Comment on Am I doing HDR wrong?
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 11 months agoHDR is actually the BT.2020 color gamut. Films mastered in HDR typically use DCI-P3 because that’s the standard for theaters, but it’s a smaller color gamut than BT.2020, which is what even HDR10 (the most common form of HDR with the lowest specs) supports.

The article I cited says that modern HDR hardware can’t actually reach BT.2020, though that’s the ultimate goal.
Has that changed?

No, it can’t. Most hardware is targeting DCI-P3 (though some goes beyond it) because that’s what films are targeting in the mastering process, but HDR10 and all other HDR protocols (HDR10+, Dolby Vision, etc) all use the BT.2020 spec on the software side of things.
In other words, the software is ahead of the hardware for now.
