    Overview: Dolby Vision

    Dolby Vision combines defined signal arrangements with metadata and profile rules that shape compatible playback.

    A Dolby Vision label covers more than one stored arrangement. Metadata, base or enhancement-layer structure, and the selected profile determine what a playback path has to interpret. The fundamentals introduce that system, followed by focused branches for the carried information and the compatibility rules.

    • How Dolby Vision works
      Dolby Vision combines a prepared video signal with metadata that helps adapt the image to a playback display.

    • Metadata and layers
      Dolby Vision metadata and layer structures describe the information available to reconstruct and adapt the intended picture.

    • Profiles and compatibility
      Dolby Vision profiles constrain signal arrangements and decoding requirements, including the relationships relevant to fallback playback.
