides more than static metadata on the cob of the video stream.

Dolby Vision, what does it mean license fees and dodatkovі aparatnі zasobi, — darozhcha іnnovatsіya, scho shozhili її vikoristannya. A plethora of screen makers and content providers have failed to embrace HDR-10, including Microsoft for Xbox One S and Sony for PS4, which point to the side that the gaming industry is shaking. For sure HDR-10 is the best choice for console lovers.

Dolby Vision chanulers praise її clay color, other standards hardware security and frame-by-frame building dynamically adjust the color and brightness, at the same time from the summation of HDR-10. Ale market is collapsing at a lesser price point and reaching the HDR-10 standard.

Shards of HDR-10 cannot be compared with Dolby Vision, Dolby has a lot of things to play for, a lot of patents and an expensive HDR standard, better than everything, to lean on the nearest fates in a hopeless way. Tim is not less, as a fan of videos or films and buys products based on their quality and value, which is still present in the rest of Dolby's products, maybe the price will not be so important, and you will enjoy the new picture without any problems. Gamers, however, are better for everything, other priorities.

How HDR is being won today?

PC hackers are rushing to get into the HDR race, but you don't have to check them out to try yoga. HDR hardware is available for high-end TV marketers. In addition, the price of the best HDR feasibility in film, which is already small, but the library of HDR-demo, movies and broadcasts is constantly updated, which will compare the different options "plich-o-plich", which at first demonstrates the difference in the image. All TV models recommended by us support HDR, why stink become a good option for replacing the monitor, as well as the expansion and clarity of the image for you is important for a small hour of viewing.

The Samsung KS8000 and KS9800 series TVs can handle a variety of tasks no better than good computer displays, allowing them to experience HDR content from the world of what's now available on PC. Just don't forget that everything is worth it, and even the most TV for Igor has a short time.

Video cards, combined with HDR

In one place, decomputers are already being prepared for HDR, video card quality. While the monitors are working with TV-colleagues, graphics processors of the middle and high class, it may be ready to change, the start of healthy competition from Nvidia and AMD.

Nvidia has been talking about HDR since the 900-series cards came out, certifying all Pascal-based cards and ready to HDR now. AMD has been three years old with the release of the 390X and Polaris, their first HDR sum cards. If you have bought a video card not so long ago, it is clear that a part of the system is already ready to be changed.

When HDR will appear in computer games?

Greater food - what does it mean for gamers? While some new products will be released for additional HDR, old games without some corrections will not bring wider colors and contrast possibilities. These older games can run normally on HDR-enabled systems, but don't get your daily changes short bik without adding new codes.

Fortunately, using advanced technologies will not require a rewrite software. Without significant zusil, you can tweak a simple process of fermentation, which expands the SDR color maps to HDR ranges.

This means that in the future popular games they can make corrections by adding HDR support, or make remixes on them, and dudes turn to the classics, and don’t be surprised at the way the retailers. On the face of the averaged or averaged HDR, which is famous in the early versions of the game or in the photographs, the HDR-safety equipment is already gaining popularity in the industry of rozvag. However, it is still necessary to practice to the ideal.

The real problem is that today PC gamers are getting interested in HDR - the platform does not have such technologies. Nvidia is releasing a patch for Rise of Raider Tomb. In addition, games that support HDR on consoles may check out versions that will be available for PC (for example, Forza, Battlefield, Gears of War and others). Ale, we can’t know about cemi, singsongly.

Until such patches and games are released, the first expansion of visual effects can be assessed by Blu-Ray and consoles. So you can relax. It will take an hour before HDR hits PC, so just enjoy your catalog on Steam and check it out.

PS4 Pro is Sony's best gaming console today. Won cost more, lower price PlayStation 4, and the owners of 4K TVs varto look at the possibility of buying new systems shards of won't give gamers a low level of comfort.

PS4 Pro is designed to play the same games as the PlayStation 4 and other modern consoles, but with more improvements. You take more high-rise diversity - up to 4K Ultra HD - and expands the dynamic range of HDR for two-world games, reducing the amount of detail for PSVR titles.

All new items will be available for the original PlayStation 4 or PS4 Slim, but there are also improvements for the PlayStation 4 Pro, there are a lot of other important games, you can see the full list of them at the bottom of this post.

Let's take a look at how we improved the quality of the Pro-versions of the current and future titles that support the development of 4K real estate, HDR technology, or both at the same time.

What is 4K?

The term 4K, or ultra high definition (Ultra HD - Ultra high definition) is brought to a separate screen at 3840 x 2160, which means four times as many pixels, lower video in Full HD (1080p). In other words, the technology provides more detail and a richer image, and also a greater amount of computational effort to deal with such a great obligation of data.

What is HDR?

High Dynamic Range (HDR - High Dynamic Range) is a video technology that ensures great clarity, sharper contrast and a wider color gamut of the image.

HDR-TVs of the building can see richly the greater rіven of bright, glibshі black. The stench can depict richer colors, lower earlier, and, perhaps, give a larger natural picture with even brighter areas and brighter effects. The dark areas are filled with deep, scarlet, without wasting details.

What are the possibilities of PS4 Pro?

For all its tediousness, including improved graphic architecture, the PlayStation 4 Pro is able to play video games in a wide range of 4K environments with enhanced HDR at up to 60 frames per second. Don't stop with all the titles - you can shoot 4K at 30 frames per second in the most important scenes - but there are some culprits, so the future racing of Gran Turismo Sport, which can be done in Ultra HD and 60fps.

Better 4K rendering in check order, which is more efficient, lower scaling, so that rendering of small blocks of pixels, rather than skin okremo, is possible. However, some titles will support full graphics in 4K.

Some video games for PS4 Pro will have the option of choosing between smooth gameplay at 60fps in a 1080p split screen or a larger split screen, albeit with a split frame rate of up to 30 fps. Have a good mood to give you more high frequency fps at 1080p, lower when using a standard PlayStation 4 model.

List of fixed games for PS4 Pro

Below are the views of the latest re-releases of titles for the PlayStation 4 Pro with current releases as of today or announcements of releases.

Don't forget that all PS4 video games work on the new Pro model. In this list, titles are presented, such as 4K, HDR or, in the case of games for PSVR, to play a great deal of graphics processing, to give the best gaming experience.

I'll leave a couple of tizhnіv I vitrativ on doslіdzhennya HDR-images of other іgor.

If the language is about SDR-video, then you are responsible for knowing the RGB values ​​in the interval 0-255, de 0 is black, and 255 is white.

HDR10 / Dolby Vision in this plan, there are a few differences, not only because the variable interval is 0-1023, but also because all these values ​​​​represent not just a black and white (or color) gradient, but the world of illumination, then in є in the loneliness of the world of bright light.

On the other hand, the value that is scored in the previous video formats, the values ​​are assigned and absolute. A value of 0 always means the same light (full black), a value of 1023 always represents 10000 nits of lightness, a value of 769 always means 1000 nits.

In order to transmit to the current HDR TV set values, you are responsible for displaying such an amount of light, as described by the given values.

This system wins in HDR10, and Dolby Vision. You can call HDR with PQ (PQ based HDR) upgrades.

At the current moment, there are not so many TVs with a maximum value of 10,000 nits, you are lucky, as your value exceeds 1500 nits.

If the signal that is rejected, go beyond the boundaries of the display equipment, the TV itself will fail, how to fix the situation. The greater number of virobniks simply exemplify the meaning of the white thing for their veneration. Also, the stench can win a smooth decline and work zsuv to cut the value less obvious.

For each hour of creation for HDR10 and Dolby Vision content, additional information about the image size in the metadata format is required. If the metadata sounds like it will be more important for grі (or movies) and it will be the average lighting for all content. The values ​​are determined by the display on which the content is created.

Most UHD content is created at once for screens from 1000 nits or 4000 nits.

The purpose of this metadata is to be able to take the original HDR content from the SDR image (or both SDR and HDR) so that if the content is viewed on a display, it does not reach the peak brightness of the display, on which the content is created.

So if a movie is playing on a 1000 nit display, and you have an OLED screen with a maximum of 650 nits, then the TV can display the metadata to display the information, which cannot be displayed in any other way through the exchange.

If you have a display that shows the maximum brightness to the content or reverses it, then you do not need metadata.

Having sorted out z tsim, let's marvel at those, how the games were created, how the stink options were put on coristuvachev for improving the image, how to rob the ts of the options, and what a link between these aspects and tim, like looking at HDR.

The videos have a great advantage in pairing with films - the picture is generated in real time, so you can create it like always.

The very nature of HDR content is easy to understand: we will have enough screenshots or captured video without tonal compression (tone mapping), and we can look at the code values ​​that are different parts of the image.

We may consider that it is the same color that is transmitted, that it looks like black (otherwise, I can cinematically correct the color with the increased values ​​of black), then we can work on a better meaning, like I try the victorist for such objects, as it were.

That's why I'm working on different games for Xbox (the console allows you to create screenshots in HDR), so I'll work with you to work on different internal games, tweaking and tweaking them to get the optimal picture on the display.

Meta HDR - transferring more information to the display, so that it is brighter, as it could be seen in the visual parts of the image. Sound the best points to change at the bliss, vibes and on the sun.

Let's take a look at how good it is to apply gaming HDR. All of these butts have victorious parameters, that the trochs are ventilated, and the difference goes up to the tone of the tonal compression.

To better visualize the view of the gray in the format without HDR10 / SDR-format, I saw the method of creating lightness maps.

For an additional scale, we can easily evaluate what is dark in the picture, what is light, and even brighter.

Star Wars: Battlefront 2

Metadata is set to 100000, and the tone compression itself is followed by the help of the HDR trick, where 0 nit is the best value, and 10k nit is the right one.

Playing Dice on the Frostbite engine is really good, because you can destroy the HDR challenge by one step. Tse give us 100/200 nits (deep in gries), in fact, squeezing the picture of gries to SDR. In this rank, you can easily switch over to what your new cool TV is building.

One more comedy rіch z igor DICE - you can destroy the bug by 0% literal meaning turn off all the lighting. So we’re wondering if the lighting can be brightly corrected in the real hour, even if we told the engine that the most beautiful light can be brightened up 0.

Rise of the Tomb Raider

The image of Tomb Raider is trimmed with 4000 threads. Like in games on the Frostbite engine, you can either raise the buzzer to the maximum, so that the TV set turns off the tonal compression, or follow the on-screen instructions, making the maximum clarity and allowing you to play data independently.

RotTR especially tsіkava in tsoma, to that here there is a faceless vіdbliskіv, and not only in places, de mi їх sound bachimo, for example, on the glittering ice and the cold snow, which looks like a bright sun.

These data should not be ruined, you can talk time after time, and you should not tell us what the artistic solution is or is part of the process of correcting the color of the HDR.

Assassin's Creed Origins

Also, they have the scale of the “white sheet”, so that the crimson of the ridges and the enhancement of the darkest and most beautiful parts of the grey won allow you to change one of the intermediate points: the brightness of the arch of the paper.

adjust the value so that the papier and hanging fabric on the image will be more white

Forza Horizon 3

When the sky is gloomy, the sky is all the same overwhelmed, and photographers have to go to tricks to get into trouble with contrast problems, which are called out for this reason. Forza rozkvitaє here on full strength, I can see the cold and sіrіst, nіbi bach їx in my eyes.

As you see, the sky reaches approximately 4000 threads, light does not fall on the grate and it is dark, even as the headlights see more than 10k threads.

Gears of War 4

INSECTS

In Forza and Gears, these parameters are simply called Brightness and HDR, but in INSECTS they are called HDR contrast (HDR Contrast) and HDR brightness (HDR brightness).

Let's now marvel at deyaki іnshi butt.

Shadow of Mordor

The grі є є traditіyny pozzіyny yaskravostі (Brightness), which allows koristuvachs to create a point of black vіdpovіdno to their relish and minds reconsider.

On the screenshots, we see a lot of obvious misses, de varto shukati over 10k threads, and the sun itself looks bright. So bachimo, that the side of the character, that of the dark, is so dark, that it can be buti.

Agents of Mayhem

DEUS EX: Mankind Divided

Final Fantasy XV

Fixing the maximum vysnovka 1000 nits and a simple lace lace for lowering the black tie. The correction of color is inconspicuously relatable, including lighting for different minds.
