We can't improve the physical DR with software, it's a hardware limitation. What could be improved, however, is the way the footage is recorded to allow...

You'll need to do so in post, starting from a lower-quality footage and raise the shadows which will bring noise, or drop the highlights that...

Locked auto-exposure still allows that balancing to happen. There is an immediate change in the scene's DR when this is...
