We\u2019ve all been there: You\u2019re scrolling through your favorite social media feed in a dim room, and suddenly an HDR video pops up. It\u2019s so intensely bright that you have to squint, or maybe you find yourself turning down your screen brightness just to read the caption. Other times, a video that looks vibrant on your phone looks flat, dark, or washed out when you watch it on your living room TV. <\/p>\n
While High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology was designed to make videos look richer and more lifelike, the lack of unified industry guidelines means that the exact same clip can render in unexpected and jarring ways depending on the display you\u2019re using.<\/p>\n
To solve this, we\u2019re introducing Eclipsa Video\u2014a new standard built to make your favorite videos look consistent, balanced, and comfortable on every screen. Eclipsa Video builds on the open SMPTE ST 2094-50 specification<\/a>, which Google developed in collaboration with Apple and NBCUniversal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sudden brightness spikes during feed scrolling\u2014fixed with Eclipsa Video.<\/i><\/div>\n <\/i><\/p>\n Eclipsa Video moves past individual display guesswork. Instead of leaving it up to your device to interpret a video\u2019s brightness on its own, our format carries precise guidelines that tell compatible displays exactly how to render the image. <\/p>\n Designed to scale with your hardware, Eclipsa Video provides three core benefits:<\/p>\n Starting with Android 17, support for Eclipsa Video is built directly into the platform. This means a more comfortable, true-to-life HDR experience is coming natively to the phones, tablets, and TVs you rely on every day. The video you capture carries its creative intent with it, and the video you watch is shown exactly the way it was meant to be seen.<\/p>\n We\u2019re inviting the developer and creator ecosystem to help build a more reliable HDR environment:<\/p>\n Eclipsa Video is rolling out now, and you\u2019ll see more apps and devices supporting it over time. Because it\u2019s an open standard, any app developer or hardware manufacturer can integrate it to elevate the viewing experience.<\/p>\n Try out the new tools in Android 17, explore the open-source metadata, and let us know what you think on our developer channels. We can\u2019t wait to see what you create.<\/p>\n 1. Device Compatibility:<\/strong> Eclipsa Video playback and capture are supported natively on devices running Android 17 (API level 37) and above with HDR displays passing Eclipsa Compliance tests.<\/p>\n 2. Developer Resources:<\/strong> The SMPTE ST 2094-50 Specification<\/a> is openly accessible for technical evaluation.<\/p>\n Source: Tech \u2013 Android \u2013 Android Developers Blog<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Posted by Tibian Elsheikh, Product Manager, Android Core Graphics and Jeffrey Jose, Product Manager, Android Core Graphics<\/p>\n<\/a><\/div>\nMore consistency, comfort, and creative control<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
