Tech details for nerds

Web Player:

  • Chromium has: Casting, HDR10, stereo audio.
  • Safari has: AirPlay, Dolby Vision, Dolby surround sound, Airpods spatial audio.
  • Firefox has: Usually just basic SDR & stereo audio. On some macOS systems Firefox may decode HDR.

In general HDR requires an HDR display. Any given AirPlay or Cast device may or may not support these features.

For Chromium users without HDR displays, you will likely get a better looking image by manually selecting SDR in the gear menu. (It doesn’t know which to automatically choose unless I were to write a lot of fancy logic to detect what kind of display you have, and typing with paws is difficult, so I haven’t).

Once the web player ramps up to 4K quality, it is based on the same video encodes as the downloadable versions. The web player may pull from various audio tracks including AAC Stereo, Dolby AC-3, and (the default) Dolby E-AC-3, depending on what your device can do.

The “test” text during the intro:

  • If you don’t see “test”: Your device is decoding SDR.
  • If you see “test” but no brightness change: You device is decoding HDR10.
  • If you see “test” with a corresponding brightness change: Your device is decoding Dolby Vision.

This is not a guarantee of what your display can do, but simply revealing which version your device is decoding. The “test” text corresponds to a change in the Dolby Vision metadata that should cause a brightness change to occur if it is being decoded.

Downloads:

  • All variants are 2160p29.97.
  • All variants include a Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3) 5.1 Surround audio track at 384kbps. Some S/PDIF devices may not pass the E-AC-3 bitstream.
  • SDR is AVC (H.264) Level 5.1.
  • HDR10 is HEVC (H.265) Level 5, and the metadata (ST.2086) is fairly generic (1,000 nit master on a P3 display).
  • Dolby Vision is Profile 5 Level 7, and has dynamic metadata for each shot, including manual trim passes.

Hopefully most Smart TVs, Plex servers, game consoles, etc. will play them happily.

The SDR version was actually derived from the HDR master using the Dolby Vision tonemapping algorithm, which optimized its downmap uniquely for each shot, and was then tweaked by hand (by paw :3) on every shot. By comparison, the YouTube SDR version is derived using a single transform (LUT) that has to apply to the whole program, and thus the YouTube SDR version doesn’t look as good in most spots.

Final notes:

Please reach out to Paradox Wolf if you have any questions, issues or want to give him hugs. :3
Credits for the production crew are at the end of the video. A lot of painstaking work went into this on many sides, so I hope it is appreciated. :3
