Android 17’s new video standard could make blinding HDR videos a thing of the past
Android 17 introduces the Eclipsa Video standard, which aims to curb overly bright HDR video playback while preserving detail. The technology uses adaptive tone‑mapping and dynamic range controls to balance brightness and contrast across devices. Google plans to roll the feature out to supported Pixel phones later this year.
- ▪The Eclipsa Video standard was added in Android 17 to address complaints about blinding HDR video brightness.
- ▪It employs adaptive tone‑mapping and dynamic range adjustments to keep details visible without over‑exposure.
- ▪The feature is built into the Android media framework and will be enabled on compatible Pixel devices through the upcoming OS update.
- ▪Google says the new standard improves the viewing experience while maintaining HDR color fidelity.
