In 4K/60 with Dolby Vision enabled, Smart HDR is completely disabled, making scenes overexposed. Test at 4K/30 or less with Dolby Vision and you'll see that saturation and overexposed will improve!
It looks like you have some knowledge about this.
Let‘s say I have a 10-year old Toshiba TV, an iPad 8 (the budget model) and an iPhone 12. If I shoot video in HDR on my phone (I guess 30 or 24fps), will I only be able to appreciate it on my iPhone?
Furthermore, if I view HDR video taken with my 12 on my other devices, will the quality be all wonky? I think I read that somewhere.
Thanks.
It all depends on the method used to watch this video recorded in HDR and whether the device you are going to watch supports HDR. I can't tell you about AirPlay that even though I have it on my Sony TV, I've never used it. But I believe that if you record this video in HDR via the iPhone and pass this file via AirDrop to another Apple device that supports HDR (I don't know if your iPad 8 has this support), the file will go in both SDR and HDR format. . If the device does not support HDR, the file will work in SDR. If it supports HDR, it will work in HDR. Apple has worked very well on this. The same file recorded in HDR carries the SDR format in the same file. If your Toshiba TV, I believe, does not support HDR, then the file will run in SDR.
It's worth mentioning that depending on the way you transfer this file, it will lose the HDR format on conversion. An example of this would be sending it via WhatsApp. The recipient will not receive this file in HDR, only in SDR, due to the conversion made by the WhatsApp app.
I have it on 4k 60fps DV and i find the video’s to be very dark.
when i go to the gallery they look brights when you look ar it as a tile, but once you open the video it darkens.
