Dolby introduced an improved tone mapping analysis algorithm that first appeared in DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.6. If you’d like to compare the Dolby Vision derived SDR version to the HDR10 video above, click here. As far as we can tell, it only appears to be playable on Dolby Vision enabled devices, because when uploaded to YouTube, which doesn’t support Dolby Vision, it looked washed out. Only Dolby Vision devices are able to process the L1 metadata. Dolby Vision metadata travels with the associated content and instructs Dolby Vision playback devices how a piece of content must be played back. If you dislike YouTube compression as much as we do, you can download the original HDR10 video here.
