Dolby Vision is Dolby’s plan to take picture quality to the next level, but the company will face competition from open standards. The industry is planning to offer movies in HDR and wider color gamut without the Dolby Vision stamp. The coming Ultra HD Blu-ray players will support one mandatory HDR standard, whereas Dolby Vision is optional.
VUDU has confirmed that it will offer movies in Dolby Vision from Warner. Netflix has said that it will start offering HDR content later this year. It expects to support two formats, one of them being Dolby Vision. A few days ago, Amazon announced its intention to stream HDR content, but made no mention of Dolby Vision.
