YouTuber Patrick-Pierre Garcia misleads the public, implying that Dolby Vision is streamed at 12 bits. Dolby Vision is streamed at 10 bits. Also, contrary to the illustration shared in the video, which to date has reached 36K viewers, virtually all commercial Dolby Vision content is mastered in P3-D65 – not Rec. 2020.
“What happened is that the first HDR, the one that was created at the beginning, is a so-called basic HDR [HDR10]. Basic HDR means that it works in 10 bits. This HDR works in 10 bits with what we call a static system.” – Patrick-Pierre Garcia
“Another HDR has been introduced on streaming platforms and Blu-ray discs. It’s called Dolby Vision, which is part of the HDR family. Dolby Vision is very different since it works in 12 bits.” – Patrick-Pierre Garcia
Garcia has been notified of these factual errors in both the video’s comment section and on LinkedIn. Yet the video remains online without correction.
