I have a use case where I get images from Carla simulator buffer in a python script, running on a Win10 localhost, and I want to show these images on an HDR screen in a full 10 bit color depth.

Unfortunately I have not found a library yet that is capable of showing 10bit images and I wouldn't have expected this to be so complicated. Any advice is highly appreciated.

Best regards Robert

  • Are they video or still images? What device do they come from? How does the manufacturer suggest displaying them? What OS do you use? – Mark Setchell Jan 11 '22 at 16:15
  • It's not a movie but single images. I use Win10 and I create these images using the Carla simulator. – roque2205 Jan 12 '22 at 09:52
  • Requests for tools and libraries are off-topic, and for helping you with your code, you need to include the code (as a [mcve]) in the question. See [ask]. – Robert Jan 19 '22 at 21:36

Well, there is such a way - be it using your current GPU + O/S + HDMI + Monitor available capabilities ( Intel advises how do a setup for theirs graphics chips, similarly do other HW manufacturers ),

Summary

Integrated Graphics can support 10-bit color depth.

Description

How to find out if your Intel® Graphics device supports a display with 10-bit color depth.

Resolution

Intel Graphics supports 10-bit and 12-bit color depths (known as deep color). The current Intel Grapchics Driver sets the color depth per the OS configuration by default. You can also manually set the color depth to 10 or 12 bit starting with Intel® Graphics Command Center version 1.100.3407.0 for native HDMI connections (if supported by the display).

You can also enable HDR (High Dynamic Range) and WCG (Wide Color Gamut) in the operating systems for higher color depths by going to Windows > Display settings > Windows HD Color. If the content you're trying to view is 10-bit, switch to Full Screen mode, and the driver will automatically switch to the higher color depth, given HDR and WCC are enabled. This is also true for most DirectX applications.

Note
The operating system, application being viewed, and driver will automatically determine which is the best mode to display dynamically.

or
using some other, HDR-Deep-Color ready hardware chain, as defined since about 2006 ( RPi possibly being one example of the simplest and cheapest case of doing such move )
