Quote:Ultra HD Blu-ray will support several different types of HDR metadata, including Dolby Vision and HDR10, an open standard supported by the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE). However, HDR 10 is a requirement for Ultra HD Blu-ray authoring. The rest will be up to individual content creators, and require TV compatibility with a specific type of HDR Metadata.From this article.
Yep. Dolby are hoping people will go with Dolby Vision - but the practicalities of using it in anything other than film-style production are looking significant. Broadcasters are looking at a different standard to support live and as-live multi camera production (and avoid Dolby's proprietary system and licensing costs)
I've seen a number of HDR demonstrations. By far the most impressive display was the eyeball-searing Sony OLED display fed with some content shot, I think, on an F65. The way it captured and displayed bright detail in highlights was stunningly good.
