Various aspects of methods and apparatuses are described herein. Some methods may include receiving video content, receiving metadata including a hierarchical order of metadata fields, and performing an enhancement operation on at least a portion of the video content according to settings associated with at least one of the metadata fields. The enhancement operation may include a video processing operation configured to modify one or more visual characteristics of the video content. The settings associated with the metadata field(s) may be predefined in a device that receives the video content and the metadata. The enhancement operation may be performed at a time based on a time code in the video content. The enhancement operation may be performed on a bounded area of an object. The hierarchical order may correspond to a type of display technology. The hierarchical order may correspond to information associated with a manufacturer of a display.
