Introducing VESAI SDR to HDR Mastering We are told that once video data is compressed, it’s gone forever. We are told that you cannot create “real” High Dynamic Range (HDR) from a low-bitrate Standard Dynamic Range (SDR) source like YouTube. We are told creating real HDR from SDR sources is “impossible“.
