What does HDR10 mean?

High Dynamic Range 10 (HDR 10) is an open High Dynamic Range (HDR) video standard that supports 10 bit color depth. It's a technical standard with specific, defined ranges and specifications that content and displays must meet in order to qualify as using it.
HDR10 is a metadata format for describing HDR and sending that along with the video. It uses static metadata that is consistent across all displays. This means HDR10 video sets light and color levels in absolute values, regardless of the screen it's being shown on.
HDR10 enhances the picture quality compared to regular content.
