Unfortunately, my AVerMedia GC553 is generating a reddish image when I use P010 and all the settings to capture a game in HDR to do the tone mapping for SDR. I've tried everything possible to get off this reddish image.
I just got a SAMSUNG 32" Odyssey Neo G8 4K UHD 240Hz 1ms G-Sync 1000R Curved Gaming Monitor, LOVE IT! No problems with the monitor that I can find. Now I play my games in 4K and HDR, but your video showed me how to correct the OBS stream color back to normal on a single stream PC.
@EposVox, I tried to stream in HDR for a few months. In both Rec 2100 PQ or Rec 2100 HLG I noticed the picture quality is a bit overexposed for SDR viewers, specially in highlights. I used 203 nits as SDR peak brightness while in HDR I used 1000 nits as the peak brightness. After the stream, UA-cam takes over 2 days to process the metadata so that it can provide correct brightness and contrast for SDR viewers. Is there any solution for that as you are aware of?
I think it was a bug in the browser. I had the same issue just watching HDR content on my SDR display. The highlights would be completely blown out but if I moved the window to my HDR display, it looked perfect. In the past few months though, that seems to have been fixed and now HDR content is properly tone mapped on my SDR display.
Honestly getting application audio capture integrated into OBS(plugin was fine but you know, more people should use it!) and getting H.265 streaming ability to youtube without messing with ffmpeg outputs is huge for me. Can't wait for the full release, and hopefully plugins will be sorted out by then but I'm a bit skeptical about that since some of them need to be tweaked (or maybe even remade) for HDR as well.
Future comparison between AV1 - H.265 - H266 and maybe more new software tech would be cool to see. I personally think H.265 support is miles ahead of AV1 support, it will take couple years for AV1 to be on the support levels of H.265 in the software industry.
@@N0N0111 but h265 is problematic due to licensing, and nvenc h264 is really good and close to amd's hevc encoder in terms of quality, it doesnt really just mean "hevc = better qual" also av1 is better than hevc so lets just implement that instead of messing with h265/h266 licensing
Thanks for the love, subbed for life! So, I lied earlier. I wanted to stream in HDR but found out it wasn't possible while trying to multicast. I'm now streaming only on UA-cam and will NOW be broadcasting in UWQHD 1440p 60 FPS in HDR . Will be 120 FPS once I upgrade to the 4090 👽
I have been trying to stream Warzone and CS2 in HDR on UA-cam. When OBS is on, the colours look fine, just like on my monitor. When I watch the youtube stream, the colours appear washed out and too bright. What is the fix for that ?
wow wow slow down there tiger..... on my OBS Studio v30.0 i have all the options you're showing here, except one: main 10 .... i do NOT have that option under the Profile dropdown menu... is Profile Main 10 selection a deal breaker for HDR streaming????
@@EposVox i have another question... i got the rx7900xtx card in my rig, connected to a HDR10, 4k, 240hz monitor... i couldn't help but notice that in your video you set the bitrate to 25000 kbps... when i tried that, i got a mess of a stream... i found that my sweet spot is a bitrate of 10000 kbps to do a 4k HDR stream... my internet upload speed is on average 240mbps... i don't get it... with my internet connection coupled with my top notch hardware, shouldn't i be able to increase the bitrate?? and NOT lower it, in order to get an excellent 4k HDR stream???
Somehow the SDR tonemap of this video looked better than usual aswell. Now that I'm on my HDR screen, there's a ton of noise in your talking head sections. Has that always been there and HDR makes it more obvious or is that new?
It’s added film grain. I’m specifically testing to see if UA-cam’s AV1 has the cool grain synthesis that Netflix uses, but it seems that’s not the case so far
@@EposVox Ha, neat idea :) You're trying it on regular videos because those are more likely to be av1'd by YT I presume? I must say that I think it degrades visual quality quite a bit though.
Fantastic as always Adam! Looking forward to more videos about HDR gaming/streaming. And that's not to mention about AV1 that's coming soon(I hope with Nvidia/AMD/Intels new cards) As always I wish you and the family the best! =D
Thanks for the video! Any workflow for dual PC setups using capture cards for HDR? As you know the cloning of a display disables HDR in the OS, and wondering if you have a workaround (other than NDI).
@@EposVox ah had forgotten about why I avoided this originally. Is there any con to this workflow other than having OBS on the game PC? Greatly appreciate your time!
For projector preview, the con is obs running and using up some GPU load (though not as much as your full stream layout) but that’s it. You eliminate tearing this way too which is a plus
Great video. I'm trying to setup my equipment for 4K HDR streaming. I'll be gaming on the 65" CX/PS5 which will be hooked up to my PC rig using Elgato 4K 60 Pro Mk2- 3080/5900X with 3 1440p non HDR monitors for OBS/UA-cam monitoring. I do have one issue though, under "Properties for Video Capture Device" in OBS, it won't allow me to change the "Video Format" setting to P010 and it is stuck on "ANY". Do I need to setup my PC with an HDR monitor/Windows HDR mode to fix this setting/ to be able to stream in HDR? Edit: Uninstalled and Reinstalled elgato drivers and now I was able to change Video Format setting to P010.
The image quality in your videos have such an amazing vintage charm to them. Is there anything explaining how you get it to look that way? I'm a huuuge fan of that style 🥲
I've tried this, and its works, but the only problem is, on youtube looks like HDR, but doesn't show 4k HDR, and you can't find any resolutions with HDR, any suggestions? I don't use any capture card, only the encoder from the graphics card.
Okay for some reason UA-cam HLS is capping the bitrate to somewhere below 20mbps. I cant get any higher than that otherwise the stream will be unstable. This is kinda fucked because I wanted to do high bitrate 4K HDR streams so that I wouldn't have to record. Can you look into this?
Can you explain why no matter what bit rate I put in UA-cam still gives me a warning for 1080p 60 frames per second that my bit rate is 2000 but my bit rate is higher and it stays at 2000 no matter what bit right I put it at
^ you got it Confusing if you show up in the short term and watch the whole thing, but far less confusing to everyone else who shows up and only wants one of the guides
@@EposVox That makes sense. I tend to watch from start to finish rather than just dipping in but can see how you've avoided people missing out on critical info.
how long does it take for the full HDR version of this video becomes available i want to test out my own videos? it took months for one video i did to show in HDR
Hello EposVox, i watched and liked ur Video this helped me on OBS Options alot. May i ask a quick Question and maybe you are aware of my Problem with Davinci Resolve (i use version 18.6) My Problem is: After i record with OBS and ur settings for HDR (exact same) - and edit with resolve i dont get HDR after upload (i mean youtube doesnt show it in options, like it does in urs) and i cannot turn on HDR in Davinci resolve. How come? O.o i tryed everything like LUTs or even NODEs (this is the only way i can show HDR content - by Colore Grading) BUT i dont want to do it this way..there has to be a way to turn it on in Davinci w/o Color Grading. can you plz help me .... i watched thousands of different video content about davinci and everyone has the option turned on ..for me it iot showing but its GREY cant touch it :(
Forgive me if you're gonna cover this in the next vid, but the color/gamma seemed quite off on this video, dim and low contrast. YT was playing it at 1080p with HDR. Watching on an M1 macbook air. Similar experience on my TV watching on the YT app via a Nvidia Shield.
Just checked on phone and TV and looks fine on both. White text is grey because I haven’t figured out how to make that cooperate in resolve (if you can, it shouldn’t be pure white in hdr anyway) but otherwise looks fine o_O
did you ever have a Hikvision Webcam for testing? I would love to hear your oppinion about those, in my oppinion pretty good webcams. They are cheaper then most "mainstream" known webcams but better, as Hikvision is one if not the biggest video camera manufacturer. If you like, I can connect you with somebody from Hikvison, as I am working for one of their german distributors.
I seem to be having the weirdest issue that I don't even know how to troubleshoot. I followed these instructions twice on two different computers, have google fiber internet, streaming from obs appears to work just fine and 0 frame drops. When I pull up the stream on the same or different device it is nothing but a slide show, like less than 1 fps. However it is in HDR so that is working. OBS reports that youtube is getting all the frames, but apparently youtube is tossing out hundreds of frames before sending the video back out again. I'm very much at a loss right now.
Hey Adam, I have tried the capturing in 4K HDR. However, when I then start rendering in DaVinci Resolve and upload to UA-cam. It doesn't seem to recognize the HDR format. I've used the 4K Capture
Being able to finally use my Elgato 4k pro in HDR on an AMD graphics card has been great. I was so bummed out that when I switched from Nvidia I lost the ability to capture HDR completely. Now I don't care about switching back anymore. Thanks for pointing out the capture card settings. I didn't know I had to change those in order to get actual HDR from the card. I thought something looked off. Lol.
If I want to play in HDR but stream in SDR to UA-cam while using HEVC encoder, do I still have to change the Color Format and Color Space settings in the 'Advanced' tab to P010 & Rec. 2100 (PQ) or is it enough to just change the Color Space of the Capture Window to Rec. 2100 (PQ)? My Advanced tab currently shows NV12 and Rec. 709 for those two settings.
I have everything setup correctly and followed this video throughly. I watched it like 5 times already but my obs screen looks so weird and when I click start streaming it doesn’t have an option for HDR just regular SDR when changing resolutions on UA-cam. Am I missing something or is it just going to process later like videos do?
@@EposVox I finally figured out the problem xD. I was turning on manual settings when i was making a new key. I needed to have it unchecked. But thanks for replying and telling me its supposed to work while streaming :).
What about HDR Streaming using 2 PC setup and NDI 5? This with the objetive of being able to use 4K 120Hz and Gsync on the gaming display but streaming in 4k HDR 60, I know that the NDI plugin for OBS does not work with OBS 28 and its very old, are there any other alternatives?
@@EposVox Thank you for answering! I read somewhere in the forums that the current implementation can support up to 16 Bits, but that does not seem right
Us overwhelming you with AV1 Requests but also only bc we trust you to do things right and not just some random encodes with the time it took like some other news sites 😅 new tech is exciting especially if covered right :)
I'm noticing something, not important but nice to know, my Oppo Reno 4 Pro (amoled 90hz display, 8bit P3) doesn't officially support hdr content, but since lately I can watch hdr youtube content and the "eye saver" feature gets disabled when doing so
Something really weird is happening.. I have gigabit internet and I can do 51000kbps on UA-cam RTMPS at 4K no problem. However, the HLS service seems to be capped around 20000kbps. No idea whats causing this issue.
Thank you for your video Adam. I followed your guide for playing in HDR and streaming in SDR. It works. The thing is, the video preview and output on OBS of the HDR game is too dim, washed out (Read Dead Redemption 2, running game capture fullscreen), but when I use the game in borderless mode, it looks perfect. Any ideas? Have you exprienced this?
I just dealt with this issue for some hours, tweaking settings. I don't have an actual fix, however, I do have a workaround, because i gave up on an actual fix, for now. When I alt tab back and fourth between fullscreen stream on Twitch and my game, it's literally a sub 1% margin of error. [[ Add 2 filters to your video source in OBS ]]: |--- HDR Tonemapping Override -> Tone Transform: [SDR:Reinhard]; White Level: 480 nits |--- Color Correction -> |-------- Gamma: -0.09 |-------- Contrast: 1.50 |-------- Brightness: 0.00 |-------- Saturation 0.08 |-------- Opacity: 1.00 |-------- Color Multiply: #FFFFFF |-------- Color Add: #000000 Twitch doesn't support HDR, according to documentation, so.. yeah, i guess we are playing the waiting game. If you try this, let me know if these settings were as good of a color match for you as they were for getting my stream output to be color-matched to my HDR input.
When editing OBS v28 HDR PQ video in DaVinci Resolve, it shows everything with this gray haze. Looks like others have had the same issue, but they only fix it by going to the color correction area, but that's wrong because input -> output is 1:1 for any given footage. Making color adjustments is upscaling SDR to HDR like the Windows Auto HDR feature. Not the same thing as HDR -> HDR. In Premiere, I got HDR to show as HDR. If I take a screencap of Premiere, I measure peak-brightness in the HDR range. With Davinci, it never goes over 150nits which means it's clearly in SDR. Even when outputting HDR video, it is the same gray haze. How do you get around this with your videos?
Ah now HDR is going to work there's going to be a big mess from all the bad HDR displays and re looking at cameras with HDR as output and not 709. Keep the fun going, thx
If anyone realizing Twitch still doesn't support HDR, and dealing with DIM/DARK/WASHED OUIT stream output, this was the workaround I came to after hours of fucking around [made myself]: I don't have an actual fix, however, I do have a workaround, because i gave up on an actual fix, for now.

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.8.1 Release Notes: · HDR is no longer compatible with 10-Bit Pixel Format.

@@EposVox soooo what does that mean? that they do some kind of weird pseudo hdr in 8 bit? or some 12bit magic? (I don't have an hdr dispplay nor I use windows :P)
Pretty crap that we can't just record and stream in HDR on the PC without additional software or hardware like a capture card, I mean the graphics card is playing the game in HDR so you would think it was as simple as clicking a switch or something and using something that supports it like UA-cam, I don't think twitch even allows HDR and discord is buggy when it comes to HDR content
I don’t get the HDR praise HDR makes my colors look washed up and dual whenever I use it on my OLED TV vs the vibrant and bright colors of the original settings
@@eirik1068 well OLED TVs are already made to have bright and vivid colors, HDR makes my tv look washed up and dual whenever it’s applied in gaming and watching TV so I turn it off.
@@TylerPKegger Be sure to check what standards of HDR your TV supports, as some HDR standards are pretty worthless for most TVs. Do look here on YT about TV and tech channels talking about HDR standards.
@@TylerPKegger Again. Then you are doing something wrong or there is something wrong with your TV. On my C8 OLED it looks amazing and the colours pop with higher brightness. Again, when applied correctly it looks amazing.

Can you do a bit of AV1 encodes on the updated encoders so we know what cpus can do what resolution/framerate?
go to ua-cam.com/users/account_playback and choose always prefer av1. most popular videos older than a week should have av1. have fun!
I think they meant to see what can encode CPU encoders, not play it back. Yes, I plan on covering that soon. Just takes a lot of time.
So if I understand well I can't stream HDR on Twitch, right ? So does that mean that I can't play in HDR ?
You cannot stream HDR to Twitch, but you can still play in HDR and stream in SDR as the first half of this video details
What about HDR Streaming using 2 PC setup and NDI 5? This with the objetive of being able to use 4K 120Hz and Gsync on the gaming display but streaming in 4k HDR 60, I know that the NDI plugin for OBS does not work with OBS 28 and its very old, are there any other alternatives?
I know it could be a very specific case scenario jajaja but I think it would be asome if it can be done
NDI will be updated
I don’t know if it supports hdr though
@@EposVox Thank you for answering! I read somewhere in the forums that the current implementation can support up to 16 Bits, but that does not seem right
Probably correct
After doing this, I've noticed it text looks very odd on my streams.
For games that don't like to work with game capture, is it possible to do HDR with Display Capture or WIndow Capture? Example would be Cyberpunk 2077.
Window capture works aside from the “BitBit” hooking mode, Display Capture works as well
Us overwhelming you with AV1 Requests but also only bc we trust you to do things right and not just some random encodes with the time it took like some other news sites 😅
new tech is exciting especially if covered right :)
I'm noticing something, not important but nice to know, my Oppo Reno 4 Pro (amoled 90hz display, 8bit P3) doesn't officially support hdr content, but since lately I can watch hdr youtube content and the "eye saver" feature gets disabled when doing so
Something really weird is happening.. I have gigabit internet and I can do 51000kbps on UA-cam RTMPS at 4K no problem. However, the HLS service seems to be capped around 20000kbps. No idea whats causing this issue.
HLS has issues with a lot of internet connections sadly
Great video! Thanks a lot ☺️🧡
i got a nvec error, cant stream 10 bit on this encoder
Are the video capture cards be able to capture HDR and stream it with HDR?
Yep
Me watching this video on my old, cheap TN monitor: ah, yes, HDR
Thank you for your video Adam.
I followed your guide for playing in HDR and streaming in SDR. It works. The thing is, the video preview and output on OBS of the HDR game is too dim, washed out (Read Dead Redemption 2, running game capture fullscreen), but when I use the game in borderless mode, it looks perfect.
Any ideas? Have you exprienced this?
I just dealt with this issue for some hours, tweaking settings. I don't have an actual fix, however, I do have a workaround, because i gave up on an actual fix, for now. When I alt tab back and fourth between fullscreen stream on Twitch and my game, it's literally a sub 1% margin of error.
[[ Add 2 filters to your video source in OBS ]]:
|--- HDR Tonemapping Override -> Tone Transform: [SDR:Reinhard]; White Level: 480 nits
|--- Color Correction ->
|-------- Gamma: -0.09
|-------- Contrast: 1.50
|-------- Brightness: 0.00
|-------- Saturation 0.08
|-------- Opacity: 1.00
|-------- Color Multiply: #FFFFFF
|-------- Color Add: #000000
Twitch doesn't support HDR, according to documentation, so.. yeah, i guess we are playing the waiting game. If you try this, let me know if these settings were as good of a color match for you as they were for getting my stream output to be color-matched to my HDR input.
When editing OBS v28 HDR PQ video in DaVinci Resolve, it shows everything with this gray haze. Looks like others have had the same issue, but they only fix it by going to the color correction area, but that's wrong because input -> output is 1:1 for any given footage. Making color adjustments is upscaling SDR to HDR like the Windows Auto HDR feature. Not the same thing as HDR -> HDR.
In Premiere, I got HDR to show as HDR. If I take a screencap of Premiere, I measure peak-brightness in the HDR range. With Davinci, it never goes over 150nits which means it's clearly in SDR. Even when outputting HDR video, it is the same gray haze. How do you get around this with your videos?
did u ever figure this out, bc i have the same issue
@@guts1058 Nope
You re amazing!
You Are Amazing + Extream Level Techi Guy.. Watching You Since You Was New To UA-cam.. ❤️🇵🇰👍
That's highly unlikely, but I appreciate the comment regardless :)
THANK YOU
Does anyone have a free HDR workflow for editing and uploading HDR clips to UA-cam from PC???
SDR White Level should has its default by 100 Nit, not 300 Nit.
If you want it to be accurate but unwatchable, sure
@@EposVox its not unwatchable. 300 nit permanent is way to bright and banding says hello. as a compromise maybe 200 nit as max.
SDR content looks terrible when on HDR mode on my phone. Thanks
Every time I take a break from your channel some big step in HDR shiz goes down.
I try doing this and AMONG US was janky and jerky with Game Capture. I had to switch to Display Capture in order for it to work.
More AV1 Woohoo!
How about Twitch?
Nice
Ah now HDR is going to work there's going to be a big mess from all the bad HDR displays and re looking at cameras with HDR as output and not 709.
Keep the fun going, thx
If anyone realizing Twitch still doesn't support HDR, and dealing with DIM/DARK/WASHED OUIT stream output, this was the workaround I came to after hours of fucking around [made myself]:

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 22.8.1 Release Notes:
· HDR is no longer compatible with 10-Bit Pixel Format. For the best user experience with HDR displays, it is recommended to disable 10-Bit Pixel Format in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition Graphics Settings.
I don't know if it's relevant, just started watching the video, just felt like posting before watching :D
gooooood AMD's drivers are such trash what the hell
@@EposVox soooo what does that mean? that they do some kind of weird pseudo hdr in 8 bit? or some 12bit magic? (I don't have an hdr dispplay nor I use windows :P)
I wish you would show exactly how to download the obs beta cause im just too stupid to figure this out.
Idk why my UA-cam always default to 360p whenever there's HDR video 😂
Pretty crap that we can't just record and stream in HDR on the PC without additional software or hardware like a capture card, I mean the graphics card is playing the game in HDR so you would think it was as simple as clicking a switch or something and using something that supports it like UA-cam, I don't think twitch even allows HDR and discord is buggy when it comes to HDR content
You… CAN. I show you how to do that.
8:12 thanks
no AV1 encoding 😢
I don’t get the HDR praise HDR makes my colors look washed up and dual whenever I use it on my OLED TV vs the vibrant and bright colors of the original settings
Then you are doing something wrong. it looks amazing when applied correctly with a proper screen.
@@eirik1068 well OLED TVs are already made to have bright and vivid colors, HDR makes my tv look washed up and dual whenever it’s applied in gaming and watching TV so I turn it off.
@@TylerPKegger Be sure to check what standards of HDR your TV supports, as some HDR standards are pretty worthless for most TVs. Do look here on YT about TV and tech channels talking about HDR standards.
@@TylerPKegger Again. Then you are doing something wrong or there is something wrong with your TV. On my C8 OLED it looks amazing and the colours pop with higher brightness. Again, when applied correctly it looks amazing.
Seems like it's a little better but still not as bright as the game
I followed every step from this video & when I try to stream HDR, my GPU goes Extremely hot & The stream lags from viewer's perspective. game runs fine though.
Note: I have an RTX 4070ti (No capture cards)
My internet speed stays above 90 MBPS & I set my bitrate to 30k KbPS.
Here is a sample of my lagging stream. plz help me fix it .
