Dolby unveiled Dolby Vision 2, the successor to Dolby Vision HDR that debuted a little more than a decade ago, the company said Tuesday. Calling it a “groundbreaking evolution of its industry-leading picture quality innovation”, Dolby explained that its latest technology would bring several upgrades over the current Dolby Vision and fix one of the most common complaints.What’s new with Dolby Vision 2?
Dolby said that it has a “robust” content pipeline that includes movies and TV shows, weekly live sports broadcasts, and games that would take advantage of Dolby Vision 2.
At the core of the new tech is something the company is calling “content intelligence.” This introduces new tools, Dolby said, that optimize your viewing (using AI, of course) based on what and where you’re watching.
The company acknowledged that one of the most common complaints about Dolby Vision is that images can often be too dark, making it hard to see details.
