Dolby has announced the characteristics of Dolby Vision 2, the successor of the popular Dolby Vision HDR format.
While the original Dolby vision was intended to give makers the opportunity to closely align how TV's content in HDR present, Dolby Vision 2 seems to be considerably broadened to take on movement treatment-and it also tries to bridge the gap between the intention of the filmmaker and the terrain of the individual viewing converts.
What exactly does that mean? Well, Dolby says that one of the pillars of Dolby Vision 2 “Content Intelligence” will be, which introduces new “AI options” in the Dolby Vision Spec. That means, among other things, the use of sensors in the TV to try to solve the often combined problem of shows that are too dark.
Many editors and filmmakers adjust their video content to watch the best in a dark room on a high-end TV with strong peak clearance, contrast, color accuracy, and so on. Unfortunately, that sometimes means that some shows are laughable dark on anything but the most optimal target setup – think of Apple TV +'s Siloor the notorious battle for Winterfell in the last season of Game of ThronesBoth that many people complained were too dark for clear view.
With content intelligence, Dolby Vision 2 will make the image “crystal clear” by “improving clarity in every viewing environment without endangering intention.” Furthermore, the use of sensors for detecting ambient light in supporting TVs will adjust the presentation of the content based on how clear the viewer is.
Prepare movement taste – or make it worse?
There will be enough controversial in content intelligence with some purists, but it is a different function called authentic movement that will probably cause the biggest stir for Dolby Vision 2.
