Amsterdam, Netherlands, IBC Conference, Stand 7.F11 (September 15, 2017)— AJA Video Systems today announced support for HDR 10+ in the developer SDK for the company’s award-winning video and audio I/O products that support 4K workflows. This new development will be demonstrated at IBC with pre-release SDK software supporting the dynamic metadata that HDR 10+ delivers.

 “With dynamic metadata, picture quality can be adjusted scene-by-scene, and the image quality is stunning,” said Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video Systems. “We’re very excited about offering HDR 10+ support as part of our SDK available to developer partners, ensuring our partners can bring all the latest tools for HDR production to users as fast as possible.”

HDR 10+ builds from HDR 10, adding dynamic metadata and more, allowing for scene by scene or even shot by shot variation. The standard allows for recognizing a display’s color space and more.

• SMPTE 2094-40 Dynamic Metadata for Color Volume Transforms (DMCVT)
• Color transforms optimized for each scene and each display
• Metadata tracks carry supplementary color grading information
• Minimum signal interface: HDMI 2.0a
• Playback color representation BT.2020 or BT. 709 dependent on display
• Playback transfer function: ST 2084
