Marking the biggest commitment yet to high dynamic range (HDR) content, Twentieth Century Fox has decided to make a version of all of its new movies in Ultra HD with HDR for home entertainment.
High dynamic range — meaning a wider range between the whitest whites and blackest blacks in an image — is viewed by many Hollywood tech leaders as the key feature that will create a more noticeable picture advancement for viewers.
To do this, the recently-formed studio and manufacturer coalition UHD Alliance is aiming to work swiftly to create an agreed, consistent and inter-operable HDR quality specification for home entertainment.
