“HDR represents a new way of thinking about video,” Munsil said, “with a completely different approach to transfer functions, or what we used to call ‘gamma,’ and that meant that a bunch of old patterns just plain didn’t work anymore.
Content can now be smartly scaled to use the color depth and dynamic range of the display, which means the content you watch today will actually look better on future display technologies. When properly implemented, HDR content remains backwards-compatible with today’s technology while making available metadata and picture information that will produce brighter, more dynamic, and more colorful images on future TVs. Instead of creating a standard based solely on the capabilities of existing displays, video-standards bodies designed HDR to meet the capabilities of future displays as well, the developers explained. HDR was designed with the future in mind. “We believe this disc completely changes the game for test and evaluation discs, by making use of all of the features and range that HDR and wide-gamut standards can offer.” “Every pattern has been rethought with high dynamic range (HDR) and Ultra HD in mind,” said co-creator Stacey Spears. Stacey Spears and Don Munsil, creators of the acclaimed Spears & Munsil High Definition Benchmark series of test and calibration discs, have announced the release of the UHD HDR Benchmark, a 4K Blu-ray disc dedicated to the calibration and evaluation of 4K Ultra HD (UHD) displays that support high dynamic range (HDR).Īvailable on for $39.95, the disc is said to provide a wealth of test and demonstration materials that enable professionals and amateur enthusiasts alike to evaluate TV performance, identify weak links in hardware and software, and dial in optimal settings.
