"Dynamic range is the ratio between the whitest whites and blackest blacks in an image. For example printed images have a dynamic range of less than 100:1 (because it is difficult to make a black ink that reflects less than 1% of incident light). Dynamic range is often measured in “stops”, which is the logarithm (base 2) of the ratio. So printed images have less than 7 stops of dynamic range. Standard dynamic range consumer television (8 bit video, e.g. DVD, SD and HD DVB) only supports about 6 stops of dynamic range, as discussed below. Professional SDR video (10 bits) supports about 10 stops. But the human eye can see up to about 14 stops of dynamic range in a single image. Higher dynamic range results in an experience closer to reality, and hence of greater impact or “immersion”. Furthermore higher dynamic range also increases the subjective sharpness of images and so provides a double benefit"
Herzlichen Dank für diesen Beitrag bringt er doch im wahrsten Sinne Licht ins Dunkel (zumindest in bei mir)
