High Dynamic Range, known more colloquially as HDR, promises the best picture quality you’ll ever see on a TV (at least until the next big leap).

It provides higher contrast, wider dynamic range, deeper blacks, and whiter whites, making newer movies and TV shows more immersive.

But there are two big caveats to enjoying the glory of HDR at home: Your TV needs to support it and the content needs to be coded for it.

In other words, watching non-HDR coded video (which is virtually everything), even on a fancy HDR-ready TV, won’t add anything.

But that could all change thanks to newly developed software that can convert non-HDR content (also known as Standard Dynamic Range or SDR for short) into HDR.

Researchers at French research institute, Bcom, have created special software that essentially makes old content HDR-ready in real time for broadcasts, Ars Technica’s Sebastian Anthony reports.

This process is no different from all of the classic movies that were converted into 3D a few years ago when 3D TVs were the hotness. Think of it as a “remastering” for the modern era.

According to Ars, the software intelligently analyzes each SDR video frame-by-frame and then assigns it a “lighting style” an appropriate profile…
