YouTube supports HDR videos
November 8, 2016
Online video portal YouTube has confirmed that it will now support content in the HDR (High Dynamic Range) format.
In a blog post, the company wrote: “Starting today, you can watch YouTube videos in HDR on supported devices, such as HDR TVs with the new Chromecast Ultra, and soon on all 2016 Samsung SUHD and UHD TVs. If you’re using a device that doesn’t yet support HDR, don’t worry, videos will still play in standard dynamic range. As more HDR devices become available, YouTube will work with partners to enable streaming of the HDR version.”
