The high dynamic range (HDR) has been gaining attention as a scheme covering a luminance range with an increased maximum luminance value in order to represent bright light such as mirror-reflected light, which cannot be represented using current TV signals, with brightness closer to its actual brightness while maintaining dark grayscale values of existing video. Specifically, the scheme covering the luminance range supported by the existing TV signals is called the standard dynamic range (SDR) and has the maximum luminance value of 100 nit, and the HDR is expected to have an increased maximum luminance value of at least 1,000 nit.
It is desired that video data covering such an HDR be reproducible even by an existing reproduction device that supports only the SDR. In other words, there is a demand for video data that is reproducible as HDR video by a reproduction device supporting the HDR and reproducible as SDR video by a reproduction device supporting the SDR.
