Pioneer adds HDR10+ capability to the Universal Disc Player line, starting with the UDP-LX800 and UDP-LX500, allowing them to better realise "the incredible dynamic luminance potential of UHD Blu-ray discs."
HDR10+ is the latest version of the HDR format. The current HDR10 standard uses static metadata present on a UHD Blu-ray disc to initially set brightness, which remains unchanged for the duration of the disc. HDR10+ improves on HDR through dynamic tone-mapping metadata allowing brightness adjustment on a frame-by-frame basis. The result is more dynamic, colourful and realistic HDR images, closer to the original vision of the creator.
