Definition of Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision is a set of technologies developed by Dolby Laboratories and Christie Digital Systems for high-dynamic-range (HDR) video. It covers content creation, distribution, and playback. It includes dynamic metadata that define the aspect ratio and adjust the picture based on a display's capabilities on a per-shot or even per-frame basis, optimizing the presentation.
