iPhone 12 Pro Dolby vision?

[eclipse01]

So how do you record videos in Dolby Vision?

I tried doing a 4K video and airplayed it to my Apple TV 4K and it did not come up with dolby vision.

Have you looked in camera settings to see if there’s an option to turn it on?

I was wondering the same thing... thought it might be something that would be added at the same time as ProRaw later in the year. Not sure if that is the case though.

yes

Many are having this problem. I also am unable to send DV through to my tv via the ATV4K. Apple probably needs to update the ATV.

under Settings > Camera > Formats, do you have High Efficiency turned on?

Apple will need to update the ATV in order to play it. The DolbyVision codec apple used is brand new and most devices aren’t updated with it yet.

yes

yes

Ok. Will try shooting a quick vid here and see if I get the same result via AirPlay to my ATV 4K > DV capable Sony X9005F TV.

Just tried - all works (although this only proves that my setup works). Playing back the video on the phone shows the HDR badge in the top left and when AirPlayed to ATV 4K, the Sony TV shows the incoming signal as Dolby Vision encoded.

You don't have the ATV set to 4K DV, do you? It should be set to 4K SDR with match range and match frame rate turned on. That way it will only trigger DV if a DV feed is sent. If you have the ATV set to 4K DV, is it will send everything as DV, no matter what.

According the Verge review video, the only way right now to get DV content recorded on these phones to playback on Apple TV is to run it in DV all the time.

No, it’s a new version of Dolby Vision.

Apple iPhone 12 Pro review: ahead of its time

The big thing about the Pro model this year is it’s shiny.

www.theverge.com

“But the iPhone 12 shoots video in a newer version of Dolby Vision called Profile 8.4 that’s built on a standard called HLG, or hybrid log-gamma. HLG works differently than PQ systems; it was developed by broadcasters like the BBC and NHK to be backwards compatible with SDR displays so they would only have to broadcast one video stream.”

“There’s a catch. (Of course.) Dolby Vision Profile 8.4 is a new version of Dolby Vision, and that means a bunch of older Dolby Vision gear out there needs to be updated to support it. So I can’t promise you any random Dolby Vision TV with AirPlay 2 will play back iPhone 12 Pro video in Dolby Vision. You’ll have to check to see if your TV supports Profile 8.4. Dieter’s older Vizio P65 has AirPlay 2 but played back iPhone 12 Dolby Vision video in SDR. My 2016 LG B6 OLED supports Dolby Vision but not profile 8.4, and it wouldn’t play an iPhone 12 video file from a USB stick at all. It’s also old enough now that it’ll probably never get another software update to do so. And so on.

That said, new TVs will naturally support the newest versions of Dolby Vision, and you can always just plug in an Apple TV 4K and AirPlay to that. (The way iPhone 12 Dolby Vision video works with an Apple TV is wonky, though: you have to run the Apple TV in Dolby Vision mode all the time to make it work. If you are a sane person and use your Apple TV in SDR with “match content” turned on, you will still always see SDR video from an iPhone 12. I hope Apple fixes this very quickly.)”

People have been working wiht HLG for years, so many tutorials on YouTube on how to convert it into rec.709 and SDR. Practically no one considers HLG to be an HDR format...try finding people online or on YouTube who do not grade HLG into SDR! I shoot HLG and convert to HDR10, the standard that all TV's and devices can play in HDR. This video shows how to convert the iPhone HLG files into standard HDR10, using the free version of Black Magic Resolve.

 

[iAdamator]

Thanks for the video but I saw that video a few weeks back when it was new. I even posted in the comments section and what he is doing actually requires the paid version of Resolve. You can’t do anything with the Dolby vision footage without it. (I don’t think you can do anything hdr related with the Free version.)

 

[Paul Anderegg]

Let me clarify...the FREE version of Resolve WILL handle HDR, HLG, or PQ. You can acccess the full color managed menu, change anything to anything else, and export/render out as any option shown, SDR, HDR, HLG, 709 etc. What I meant was the process of putting HLG (iPhone DV) into Resolve, and spitting out HDR10, as demonstratic as the bais of the video, is the best way to deal with these iPhone clips, if you wish them to be viewable as HDR by as many people as possible. There are some scopes limitations witn the free version, but the process of simply color space converting the iPhone files and exporing them as HDR10 is availabel in Freesolve.
