Dolby Vision 2 Debuts at IFA With AI Engine, Two Tiers and Early Partners

An AI 'Content Intelligence' system promises creator-guided tuning across HDR, motion, ambient light.

Overview

  • Dolby introduced Content Intelligence with Precision Black and Light Sense to address dark-scene visibility and adapt images to room lighting.
  • New Authentic Motion gives creators shot‑by‑shot control to reduce judder while preserving a cinematic look.
  • A redesigned image engine with bi‑directional tone mapping targets higher brightness, sharper contrast, and richer color on capable TVs.
  • The standard is split into Dolby Vision 2 for mainstream sets and Dolby Vision 2 Max for top-end models, with some Max details to be disclosed later.
  • Only forthcoming TVs with built‑in Dolby Vision 2 hardware will use the added metadata; Hisense plans the first compatible models on MediaTek’s Pentonic 800, CANAL+ pledged early content support, and wider availability and timing have not been announced.
