I am far from an expert, but basically HD10 is a base layer, it ecodes and thus sends HDR data “once” per whole video.
Formats like HD10+ and DV are dynamic, they send HDR (brightness) information per scene/frame over an extra transport layer.
And those layers can be sent at the same time for the tv to use which one it prioritizes.
From the info above it seems the patent is about the way both “streams” of the HDR formatted metadata are combined and transferred over the internet to the display device.
If this is the case, Disney might do some brainstorming on what is cheaper in the long run:
Offer both HD10+ and Dolby Vision which is not a cheap license in itself, on top of which comes the license fee from the patent they infringe on … if they can’t find a workaround.
Or, go with a single HDR standard, in which case I can see them drop DV support altogether to save on (expensive DV) license fees.
Regardless of this, I do not think the case is a positive development.
