HDR remastering & colour grading

Prepare your film for an HDR release. We coordinate colour grading, Dolby Vision and HDR10+ metadata, encoding and delivery around your project, with a complementary SDR version when commissioned. Your project benefits from experience gained in more than 40 HDR remastering assignments for UHD Blu-ray.

Four examples of our work. HDR playback depends on YouTube, your browser and display; picture assessment needs a suitable playback chain.

From source material to final delivery

HDR remastering starts with the available master and intended release. We agree the look, HDR/SDR versions, dynamic metadata, encoding and disc authoring for each project, with specialist partners where required.

Grading is mainly performed in DaVinci Resolve, supported by our own OFX tools. Film restoration workflows use the Diamant Film Restoration Suite from HS-Art. Restoration and upscaling depend on the source material and agreed result. For HDR10+, we review metadata and scene boundaries and check playback on compatible devices.
