An open HDR standard using static metadata for enhanced contrast and color.
HDR10 is a widely adopted High Dynamic Range format defined by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA). It uses static metadata—MaxFALL (maximum frame-average light level) and MaxCLL (maximum content light level)—to inform displays about content mastering, enabling improved brightness, contrast and color over traditional SDR signals.
Key features of HDR10 include:
HDR10 requires displays to support at least 1000 nits peak brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio for certification.
Content is mastered on HDR10-capable grading systems, with metadata baked into the final video stream. Streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video) and physical media (Ultra HD Blu-ray) distribute HDR10 tracks alongside standard SDR versions. No licensing fees are required, making HDR10 a cost-effective choice for broadcasters and OTT services.
While HDR10’s static metadata offers significant improvements over SDR, it lacks the scene-by-scene optimization of dynamic HDR standards like Dolby Vision and HDR10+. Nevertheless, HDR10’s royalty-free nature and wide device compatibility have driven rapid industry adoption, establishing it as the baseline HDR format. Emerging iterative standards—HDR10+ and Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG)—seek to address dynamic metadata needs and broadcast compatibility, but HDR10 remains the foundational entry point for HDR content creation and consumption worldwide.
