HDR

HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technique in imaging and display technology that expands the range of luminance and color beyond standard dynamic range (SDR), producing more realistic and detailed visuals with brighter highlights, deeper shadows, and a wider color gamut. It is widely used in photography, video production, gaming, and consumer displays to enhance visual quality and viewer experience.

Also known as: High Dynamic Range, HDR Imaging, HDR Video, HDR10, Dolby Vision
