According to YugaTech, Google has introduced Eclipsa Video in Android 17, a new HDR video standard aimed at delivering more consistent brightness and colors across devices. The announcement was made as part of the Android 17 developer preview.
The Eclipsa Video standard is designed to address fragmentation in HDR playback, ensuring that content appears as intended regardless of display capabilities. It combines existing HDR formats with new metadata to improve color accuracy and brightness mapping.
This move could simplify HDR content creation and playback for developers and users, reducing the need for multiple HDR profiles. Android 17 is expected to roll out to Pixel devices first, with other manufacturers following.
