HDR & colour
HDR10+
Samsung/Panasonic's HDR format with dynamic (per-scene) metadata, royalty-free.
What is it?
HDR10+ adds scene-by-scene metadata to HDR10 so the display can tone-map each shot differently, like Dolby Vision but open and royalty-free. Supported by Samsung, Panasonic, Hisense, TCL, Philips, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+ and some UHD discs. Samsung TVs use HDR10+ instead of Dolby Vision.
Why it matters with the HDfury Vertex²
The HDfury Vertex² detects HDR10+ (since firmware 0.52), passes its vendor-specific packets through, and can include an HDR10+ block in the EDID it presents to the source so an HDR10+ player actually outputs it. Because HDR10+ metadata rides in a separate packet, you can keep it while still using LLDV for Dolby Vision-only titles on a Samsung.
How to use it on the Vertex²
Web server → EDID → Automix: enable the HDR10+ flag (default OFF since firmware 0.40), or select Custom EDID 4 / 9 which already include HDR10+. Keep 'Use custom HDR when input is LLDV' as the only HDR trigger so HDR10+ signals pass untouched.
