What are the system requirements to playback or edit an HDR (High Dynamic Range) video recorded with Cinema Pro or camera app? I want to edit a 4K or Full HD HDR video on a computer, what are the system requirements? Which file formats and codecs need to

Solution

Playback requirements

The playback application must support:

• H.265, (also known as HEVC, High Efficiency Video Coding)
• 10 bit
• MP4

The display must support:

• HDR, HLG (Hybrid Log Gamma) format

Editing requirements

The above requirements are also valid for editing. In addition, the editing application must support following video standard:
