On October 23rd, a significant announcement was made regarding the official release of HarmonyOS 6. A key highlight of this release is the integration of HDR Vivid technology into live broadcasting scenarios, with Bilibili (B站) officially becoming the first platform to support HDR Vivid live streams.
This development marks a historic moment for mobile video. For the first time, live broadcast quality has surpassed that of pre-recorded videos, delivering a high-definition live streaming experience comparable to that of cinema. This achievement signifies the successful end-to-end implementation of China’s independent video standards.
HarmonyOS 6 deeply integrates HDR Vivid capabilities at the system’s core, optimizing the entire workflow for enhanced visual quality. This optimization spans across:
The capture end: Featuring an HDR Vivid camera engine designed to enable users to effortlessly capture professional-looking footage.
The transmission end: Utilizing AI image enhancement to ensure stable and high-definition real-time transmission.
The display end: The HarmonyOS HD live broadcast module outputs visuals at the highest possible standard, ensuring true-to-life color accuracy without distortion or washout.
This comprehensive approach means that the entire process, from content creation to viewing, operates on China’s own video standards.
HDR Vivid is a standard developed by the Ultra High-Definition Video Industry Alliance. It has also been recognized as an industry standard by the National Radio and Television Administration and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Crucially, it is China’s first high dynamic range display standard with independent intellectual property rights.
Compared to traditional video standards, HDR Vivid offers a wider range of brightness, richer color gradation, and more accurate reproduction of light and shadow. This allows mobile screens to provide a viewing experience that closely mimics human vision.
