Is HDR coming to Sky Cinema?

[HavencroftKev]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have any information as to whether HDR is coming to the Sky Cinema UHD?

Sky Sports UHD has HDR and I have to say it's stunning.

I do hope it does come soon.

Hi HavencroftKev

Thank you for your post and welcome to our community.

If you have a 360 box with us, this should already support HDR. 

Is there no option showing for the Sky Cinema?

Please pop back to us when you can.

Yes I have a 360 box, but I don't appear to be able to get Sky Cinema to play in HDR. UHD yes but not HDR, Sky Sports UHD plays HDR no problems.

Hi @HavencroftKev,

Would you mind expanding on this for me, please? What's happening when you play Sky Sports UHD that isn't happening when you play Sky Cinema?

Thanks,

Do you mean HDR or HDR10?

[HavencroftKev]

Hi Zach, Yes that correct. When I play Sky Cinema UHD content the HDR does not kick in as it does when I play Sky Sports UHD content.

Hi @HavencroftKev 

Thanks for coming back to the thread. I have asked the team to check this and will let you know as soon as I have a reply.

Best wishes.

Hi @HavencroftKev 

I have heard back from the team. 

We don't have HDR for Sky Cinema UHD. It's SDR only.

Best wishes.

Thanks for coming back John, however my original question was whether there were any plans for HDR to come to Sky Cinema.

Apologies for the confusion @HavencroftKev. We don't have any news on this at this current time.

Please keep an eye on our news page here for any future updates.
