What is HDR Video? (HDR version) - Video Tech Explained

Cool man❤ I learned a lot from this video alone.

Where is the hdr option?fucking google keeps removing it!

At last a story about HDR made in HDR natively

This was an excellent video, I'm about to buy my first TV since the CRT days, and am trying to figure this all out. This helped tremendously. I have a couple technical comments. Shouldnt' an extra bit only double the amount of data that can be recorded? Also, I noticed a lot of salesmen touting the perfect or infinite contrast / dynamic range of OLED TVs, but this seems misleading. It is only infinite because to get contrast you divide by the black level, which is 0. Dividing anything by 0 ( technically, approaching 0) is infinity (approaches infinity), meaning you could have the dimmest OLED display in the world, but if it goes completely dark, it still has infinite dynamic range, whereas a superbright mini-LED will have technically lower contrast because you are no longer dividing by 0, even if you get pretty close for practical purposes. I found I prefer the brighter displays, which look more dynamic, even if the math says otherwise.

Your explanations are excellent

Great vid

I learned a lot from this. Thanks man!

SDR was also invented with the idea of having display panels with back lights. So what's listed as 0 is actually technically closer to about 50 to 100 nits and what the 100 nit value value is actually measured at is closer to about 200. So I think it's actually 0 to 100 over the baseline backlight brightness.

I wish I saw this video earlier before buying cheap LCD TV that had HDR advertised. Now I gotta look for oled display. Thank you for this video. I finally understand what HDR is and what are the requirements for it

Thanks bro, very helpful.

So... How do I go about getting HDR on my color Hitachi woodgrain TV from 1992? 🤔

Awesome videos. You really should keep making them! Fantastic! Congrats!

Even though I know very well by now how these things work I still watched a bunch of your videos. Simply because they are so articulate, to the point, and correct! When I got into this it was very complicated because the information out there was incomplete, failing to exactly convey the purpose or limitations of those technologies, and sometimes the content would clearly contain information that was oblivious to the underlying math or physics.

But you just manage to explain these things elegantly. Love the explanation on a bit of paper (like an engineer). Great work!

how the hell dont you have atleast 100k subs

Awesome video! Thank you!

Crystal clear. Love your channel

One of the best Videos about HDR i´ve seen!
When i produced a vlog recoreded with my iphone in HDR i went deep down the rabbit hole :D

Also make video on 10 bit 422 , 444 ,, deep explanation. Thank you

So good Video! Thank you!

Great video!

An HDR video explanation actually in HDR! Well done!

Yes, I used to get this confused with the silly "HDR" software such as "Pro HDR" app from way back in the day for older iPhones… until I realized that all these apps really did was just blend two images together by bringing down the highlights and bringing up the shadows to make the image visible within the narrow dynamic range able to be displayed on older devices.

Now that I own a newer iPhone with an OLED screen and the iPad Pro with the mini-LED display, I've watched some real HDR content on services such as Apple TV+… and my goodness, it looks amazing.

It's really something one has to really see to appreciate, and it sucks that one needs a combination of the right hardware, along with the right content to really appreciate the difference.

Makes more sense now, thank you

this is an underrated video !
very detailed and easy to understand description about HDR
its learn pro aspects the beginner way .. i wish people would appreciate more this kind of content

What about using the SDR container, but on a really bright display? How is that different? Why isn't HDR literally just SDR, but with a max brightness metadata? I get the color stuff, but that's not really part of the dynamic range, so i don't get why this is bundled up into this mess

Well done 👍👍

I rarely watch a YT video to the end. This was a rare exception. Well done - I hope your channel blows up

Young Sir, absolutely the best video on this topic, and, I'd add--on any topic! Such clear and concise representations and such good structure, I salute you! Please make tutorials (explainers) on everything if it will be this good ;)

I am literally shocked how great this content was! WOW!

The absolute best explanation I've seen on this topic. Thank you!

When a freaking 400$ edge lit garbage of a TV have HDR on it... it makes me laugh... Only HDR capable TV's are OLEDS with PURE BLACK. Or some very high dimming zones OLEDs that can come somewhere close. Brightness MEANS NOTHING if there is no pure black.

Nice explaination. Thank you!

As an Electro-Optics engineer I really enjoyed the way you explained it

And suddenly my phone turned brighter adjusting to the HDR Video... You just make me notice that my phone has HDR

Great content! I finally understood a lot of concepts I wasn’t sure about

Subbed! Really great video explanation of HDR and enjoyed in HDR on Alienware AW3423DW QD-OLED to boot! :P

Good content. Thank you!

Great information. Thank you!

Awesome video !!! Helped a lot in understanding how to work with HDR

Brilliant work, very well explained with facts and examples. Would be great if you could do an in depth video about broadcast HDR conversion and balancing between SDR

Well explained 👍

Excellent video.

Best explanation of HDR I’ve seen yet. Now I understand how to cut through all the marketing terms the tv manufacturers are throwing around these days.

Upgraded to a 4k computer and inexpensive 4k HDR TV about 5 months ago. I don't know why but after paying 99 cents for the Microsoft HEVC codec in Win 11 all streaming video looks better. 720p was for the most part unwatchable before.

Nice

I can’t wait to tell people I was an early subscriber to this great channel. Wow this video and the quality of your content is striking. Thank you so much for this. Loved it!

watched all your vides in row ! great job

You just blasted me with light with that the verge screenshot..
