[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Samsung Electronics announced on the 20th that it plans to accelerate the spread of HDR10+ content by partnering with domestic online video service (OTT) companies such as TVING and Watcha.

HDR10+ is a video standard technology led by Samsung Electronics. It is a technology that optimizes brightness and contrast for each scene considering the performance of displays on TVs, mobiles, and other devices.

Since 2019, Samsung Electronics has been distributing HDR10+ content conversion software free of charge. Several video content companies such as CJ OliveNetworks, Watcha, U5K Imageworks, and Candit Studio utilize this software.

In the case of TVING, HDR10+ has been applied since last year. It plans to provide a total of about 40 HDR10+ contents, including recently aired TVING original contents such as 'Seoul Check-in', 'Dwaeji-ui Wang (King of Pigs)', 'Sulkkun Doshi Yeoja-deul (Workaholic City Women)', and 'Goei (Strange)'.

Watcha has been servicing HDR10+ content since 2020. HDR10+ has been applied to about 30 movies and TV programs, including Watcha original series like 'Hanwha Eagles: Clubhouse'.

The UHD Blu-ray title of the movie 'Parasite' presented by CJ E&M was released in January last year after HDR10+ remastering work by Plain Archive and Candit Studio.

Samsung Electronics established a company called 'HDR10+ Technology LLC' in 2018 and operates HDR10+ certification and logo programs as well as provides technical support.

As of this month, 139 member companies including TV and display manufacturers, system-on-chip (SoC) companies, and content providers have released more than 5,000 certified models.

Yong Seok-woo, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business, said, "HDR10+, a video standard technology developed by Samsung Electronics, is steadily being applied to works by the top content providers in Korea," adding, "We will actively expand partnerships with various companies to contribute to the domestic content industry."
