Multi HDR Support
Our Ultra HD Blu-ray Players support multiple HDR formats, such as HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for films, and UHD Blu-ray discs. The new UB820 supports HDR playback of HDR10+ dynamic metadata, the next-generation standard. And it is compatible with Dolby Vison and Hybrid Log-Gamma. The synergistic effect achieved with our original high-quality image technologies enables even more precise image expression.
HDR Content with Even Greater Clarity
HDR Optimiser
Our original image processing technologies achieve HDR images with higher definition than before. Tone mapping is used to adjust the brightness level of the content. And even HDR images from ordinary HDR10 and TV footage, which do not support special new formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, provide optimal playback.
