Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
All Sony players convert everything to DV if you have the DV option activated. It sounds cool, but it isn't as it sends SDR content in DV container and messes up the colors and everything. At least that's how it works with discs and the reason I sold it, as I was tired of having to manually activate DV based on movie.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
It only appears to brighten the image because it is now properly tone mapping the output to the display’s reported capabilities such as peak luminance, instead of sending 1,000 nit content to a display with less than that luminance available while using a static PQ curve, making the luminance levels fall in the incorrect place, making the scene darker than it should be.RESET_9999 wrote:Fake DV vs Real HDR10: https://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/12710

As you can see, it just brightens the image. I wouldn't recommend using the x700 HDR10/SDR to DV on the fly conversion.
In other words, what’s supposed to be at say digital 10 bit code 150 is now at that proper level, whereas before it was artificially being crushed and lowered to all 1,000 nits into say a 200 nit static container.
This is incorrect if the display maps the colors and dynamic range as it should. If it doesn’t that’s on the display you’re using, not the player.azreil24 wrote:All Sony players convert everything to DV if you have the DV option activated.

Colors within any of the color gamuts will be completely identical whether they be Rec709, DCI-P3 or BT2020, up to each of their limits of course. So putting a Rec709 source into a wider P3 or BT2020 container should look and display identically when the gamuts are mapped properly since Rec709 is smaller than either of those wider gamuts. It’s not supposed to stretch the colors at all and if it does then your display is doing it wrong, not the source.
I have both an X700 and an X800M2 as well as an AppleTV 4K and they don’t have any of the issues reported with my displays because they map the signal correctly.

Instead of the oled peek 700nit display.
Will test that method now again.

If you send 1,000 nit peak, non-tone mapped source into a display that only has 700 nits total brightness/luminance available it will pretty much do one of three things, depending on the manufacturer and what they’ve decided to implement. It will either:
1. Display the source signal up to 700 nits and clip everything from 700-1,000 nits.
2. Display the source signal by compressing all of the 1,000 nit luminance into the 700 nits available. This is what makes the image darker because all the levels are lowered by ~30%, as RESET_9999 is seeing. This is how displays did it when HDR was first a thing and everyone complained that they hated HDR because it was “too dark”.
3. Display the source signal by tone mapping to the available peak luminance of the display, in this case 700 nits, but the key to this is maintaining the diffuse white level while tone mapping, which is basically leaving all the main picture information in essentially the “SDR” range (initially ~100 nits but now they’re mastering at 203 nits) and then only tone mapping everything above that level, known as the specular highlights (the sun, explosions, fire, lights or the sun glinting off of chrome, bright spotlights, etc.). This is what gives HDR video the more realistic look and feel compared to SDR, which can’t resolve specular highlights while maintaining detail in the low APL (dark) scenes.
So what I was trying to convey, probably confusingly in my prior post, was that what RESET_9999 was seeing wasn’t just “the image getting brighter” when tone mapping regular HDR10 to DV. He was seeing option 2 above (native HDR without tone mapping on a lower nit display) vs an image with its proper tone mapping and levels implemented with the amazing Dolby Vision processing which is option 3 above, so to him it just “looked brighter”, but in actually he was finally seeing it correctly displayed as it was mastered.
Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Thanks for chiming in, it's good to talk to people who know their stuff ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
But I think this case is different: if I'm not mistaken, reset9999 has an LG C8, I have a B8 (apart form the peak nit capability they behave the same), these sets also do type 3 (not 2).
This is how it responds to various HDR10 metadata, so let's assume 1000 nits maxCLL.
I'll post similar graphs about 4 DoVi presets tomorrow, but even the most accurate Cinema preset brightens the image between 30%-70%, and that is clearly visible with normal content as well.
I only used SDR to DoVi upconversion with the Oppo, I observed 2 drawbacks (compared to 3dlut profiled SDR preset), hence I stopped using it:
- "shadow detail" is sometimes way more elevated almost at disturbing level (maybe it is related to the aformentioned brightening of middle range)
- colors get desaturated sometimes
I'm not sure what exactly the reason behind these, because most of the sime there's no issue at all.

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
Just got a Chromecast, and I confirm that it's a FEL DV capable device. The ending credits of Power rangers is bright white... FEL noise visible on test file as confirmed before. great player for my bedroom TV
player-led and tv-led seem to be behaving strangely ... on my C8 OLED I'm only getting LLDV(player-led) but on my cheap Vizio TV which doesn't support LLDV I get TV-led DV. HDR10 and SDR are color accurate.
*tested iTunes, Movies Anywhere, and PLEX
also, no red push in the Dr. Sleep p7 rip. The Shield is really the only device that has color issues and yet, the nvidia staff still say that they don't see any difference

A question about the Shield, is it confirmed that its playing the FEL DV with noise and Power Range ending credit scene tests?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
The shield only supports MEL DV. it will play the FEL rip but will not decode the EL and will use only the dynamic metadata in RPU.
power rangers ending credits is dark grey and no FEL noise on the sample test file.
thank you

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
so since my TV use maxcll (or MDL when no maxcll) and because maxcll is not very reliable(often incorrect), is it better to use madvr ''output in hdr'' with peak set to 700nits? what do you use ?

Re: Dolby Vision now possible through MP4 Mux.
On the C8 we're using 870 nits with madvr tone mapping. QuietVoid has posted some curves that work very well on our C8 with that NIT level.RESET_9999 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 5:30 pmso since my TV use maxcll (or MDL when no maxcll) and because maxcll is not very reliable(often incorrect), is it better to use madvr ''output in hdr'' with peak set to 700nits? what do you use ?
