HDR TOOLKIT – HDfury Vertex glossary
Vertex includes tools intended for HDR signal workflows, including HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision and LLDV use cases, plus access to HDR metadata and InfoFrame-related controls.
HDR (high dynamic range) pictures come with extra information that tells the screen how bright and colourful they should be.
The HDR toolkit is the group of Vertex settings that let you see, add, change or block that information.
It helps when a TV or projector does not switch into HDR, or switches the wrong way.
What HDR tools does the HDfury Vertex have?
YESIt shows incoming HDR metadata, can send custom HDR metadata that switches an HDR display into HDR mode, can remove HDR metadata (JVC mode), and Automix can force HDR10+, HLG and Dolby Vision in the EDID (p.28, p.32–33).
How to use it with the Vertex:
- See HDR data on OLED pages 3 and 4 (HDR 1 / HDR 2) and in the HDR INFOFRAME tab (p.32, p.42).
- Force HDR: set values in the custom generator, Create IF, Send HDR (p.33).
- Custom HDR stays on after power cycles: switch it off for SDR with #set hdrcustom off or IR vertex_hdrcustomoff (p.32, p.51, p.77).
- Remove HDR: tick Disable HDR or use #set hdrdisable on (p.32, p.51).
- In Automix tick [HDR 10+], [HLG] or [DV Force Metadata] (p.28).
What does this mean in a real AV system?
HDR is more than resolution: the source, display and intermediate devices also exchange signalling and metadata. Vertex gives advanced users tools to inspect and manage those workflows.
This page is part of the Vertex Glossary: a practical explanation of the technologies and controls used around the Vertex HDMI signal chain.
← ALL GLOSSARY TOPICSCommon questions
Does the Vertex support HDR10+ and HLG?
The Automix EDID can be forced to advertise HDR10+ and HLG with the [HDR 10+] and [HLG] flags (p.28), and HDfury lists HDR10+ support (p.110). Your display still needs to support the format itself.
Can the Vertex force my display into HDR mode?
Yes. 'Enable Custom HDR' sends your own HDR metadata, which turns on the HDR mode of an HDR display. It stays on after hotplugs and power cycles, so switch it off for normal SDR viewing (p.32).
Can the Vertex do low-latency Dolby Vision (LLDV)?
Not with a built-in setting. You upload an LLDV EDID into a CUSTOM slot, and HDfury says it works with a JVC projector using a custom gamma curve or a display you can force into HDR, for example with 'Enable Custom HDR'.
