This SMPTE webcast presents an integral workflow system for mastering HDR content for theatrical and home distribution. The foundational building blocks are the SMPTE standards ST 2084, ST 2086, and the ST 2094-X suite. The definition and usage of these standards in support of HDR content creation and distribution will be examined. The emphasis is on the methods enabling visual consistency across displays with a wide range of characteristics. Finally, examples of these building block standards working with other international standards in current eco-systems will be reviewed.
