Samsung and amazon create the new hdr10 + standard

Two of the biggest companies and the ones that are generating the most headlines in recent weeks are carrying out a joint project. As you can guess by the owner, it is Samsung and Amazon. The two companies have teamed up to develop and create new HDR processing.

Samsung and Amazon create the new HDR10 +

The name is HDR10 + standard. Although it is true that this new addition to the club can be somewhat chaotic, given the presence of already five different standards, it may be easier than it seems. There are currently four different HDR standards. These are: HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG and Advanced HDR. The addition of HDR10 + standard complicates everything.

What does the new HDR10 + bring?

Logically you have to bring something new. But two companies like Samsung and Amazon were not open to work together. They have added an extra called " Dynamic Tone Mapping ". In Spanish you can know it as tonal mapping. Basically it serves to enrich the number of tones of an image. In this way they seek to prevent something that happens in HDR10. The different scenes in a movie often had different brightness. Some were darker and others too light. This is how we try to avoid that.

For those with HDR10 it is not necessary to buy a new television or a new screen. Samsung is going to give support and it will surely provide a way to switch to the HDR10 + standard. Now we have to wait for an update that makes this transition possible. At the moment HDR10 + standard will be available at the end of the year. What do you think of this new HDR10 + standard? Do you see it necessary? Or useful?
