Converting HDR10 to Dolby Vision 5.0 or 8.1 in AWS Elemental Live - AWS Elemental Live

Converting HDR10 to Dolby Vision 5.0 or 8.1 in AWS Elemental Live

You can convert video in the HDR10 color space to Dolby Vision 5.0 or 8.1.

If you convert the video to Dolby Vision 5.0, video players that are Dolby Vision-compliant will be able to play it. If you convert the video to Dolby Vision 8.1, video players that are Dolby Vision-compliant and video players that are HDR10-compliant will be able to play it.

When you convert a suitable video to Dolby Vision, Elemental Live makes the following changes:

  • It doesn't change the pixel values, because HDR10 and Dolby Vision both use the same color space.

  • It changes the color space metadata to identify the new color space.

  • It applies the new brightness function to the video.

  • It calculates the Dolby Vision display metadata for the video.

After the conversion, the video fits in the new color spaces, but the color is not any richer than before the conversion, because the color space hasn't changed. However, the bright parts of the video are brighter, and the dark parts are darker.
