1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,400
remember when beats headphones came out and they were marketed as the way music

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:10,800
was meant to be heard despite their older models having a reputation among

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:16,240
audiophiles for just adding a ton of loose muddy sounding bass well

4
00:00:13,679 --> 00:00:20,480
now there's a movement of foot in tvs that seeks to bring a more realistic

5
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,199
movie experience to your home but that thankfully doesn't involve just

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:30,000
strapping subwoofers to the next display you buy it's called filmmaker mode and

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:35,440
it's being endorsed by big name directors like christopher nolan ryan

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:37,280
johnson and m night shyamalamalamalayan

9
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:41,760
for better or for worse and this is a big deal because perhaps

10
00:00:38,879 --> 00:00:48,000
counter-intuitively filmmaker mode isn't about adding some feature like a more

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:52,559
advanced panel type or special high dynamic range backlight

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:57,120
instead the general idea here is to prevent certain tv features from

13
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:01,440
affecting the final image that you end up seeing kind of like addition by

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,000
subtraction but how exactly does that work okay so if you go by just about any

15
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,600
new tv these days you will see a plethora of features that ostensibly

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,520
make the image look better like motion

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:19,040
smoothing usually with some fancy sounding name noise reduction and

18
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,119
sharpening now with ai however there's a

19
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:26,560
general consensus in the av community that these image processing features

20
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:31,200
actually make things look over processed artificial and overall worse than the

21
00:01:29,119 --> 00:01:35,280
original in most cases and even if you're not an av expert you

22
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:40,640
can sometimes see this for yourself think about how overly smoothed an

23
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:45,520
actor's skin might look sometimes or how interplated video often looks like the

24
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:50,240
motion is unnaturally smooth like what you'd see if you watch a soap opera so

25
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:55,040
the idea behind filmmaker mode is to disable all these built-in

26
00:01:52,399 --> 00:02:00,560
post-processing features and forced the tv to show the original signal as it was

27
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:05,520
intended to look by the filmmaker and i'm not talking just at the native frame

28
00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:08,399
rate and aspect ratio this setting is

29
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:13,760
also meant to combat the unrealistic vivid and exaggerated color settings

30
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:18,239
that tv manufacturers have resorted to to make their set look you know

31
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,640
brighter and more colorful than the one next to it in the display kiosk at a big

32
00:02:20,239 --> 00:02:27,680
box store so it sets the white point at d65 which is a specific color

33
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:32,319
temperature that's around 6500 kelvin similar to natural daylight and doing

34
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:38,879
this helps colors look more uniform across different tvs whether the content

35
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:40,560
is sdr or HDR and because most people

36
00:02:38,879 --> 00:02:44,080
don't bother changing the default picture settings on their tv after they

37
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:48,879
take it out of the box and hook it up there's also a push to make this

38
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:55,280
filmmaker mode as easy as possible to enable specifically with a single button

39
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,800
on the remote control currently vizio lg

40
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:00,080
and panasonic good job guys

41
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:04,400
are all on board with getting filmmaker mode into their upcoming tvs which

42
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:09,120
should be hitting the market in 2020 at the latest but hold on a second is this

43
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,239
kind of a tacit admission from the tv manufacturers that their own features

44
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,480
that they've been pushing on us for years kind of suck

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:21,200
well not necessarily

46
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:26,480
because some forms of post-processing can still be good for content other than

47
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,879
cinematic films motion smoothing for example can help you more easily track

48
00:03:28,959 --> 00:03:35,760
the trajectory of a ball during a sporting event it's just that it's not

49
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:40,080
the right horse for every course and there's another problem here because

50
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:45,519
filmmaker mode is going to be a single preset across many different models of

51
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:51,440
tvs from many different manufacturers it actually may not yield the best results

52
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:54,720
subjectively to the viewer's eye on every display

53
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:59,680
while big budget films are edited on professional mastering displays and

54
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:04,080
while higher end tvs can approximate the same quality and would thus benefit the

55
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:09,439
most from filmmaker mode content on lower end tvs might still look a bit

56
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:14,400
better with some of the post-processing features that filmmaker mode cuts out

57
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,359
we encountered this recently in a review of a low-end monitor that we found that

58
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,199
we kind of had to crank the vibrancy up

59
00:04:19,359 --> 00:04:26,560
in order to get it to look good just don't tell james cameron speaking

60
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,479
of things that are poorly kept secrets the mass drop and sennheiser

61
