SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

HDR authoring and delivery pipelines are complex, requiring orchestration of multiple formats (HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HLG) and accurate metadata injection to maintain fidelity across platforms.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end HDR workflow from source material through color management, per-scene metadata, and dual-format delivery (HDR10/DoVi/HLG + SDR where applicable).
  • Metadata handling and cross-format conversions (PQ to HLG, HDR10 to SDR tone-mapping) with guardrails to preserve master-display and luminance information.
  • Compatible toolchain orchestration (ffmpeg HDR paths, hdr-dovi-tool, hdr-hdr10plus-tool, OCIO/ACES workflows) for OTT/broadcast pipelines and content creation.

Quick Start

Initiate an end-to-end HDR workflow from source content through metadata handling and multi-format delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions about workflow-hdr

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage per-scene metadata for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ mastering?

HDR mastering requires accurate per-scene metadata injection for Dolby Vision and HDR10+ to maintain fidelity. This workflow orchestrates metadata generation and embedding, preserving critical luminance and master-display information for compliant streaming and broadcast delivery.

How do I convert HDR10 PQ to HLG for broadcast delivery?

Converting HDR10 PQ to HLG involves cross-format tone-mapping with strict guardrails to preserve master-display and luminance data. This workflow handles PQ to HLG conversions directly, ensuring broadcast-compliant output without losing critical dynamic range metadata.

Do I need ffmpeg and hdr-dovi-tool for end-to-end HDR packaging?

End-to-end HDR packaging requires a compatible toolchain including ffmpeg with HDR color processing, hdr-dovi-tool, and hdr-hdr10plus-tool. The workflow orchestrates these tools alongside OCIO/ACES color management to produce compliant IMF/MP4 packages.

What is the best way to author dual-format HDR10 and Dolby Vision streams?

Authoring dual-format HDR10 and Dolby Vision streams requires cross-format mastering that preserves critical metadata across both formats. This workflow manages the end-to-end process from source material through color management to compliant packaging, ensuring accurate max-cll and max-fall encoding parameters.

Does this HDR workflow support OCIO and ACES-based color pipelines?

Yes, the HDR workflow supports OCIO and ACES-based color pipelines for professional video production. It integrates these color management frameworks to ensure accurate tone-mapping and cross-format mastering from HDR source material through to final delivery.

When should I not use automated HDR10 to SDR tone-mapping?

Automated HDR10 to SDR tone-mapping may not be suitable when precise creative control over highlight rolloff and shadow detail is required. While this workflow provides guardrails to preserve luminance information, manual color grading might be necessary for complex scenes with critical dynamic range transitions.
