Synthesis also demos its real-time HDR video capabilities in this Youtube video:

  1. What about power consumption? That's the big problem here.

  2. This is a simple adaptive gamma correction, not really HDR. The computation power may not that high. Of course, if they use local tone mapping effectively it can be heavy in computation. Anyway the term HDR here is misleading!
