HDR10+ is the latest version of the HDR (High Dynamic Range) format. The current HDR10 standard uses static metadata present on an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc to initially set brightness which then remains unchanged for the duration of the disc when it's played back.

Where HDR10+ improves on HDR is because it uses dynamic tone-mapping metadata to allow brightness to be adjusted frame by frame. The results are much more dynamic looking, colourful and realistic HDR images, closer to the creator's original vision.

Naturally, to playback HDR10+ compatible Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, an HDR10+ ready TV and AV receiver (if the Ultra HD Blu-ray player goes via the receiver) will also be required.

Pioneer UDP-LX800 HDR10+

The firmware release will be announced via Pioneer's website when it is ready.
