Backwards compatibility
The technology, which was developed by the BBC alongside NHK, is also backwards compatible with non-HDR equipment, meaning that the new standard won't break your non-HDR TV or set-top box.
Although without HDR-enabled hardware you obviously won't be able to enjoy the benefits that HDR content brings.
Much like 4K, content producers must make their TV shows or films in HDR in order for them to be available in this format, and since HDR is a relatively new technology this means there is currently a lack of content available.
