HDR10+ Technologies LLC has announced the completion of technical and test specifications for bringing the benefits of HDR10+ to the home theater video projector category.
The organization boasts the availability of these specifications for licensed products—along with full certification support—will enable entertainment enthusiasts to enjoy their favorite 4K movies, concerts and television content the way their creators intended.
According to HDR10+, the format’s usage continues to rapidly grow, with more than 118 adopters currently offering or planning to provide a variety of compatible devices in both home and mobile product categories, including the latest 4K and 8K televisions. The announcement by JVC also marks the availability of HDR10+ with full dynamic metadata capability for traditional projectors.
“We are very excited at JVC to introduce the first standard home theater projector series that complies with the new HDR10+ Projector specifications. HDR10+ allows the true home theater enthusiast to reproduce the director’s intent automatically and in real time,” states Robert Budde, national product manager for D-ILA projectors at JVCKENWOOD USA.
“The HDR10+ format easily takes advantage of JVC’s advanced dynamic tone mapping, high native contrast and 32-point gamma to provide the most stunning HDR image every time.”
Dynamic HDR10+ Provides Numerous Advantages over Static HDR Technologies
The new HDR10+ Projector specifications address a number of key performance parameters, including peak luminance level, color space, white point, color gamut and tone-mapping. These allow HDR picture quality to be continuously adjusted, on a scene-by-scene basis, to ensure optimum brightness and contrast.
To support the adoption of HDR10+ Projectors, the HDR10+ Technologies LLC is also approving Authorized Test Centers who are capable of conducting a full range of tests to validate their performance.
