The perceptual quantizer (PQ), published by SMPTE as SMPTE ST 2084,cite-ref-smpte2084hdr2014-1-0[1] is a transfer function that allows for HDR display by replacing the gamma curve used in SDR.cite-ref-dolbyvisionwhitepaper-2-0[2]cite-ref-eilertsen-3-0[3]cite-ref-hdrreportsmpte2015mesa-4-0[4]cite-ref-gradinghdr2015studiodaily-5-0[5] Its 0–1value range represents luminance levels from 0 to 10,000 cd/m2 (nits).cite-ref-dolbyvisionwhitepaper-2-1[2] It was developed by Dolbycite-ref-52-6-0[6] and standardized in 2014 by SMPTEcite-ref-smpte2084hdr2014-1-1[1] and also in 2016 by ITU in Rec. 2100.cite-ref-recommendation2100-7-0[7]cite-ref-ituannounceshdrjuly2016-8-0[8] ITU specifies the use of PQ or HLG as transfer functions for HDR-TV.cite-ref-recommendation2100-7-1[7] PQ is the basis of HDR video formats (such as Dolby Vision,cite-ref-dolbyvisionwhitepaper-2-2[2]cite-ref-332-9-0[9] HDR10cite-ref-02-10-0[10] and HDR10+cite-ref-22-11-0[11]) and is also used for HDR still picture formats.cite-ref-15-12-0[12]cite-ref-16-13-0[13] PQ is not backward compatible with the BT.1886 EOTF (i.e. the gamma curve of SDR), while HLG is compatible.
PQ is a non-linear transfer function based on the human visual perception of banding and is able to produce no visible banding in 12 bits.cite-ref-hpatechfebruary2014-14-0[14] A power function (used as EOTFs in standard dynamic range applications) extended to 10000 cd/m2 would have required 15 bits.cite-ref-hpatechfebruary2014-14-1[14]

Technical details
The PQ EOTF (electro-optical transfer function) is as follows:cite-ref-recommendation2100-7-2[7]cite-ref-15[15]
F D = E O T F [ E ′ ] = 10000 ( max [ ( E ′ 1 / m 2 − − c 1 ) , 0 ] c 2 − − c 3 ⋅ ⋅ E ′ 1 / m 2 ) 1 / m 1 {\displaystyle F_{D}=EOTF[E']=10000\left({\frac {\max[(E'^{1/m_{2}}-c_{1}),0]}{c_{2}-c_{3}\cdot E'^{1/m_{2}}}}\right)^{1/m_{1}}}
The PQ inverse EOTF is as follows:
E ′ = E O T F − − 1 [ F D ] = ( c 1 + c 2 ⋅ ⋅ Y m 1 1 + c 3 ⋅ ⋅ Y m 1 ) m 2 {\displaystyle E'=EOTF^{-1}[F_{D}]=\left({\frac {c_{1}+c_{2}\cdot Y^{m_{1}}}{1+c_{3}\cdot Y^{m_{1}}}}\right)^{m_{2}}}
where
• E ′ {\displaystyle E'} is the non-linear signal value, in the range [ 0 , 1 ] {\displaystyle \left[0,1\right]} .
• F D {\displaystyle F_{D}} is the displayed luminance in cd/m2
• Y = F D / 10000 {\displaystyle Y=F_{D}/10000} is the normalized linear displayed value, in the range [0:1] (with Y = 1 {\displaystyle Y=1} representing the peak luminance of 10000 cd/m2)
• m 1 = 2610 16384 = 1305 8192 = 0.1593017578125 {\displaystyle m_{1}={\frac {2610}{16384}}={\frac {1305}{8192}}=0.1593017578125}
• m 2 = 128 2523 4096 = 2523 32 = 78.84375 {\displaystyle m_{2}=128{\frac {2523}{4096}}={\frac {2523}{32}}=78.84375}
• c 1 = 3424 4096 = 107 128 = 0.8359375 = c 3 − − c 2 + 1 {\displaystyle c_{1}={\frac {3424}{4096}}={\frac {107}{128}}=0.8359375=c_{3}-c_{2}+1}
• c 2 = 32 2413 4096 = 2413 128 = 18.8515625 {\displaystyle c_{2}=32{\frac {2413}{4096}}={\frac {2413}{128}}=18.8515625}
• c 3 = 32 2392 4096 = 2392 128 = 18.6875 {\displaystyle c_{3}=32{\frac {2392}{4096}}={\frac {2392}{128}}=18.6875}
