Dolby Vision 2 Unveiled With AI-Powered HDR, Creator-Controlled Motion and Two-Tier TVs

AI-driven processing aims to fix “too dark” HDR in real living rooms.

Overview

  • Dolby introduced a redesigned image engine with “Content Intelligence,” featuring Precision Black to clarify dark scenes and Light Sense to adjust for ambient room light.
  • Authentic Motion gives filmmakers shot-by-shot control over de‑judder to maintain a cinematic look without blanket motion smoothing.
  • Bi-directional tone mapping is designed to leverage modern TVs’ brightness and color for higher peak highlights, sharper contrast and richer saturation while preserving intent.
  • The format now has two tiers, with Dolby Vision 2 for mainstream sets and Dolby Vision 2 Max adding premium capabilities for high‑performing TVs.
  • Hisense will release the first compatible TVs using MediaTek’s Pentonic 800, CANAL+ pledged content support, and Dolby has not provided consumer availability timing.
