Similar to the introduction of the high-definition film and television formats HD and Ultra HD, HDR requires the adaptation of technology from film production and distribution technology to playback and display devices. Televisions must be HDR-compatible and be able to reproduce the moving image in the respective HDR format. Of course, film and television studios must produce the content in High Dynamic Range.
Ultra HD Blu-ray can store the additional data required for HDR and play it back via a Blu-ray player. The connection between player and display device is provided by HDMI, which supports both HDR10+ and Dolby Vision as HDMI 2.0. If HDR is to be received via conventional television channels, the transmission and reception technology must also be adapted accordingly. Streaming providers must provide HDR content via their streaming platforms.
