(NASDAQ:AMZN)—Amazon today announced that Prime members in the
US can instantly watch the debut season of the Amazon Original
Series, Mozart in the Jungle in high dynamic range (HDR) at no
additional cost to their membership, marking the first video
service to offer HDR. The complete first season of the popular
comedy from Jason Schwartzman, Roman Coppola and Paul Weitz is the
first series available in the superior picture quality, with more
coming to Prime soon.
HDR brings greater contrast to the screen with brighter colors,
enhanced shadow details and distinct highlights to make images
appear vivid, rich and lifelike, more so than ever before. Prime
members can start watching Mozart in the Jungle in HDR through the
Amazon Video app on Samsung SUHD TVs.
“HDR is a technical innovation that provides a truly stunning
viewing experience and we’re thrilled to be the first to offer this
unmatched picture quality,” said Michael Paull, Vice President of
Digital Video at Amazon. “We can’t wait for our Prime members to
watch and re-watch Mozart in the Jungle in HDR at no additional
cost to their membership, and we look forward to adding more titles
and devices that support HDR this year.”
“It’s been a great year for Mozart in the Jungle,” said Roman
Coppola. “Now, having the first season available for fans in an
upgraded visual experience is exciting—the enhanced quality makes
every scene look even better and we hope it’s something that our
viewers really enjoy.”
