Upgrade in television viewing experience anticipated with the arrival of Dolby Vision 2, alleged to be a significant leap forward in a generation.
Dolby, the renowned name in audio and visual technology, has announced the next generation of its HDR picture technology: Dolby Vision 2. This new technology promises to revolutionise TV and movie content, live sports, and gaming experiences.
Hisense, a global leader in television manufacturing, has taken the lead in embracing this innovative technology. The company's general manager of TV product marketing, Sonny Ming, stated that this collaboration represents the kind of innovation Hisense customers expect from premium television experiences.
Dolby Vision 2 will utilize a redesigned, more powerful image engine to enhance visuals. Key features include Precision Black, which makes dark areas of the screen clearer and more detailed without compromising black levels or artistic intent. Additionally, there are new sports and gaming optimisation technologies, such as white point adjustments and motion control, specifically designed to enhance dedicated content.
One of the standout aspects of Dolby Vision 2 is its ability to adapt to ambient conditions, thanks to its new Light Sense technology. This feature optimises images based on room lighting conditions, enhancing the viewing experience in various lighting scenarios.
Hisense will be the first TV manufacturer to announce compatibility with Dolby Vision 2, with new models set to be announced during IFA 2025 in Berlin. These new Hisense TVs are expected to offer dramatically astonishing pictures, thanks in part to their integration with Dolby Vision 2 and Hisense's RGB-MiniLED Technology. This combination is capable of delivering ultra-wide color and ultra-high brightness, previously not possible.
The new Hisense TV models will be powered by the MediaTek Pentonic 800 processor running the "Miravision" Pro PQ Engine, the first chip to support Dolby Vision 2. However, it's important to note that Dolby Vision 2 will not be an upgrade for existing TVs or projectors. Studios will need to encode their movies and shows with Dolby Vision 2 for compatibility.
New Hisense TV models equipped with Dolby Vision 2 are expected within the next one to two years. This timeline reflects the deep integration required in hardware and software, with Hisense currently being the only manufacturer with the necessary MediaTek processor to support this technology.
CANAL+ is the first studio to announce its support for Dolby Vision 2, demonstrating a commitment to delivering superior viewing experiences to its audience. As more studios and manufacturers adopt this technology, viewers can look forward to a future of enhanced visuals that adapt to their content and environment.
