# containsHDRVideo

A media characteristic that indicates that a track contains HDR video.

```
static let containsHDRVideo: AVMediaCharacteristic
```

## Discussion

HDR video contains extended dynamic range that requires explicit support when compositing. The system infers this characteristic from the format description of the associated track.

The value of this characteristic is `public.contains-hdr-video`.
