Just seen that hdr is available for this weekend practices and race. Looking forward to seeing the cars in hdr this season and hopefully will look better than football does at times

Hi @Kodibhoy

Certainly no UHD HDR showing here. Only UltraHD. (UHD)

Where did you see that HDR was available?

It says HDR in the rail header - hopefully it will be.

Hi @Kodibhoy

If you select any of the F1 events and then other showings or All Formats if shown none of them say HDR ; only UHD

We'll have to see on the day

Sky's mistake probably... Probably mean Ultra HD rather than Ultra HDR (which isn't really a thing )

tho hope I'm wrong and it is in HDR

It only shows UHD for the upcoming premier league games which we know are in HDR

The HDR Rail for Sky Cinema is notoriously unreliable. Half the things on it don't have HDR and some are even only in HD, let alone UHD.

It's the "HD? Argh! " Rail 🙁

Sky do not provide the broadcast for F1 but FOM and it is in UHD not HDR. As far I understand it BT Sport provide HDR football broadcasts, again not Sky.

Sky have confirmed the F1 will be in HDR (as well as UHD) this season.

(EPL football has been in HDR for a while now)

It had better be. I just signed up for F1 based on this thread. UHD was no longer new and shiny enough to extract my wallet.

Hopefully all the HLG issues that have plagued what Sky Italia has been broadcasting for past 3 seasons have been resolved unless they've decide to stick with "fake" HDR as a resolution.

One would hope they have tested it properly before Friday's launch 😔

what makes me a bit nervous about this is that Sky receive their broadcasts from FOM and apart from reading that they were testing HDR last year i've not heard anything about them broadcasting in HDR this year they may be keeping it quiet 😄

I also noticed The F1 Show is in UHD this year - was that the case last year too?

I thought only the world feed was UHD, and all Sky cameras were upscaled 1080p, although admittedly that was the case back when it first launched in 2017, i'm probably way behind!

Trackside were 4k. Handheld were 1080p afaik including last season.
