if you view this page with a recent iPhone or iPad with low-power mode turned off, you should see a very bright white color above. on a Mac displays with HDR support, you should see a white color that is brighter than #ffffff
. on unsupported displays, you should see a normal white color.
for example of a practical usage, see: https://notes.dt.in.th/HDRQRCode

Creating the video
I used Final Cut Pro.
- Create a library with Wide Gamut HDR color processing setting.
- Create a project.
- Add a solid white color generator.
- Set Color to Bright White.
- Crank up Graphics HDR Level to 100.
- Add the HDR Tool video effect.
- Set Mode to SDR to HDR (PQ).
- Crank up Peak Brightness to 5000 nits.
- Export the video using HEVC 10-bit as the codec.
