Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday that it will support Youtube’s global high dynamic range (HDR) playback on television through an expanded version of the Yutube application starting this month, making it the first TV maker to support Youtube’s HDR content.

HDR is an image reproduction technology that analyzes the contrast ratio of a video to help express even the most subtle differences in shades and tones of color. With its capacity to generate peak brightness of 1,000 nits, Samsung’s Quantum dot TV is optimized for the most ideal HDR viewing experience, the company said in a statement.

Users of all Samsung Quantum dot TV and ultra-high definition (UHD) TVs can access HDR content simply by visiting the HDR category within the YouTube application on YouTube’s 4K channel. Samsung will launch a worldwide automatic software update sometime this month to start the service.

“With the global availability of YouTube’s HDR, we at Samsung are thrilled to support the best HDR viewing experience and a wide range of HDR content for users to enjoy,” said Seline Han, Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We are confident that our TVs will bring to life an immersive HDR viewing experience - all from the comfort of our users’ homes.”

YouTube will enhance its HDR content for the new launch, featuring new HDR videos from popular YouTube content creators, such as MysteryGuitarMan and Jacob + Katie Schwarz. Moreover, those content creators will be offered recording time at YouTube Spaces in Los Angeles and New York, both of which have HDR production equipment.
