UHD Alliance is working on filmmaker mode for Dolby Vision images

The UHD Alliance is working on a filmmaker mode for Dolby Vision images on televisions. This mode already exists on many modern televisions from major, well-known brands, but until now it was limited to SDR images and HDR images in combination with the HDR10 standard.

TechRadar writes that Mike Zink, the chairman of the UHD Alliance, recently spoke during an LG session about the arrival of a pipeline for television makers to implement the filmmaker mode for Dolby Vision. It is unknown when that will be the case. LG TVs and certainly those from other manufacturers will probably not support the filmmaker mode for Dolby Vision content until 2024.

The filmmaker mode was created in 2019 after a lobby from Hollywood. Quite a few well-known directors want their films to be viewed the way they intended. The filmmaker mode responds to this by disabling adjusted colors, extra frames due to image interpolation, different aspect ratios, sharpening and other image improvement techniques.
