Netflix now supports HDR on Windows 10, the media giant today detailed.
“This feature is the culmination of a multi-year collaboration between Netflix and a number of industry partners,” Netflix said in a new blog post.
“Intel’s 7th generation and higher CPUs provide that capability needed to play the Netflix HDR10 encodes. In addition, both Intel and Nvidia developed GPUs that use 10 bits-per-channel for each of the RGB colors, increasing the color space that can be represented. With this new hardware available in consumer PCs, Netflix and Microsoft partnered together to put the software pieces in place.”
Netflix added that OS and browser changes as part of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update were integral to the functionality.
