UHD Alliance is working on movie maker mode for Dolby Vision images

The UHD Alliance is working on a movie maker mode for Dolby Vision images on televisions. This mode already exists on many modern televisions from large, 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 president of the UHD Alliance, recently spoke at an LG session about the arrival of a pipeline for television makers to implement the movie maker mode for Dolby Vision. It is unknown when that will be the case. Presumably LG TVs and certainly those from other manufacturers will not support movie maker 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 movie maker mode responds to this by switching off adjusted colors, extra frames through image interpolation, different aspect ratios, sharpening and other image enhancement techniques.
