It's the end of another month, really a two month reading, as the APRIL glitch (when the site was down FOR EVER), didn't really provide a good snapshot for just those 30 days.
Tonight, the Viewing Count for this HDR Discussion Thread is 9,135,668. March 31 was 8,797,955.
The difference= 337,713. approx 6140/day (for the 55 days the site was up & running.)
It's just a number, neither bad nor good. The pandemic has caused ups and downs on many things we care about.
On another note, this thread passed 15,000 posts today. HDR is having a good time.
If it wasn't for that virus we would be over 10 million views, and Maverick would have made a fortune @ the theaters. ...No time to die.

Anyway, and in so doing gain free access to this upcoming program on June 3 – “…..we will discuss the impact of adding additional primaries on the color gamut: reduction in metamerismand the ability to provide expanded colors outside the current color gamuts. We can display what has never been seen on earth before now: the colors in between the colors.
During the SMPTE+ event you will hear from technologists, creatives….”

Indeed ,but I think I shouldn’t have posted that pic on the last page as I fear with all the exposure the camera operator may now ask for more $$ for his services on the next gig.

Reason: spelling
Nope, at least not during this shoot with/as the lady’s engaged to another. Would you like an additonal hint or prefer to ponder on it a while longer?
My question meant to talk about the woman in Tom's life, to get a break from him.
That's all; it's nice to be free ... love is free. Chuck Norris shares his life with a beautiful woman, his wife.

I’ll teach ‘em to learn French if it’s the last thing I do. I mean if I can learn to speak and understand some things in Mandarin - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...n#post12862020 ,
these guys can sure learn to speak a little francais. You never know, it may well help out in getting from town to town when following a future Tour de France and not get into trouble with the wife….long story.
That's a nice touch; in both languages. Canadian French people have an important presence here, and so are French people from France. They are a force to be reckon with when it comes to the art of cinema. ...HDR of course.
My question meant to talk about the woman in Tom's life.....
Believe me, she’s in Tom’s life for sure, for years in fact, but not as a girlfriend. You see by referring to a ‘she’ in the background of the twitter photo on the last page then you inadvertently latched onto part of the answer to the question. Now, since she’s not well seen due to the behind the scenes lighting, now all you have to do is figure out what she does professionally and for the scene pictured. Really, not that difficult to figure as it’s quite logical.

Reddington, why the hell are you asking that at a time you’re surrounded by immoral gun men? You’re one cool dude. Okay then, I would search my old posts using the search word such as fundamental, which takes to you - https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread...s#post17456240
and maybe try ‘basic’, ‘terminology’, ‘nomenclature’ search words too. You’ll likely have to go way back as you seem to be a beginner and much has evolved with regards to HDR/WCG.
Thanks. I'm dabbling right now, but would be good to understand more about things like HDR10 vs. DV, tone mapping, etc.
As for a good, solid reference to ‘tone mapping’, you can also search Geoff D’s posts using that phrase. Although, a word of caution on that topic as initially he’s lovably cute, then to the detriment of some consumer electronics manufacturers and users - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJl_4IsQJ2g#t=1s
"Although not an OLED display, which is able to achieve perfect blacks, the Liquid Retina XDR display in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the best non-OLED display that I’ve seen, and technically speaking, it’s easy to understand why.
Of course, the iPad Pro display comes with all of the standard features that we’d expect. Hence, True Tone, P3 wide color, and ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate support is in tow, but that’s just the beginning.
This year’s 12.9-inch display features an absurd OLED-like 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, which makes the iPad a prime candidate for both viewing and grading HDR photos and videos. Such contrast is made possible by mini-LED technology, which packs inside more than 10,000 mini-LEDs. These custom-designed light sources are 120 times smaller than the LEDs in last year’s model, and features custom diffusers and optical films to produce a stunning image.
The Liquid Retina XDR display in the 12.9-inch iPad Pro can produce a sustained 1,000 nits of full-screen brightness, with 1,600 nits of peak brightness for HDR content. Peak brightness is possible for highlights in up to 40% of the screen area when the rest of the image is black or at a brightness level up to 600 nits. In other words, the display can’t achieve 1,600 nits of brightness across the whole display, but there’s no real world situation where such a scenario would be necessary.
Grouped together in clusters of four, each of the over 10,000 mini-LEDs form over 2,500 local dimming zones, which provide precise brightness control for each zone. That makes it so that small portions of the screen can deliver brighter highlights, and small details can be discernible even in the darkest areas. This additional control over light output also helps to reduce the blooming effect that you see when a light source is surrounded by a dark area.
When you consider that the $5,000 Pro Display XDR features a mere 576 individually controlled LEDs across a 32-inch display, it really puts into perspective how impressive the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is. Granted, it doesn’t feature all of the same bells and whistles as the Pro Display XDR, and it’s obviously a much smaller display with lesser resolution, but it’s nonetheless impressive.
Technical mumbo jumbo aside, the end result is a display that can be used to not only consume HDR content, but also to edit and grade HDR videos and photos. While the differences can often be subtle, they are definitely noticeable to the discerning eye. Movies that utilize HDR to the full, like Pacific Rim, look absolutely stunning when compared to the same movie on an iPad Pro with a standard Liquid Retina display.
Grading HDR videos, whether within the stock Photos app, or via third-party apps like LumaFusion, is now possible for the first time on an iPad. On older iPads it was possible to edit HDR content, but you could not accurately grade the footage due to a lack of brightness and contrast capability.
At 9to5Mac, the majority of our videos are shot with HDR in mind, so editing videos on the iPad was never really an option up until now. With the Liquid Retina XDR display, I can now edit and grade HDR footage shot with my Sony FX3 and Alpha 7S III without issue. LumaFusion is an absolutely fantastic and powerful way to edit video on the iPad Pro, and the experience has never been better."

I basically started this thread for myself, so I could go to one thread and find all the various comments, articles and videos that explained HDR. It took me about two years to basically understand HDR etc.
There are a number of good videos and conversations that helped this dummy to fully understand it.
