Dolby has announced Dolby Vision 2, an upgrade to its proprietary HDR standard that is going beyond just HDR. The new standard implements AI tech, which Dolby says will intelligently adapt to the content you’re watching to provide the best viewing experience.
Dolby Vision 2 boasts a more powerful image engine, which Dolby says will improve your viewing experience even for the existing library of Dolby Vision-supported content. The major difference for the new version of Dolby Vision is Content Intelligence, an AI-powered technology that claims to intelligently adapt your display based on “what you’re watching and where you are watching.”
These features include ambient-light detection and specific adjustments targeting the “unique needs” of live sports and gaming. The intelligent features also include a “Precision Black” feature that appears to be targeting viewer complaints that a lot of premium TV is too dark–saying Dolby Vision 2 can improve clarity of dark scenes “in any viewing environment without compromising artistic intent.”
