High contrast and detailed images

Multi HDR support

The range of ultra-high-definition HDR content is growing rapidly. Panasonic's UB824 is equipped for the future thanks to Multi HDR support. In addition to Hybrid Log Gamma for UHD television and the static HDR10 format, the player supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. These next-generation dynamic HDR standards use dynamic tone mapping to optimize the presentation of each individual scene and produce high-contrast images of unprecedented quality.

Optimal processing of HDR content

HDR Optimizer

Conventional HDR-compatible televisions use tone mapping to display HDR content with static metadata. Depending on the TV manufacturer/model, this can result in colour gradations and details not being displayed, especially in the darker parts of the picture. The new Panasonic HDR Optimizer optimizes tone mapping and distributes brightness within the displayable area. As a result, content that complies with the HDR10 standard is also displayed in an optimized way.

Breathtaking colors and picture details

4K High-Precision Chroma Processing

The technologies used for Panasonic's unique 4K High-Precision Chroma Processing originate directly from the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, the basis of Panasonic's Blu-ray Disc research and development. Thanks to the high-performance processor, original 4K signals (4:2:0) are interpolated through a multi-tap chroma process to an even more detailed signal output (4:4:4), thus gaining even more depth and naturalness.
