Webrender: HDR video support

Created on 15 Jun 2018  路  1Comment  路  Source: servo/webrender

With AV1 my understanding is that HDR video is going to become a thing we have to support. There are two levels of support:

  • HDR YUV video frames upload and rendering, with a shader that converts outputs non-HDR content,
  • HDR compatible pipeline that can leverage HDR displays.

I was told that supporting HDR in the shader is more involved than our current non-HDR "just multiply by this matrix" color conversion code and that VLC uses a somehting that generates shaders on the fly for HDR video.
