iPhone 12 Pro HDR video on iPhone 12 Pro

From the photos app I select the video, then scroll down and select airplay and send it to my ATV4K.
It doesn’t work via AirPlay, at all. You don’t get DV (the previous poster was wrong I believe...)
I have not been able to get it to work any way other than exporting the viddo from photos app, to files. Then copy it to my NAS and play on an Nvidia Shield. Crazy huh!
I would expect it to fully work with Apple tv. Maybe they will update it to support playback from iPhone?

Not sure what you mean by this? Of course DV won’t play if the TV doesn’t support it.
But this does NOT send and play the DV file. Just to be clear to others...
DV does not trigger using this method.
Didn’t someone say a new ATV must be coming? All I’m saying is that won’t make a difference
Ok but it can work via airplay though. Go to the Dolby website and play any of the demo videos via airplay , works just fine in DV and I get the DV flag on my C9
Yep, but whatever Apple have done so far just doesn’t work. Hopefully just a software fix, but just another miss - here’s a new feature...wow....you can’t really use it yet though!
Yep, I'll wait for a more official review of what is going on under the covers with people swinging opinions back and forth, left, right and center.
That's why is better to buy after a few weeks. I will buy the Promax probably in December, if I don't like it, I'll return it.
Not sure what problem is. For years people took 4k recordings and have never seen them in 4k on Apple TV. Did you expect different? Why? Based on what?
Maybe Apple will get to it in a few years.
For those trying to play it on LG TVs, go in the TV settings and look for extra settings regarding HDR. Maybe something is there...
How could he? LG is doing 8 bit 4:2:0 log video, which is then encoded to a 10 bit file.
He also thinks DV profile 8.4 is DV Lite, which shows again, he doesn't understand a thing. Profile 8.4 is 10 bit HLG with DV metadata encoded on top. This ensures full backward compatibility to SDR, HLG and of course Dolby Vision.
How do you get the HDR video off the phone and maintain all the DV/HDR info so you can edit it or whatever?
With respect, you keep mentioning the TV’s and settings, it is nothing to do with the TV. The TV plays DV fine, it’s the way Apple have (or haven’t) implemented it.
You could always view your 4K recordings on an ATV4K. You can’t view your DV recordings, thats the problem.
Not sure if it’s already been mentioned but The Verge was saying it will work on Apple 4K ATV but you need to tweak the Dolby Vision settings on the box first.
What do they mean tweak it? If it’s what I think they mean, they mean setting DV to basically always on before you airplay? I’ll have a look and see what they are saying.
