HDR

What is HDR?

HDR, or High Dynamic Range, is a technology used in photography and video that allows for a wider range of colors and brightness to be captured or displayed.

In photography, HDR involves taking multiple photos of the same scene at different exposures and combining them to create an image with more detail in both the shadows and highlights. This can result in a more realistic and visually stunning image, particularly in challenging lighting conditions such as high contrast scenes. In video, HDR is used to display a wider range of brightness levels and colors, allowing for a more realistic and immersive viewing experience. HDR content is typically encoded with additional metadata that specifies the desired brightness and color levels, which can be interpreted by compatible displays to produce a more accurate and vibrant image. Overall, HDR technology is becoming increasingly popular in both photography and video, and can provide a significant improvement in the quality and realism of visual content.
