Question about new 4K Export Profile setting? High10 vs High

I noticed the Profile dropdown menu for 4K Export includes Baseline, Main, High, and High10.

I was surprised I couldn't find a single website or video explaining High10. I'm assuming this is a new setting, so nobody knows anything about it.

All the 4K Export tutorials on YouTube are from early 2017, and none of them have "High10" so they don't go into it. And considering I've had so much difficulty finding info on it, I'm assuming nobody even knows High10 exists. I'm sure everyone who's been exporting 4K is just defaulting to their presets that they saved prior to the introduction of High10.

PS: I found one website that did not explain High10, but it just recommended selecting High10, and then selecting Rec 2020 Color Primaries and High Dynamic Range (which both appear only if you select High10). If you just select "High," they don't appear.

    I don't think it has any connection to HDR, 10-bit and HDR being unrelated technical aspects.  From Wikipedia:

    High 10 Profile (Hi10P, 110)

    Going beyond typical mainstream consumer product capabilities, this profile builds on top of the High Profile, adding support for up to 10 bits per sample of decoded picture precision.

      That would apparently be an HDR setting, not something used unless you are actually doing an HDR project to export. Not many of that done yet, hence not a lot of comments.
