How NUT Handles HDR Data

For image-to-video conversions, Xonvert applies format-aware algorithms that respect the unique characteristics of both HDR Image and NUT Container. Cross-category conversions require additional adaptation, which Xonvert handles automatically. Pixel dimensions, aspect ratio, and DPI information transfer directly between formats. When converting from HDR Image to NUT Container, the conversion is lossless, meaning every bit of data is preserved exactly as in the original.

Converting a static HDR Image image to NUT Container video format creates a single-frame video file. This is useful for creating video slideshows, adding images to video editing timelines, or preparing content for platforms that only accept video formats. The output will contain your image as a still frame with the duration and framerate you specify.

The HDR to NUT conversion applies format-appropriate algorithms to ensure maximum data fidelity. Used for environment maps and Image-Based Lighting (IBL)
