4K HDR Backlight Guide

We want to make these days of quarantine more bearable and you can take advantage of this time to read the new new 4K HDR Backlight Guide. In 2015 we released the first 4K 709 guide, which has served as a starting point and guide to many of today’s professionals. To keep it as a reference guide, from Sala Contraluz we have added all the part related to HDR.

There are still many doubts about HDR, and this guide was created precisely to bring all the new knowledge to all of you. The guide contains 100 pages where the concepts surrounding HDR are explained in a simple but precise way. How we have arrived at this new technology and the possibilities it can offer us. Therefore, whether you have much or little experience in the world of HDR, this guide can serve as a starting point or to clarify some concepts that are not yet very clear.

All the information shared in this guide is based on the studies, experiments and training of the 2 creators of the guide: Luis Ochoa and Francisco Utray. After shooting with different cameras and optics, the brutes were taken to Sala Contraluz to see the response of the images and the reaction in color correction when working in HDR. The way of working in HDR changes with respect to working in 709 and to know how to work the signal correctly you need to know some basic concepts.

This guide is interesting for all profiles of the audiovisual world as HDR is changing the way of shooting and working in postproduction, so if you come from the world of directing, photography, editing or color, you can come very well to join and expand concepts that may not know that could affect when working in HDR as dynamic range, color spaces, the different curves, standards, etc…
