Have you ever taken a picture and noticed that some parts of it are too bright while other parts are too dark? High-dynamic-range (HDR) video helps solve this problem!
Imagine you are watching a movie with really dark shadows in one part of the scene, but in another part, there is really bright sunlight. Sometimes, the camera can't capture both of these things properly, and the dark shadows might appear too dark, while the bright areas might blend together with a washed-out look.
HDR video solves this issue by using technology that captures more information about the brightness levels in each part of the scene. This means that the camera can better capture both the bright sunlight and the dark shadows at the same time!
With HDR video, each pixel in an image has more information about its brightness, which helps show all the details in the image. It also means that when you watch a movie on an HDR-compatible TV, the colors, shadows, highlights, and details all look more realistic and vibrant.
So, in simple terms, HDR video makes pictures and videos look more true-to-life, by capturing more information about the brightness levels in each part of the scene.
