Dolby Vision is content mastering and delivery format similar to HDR10. It supports both high dynamic range (HDR) and wide color gamut (ITU-R Rec. 2020 and 2100) at all stages from content creation and production to transmission and playback. Dolby Vision includes the Perceptual Quantizer (SMPTE ST-2084) electro-optical transfer function and supports displays with up to 10,000 cd/m2 maximum brightness. It also provides up to 4K resolution and color depth of up to 12-bits
It uses dynamic metadata which can change between scenes. It is display referenced which means that each value in the signal maps to a set display brightness. Pictures are balanced on a standard reference monitor. Dynamic metadata is created which will allow the final display to correctly display the image even if it has different maximum brightness to the reference monitor.
Dolby Vision content can be delivered on Ultra HD Blu-ray discs, OTT, and online streaming media services.
Dolby Vision metadata can be carried via HDMI interface versions 1.4b and above.
