Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “What the heck is “Filmmaker Mode”??”.
Remember when Beats headphones came out and they were marketed as the way music was meant to be heard, despite their older models, having a reputation among audiophiles for just adding a ton of loose, muddy sounding bass. Well, now, there’s a movement afoot in TVs that seeks to bring a more realistic movie experience to your home, but that, thankfully, doesn’t involve just strapping subwoofers to the next display. You buy. It’S called filmmaker mode and it’s being endorsed by big-name directors like Christopher Nolan, Ryan, Johnson and M night, Shyamalan malama layin, for better or for worse – and this is a big deal, because perhaps counter-intuitively filmmaker mode isn’t about adding some feature like a more advanced panel type Or special high dynamic range backlight instead, the general idea here is to prevent certain TV features from affecting the final image that you end up, seeing kind of like addition by subtraction. But how exactly does that work? Okay, so if you go by just about any new TV these days, you will see a plethora of features that ostensibly make the image look better, like motion, smoothing, usually with some fancy, sounding name: noise reduction and sharpening now with AI.
However, there’s a general consensus in the a/v community that these image processing features actually make things, look over-processed, artificial and overall, worse than the original in most cases, and even if you’re, not an a/v expert, you can sometimes see this for yourself think about how overly smooth An actor’s skin might look sometimes or how interpolated video often looks like the motion is unnaturally smooth, like what you’d see if you watch a soap opera, so the idea behind filmmaker mode is to disable all these built-in post-processing features and force the TV to show the Original signal, as it was intended to look by the filmmaker and I’m not talking just at the native framerate and aspect ratio, this setting is also meant to combat the unrealistic vivid and exaggerated color settings that TV manufacturers have resort to make their set look. You know brighter and more colorful than the one next to it in the display kiosk at a big-box store. So it sets the white point at d65, which is a specific color temperature. That’S around 6500 Kelvin, similar to natural daylight, and doing this helps colors.
Look more uniform across different TVs, whether the content is SDR or HDR, and because most people don’t bother changing the default picture settings on their TV after they take it out of the box and hook it up. There’S also a push to make this FileMaker mode as easy as possible to enable specifically with a single button on the remote control, currently vizio, LG and panasonic. Good job guys are all on board with getting filemaker mode into their upcoming tvs, which should be hitting the market in 20/20 at the latest, but hold on. A second is this kind of a tacit admission from the TV manufacturers that their own features that they’ve been pushing on us for years kind of suck well, not necessarily because some forms of post-processing can still be good for content other than cinematic films, motions moving.
For example, can help you more easily track the trajectory of a ball during a sporting event? It’S just that. It’S not the right horse for every course and there’s another problem here, because FileMaker mode is going to be a single preset across many different models of TVs. From many different manufacturers, it actually may not yield the best results subjectively to the viewers eye on every display, while big-budget films are edited on professional, mastering displays and while higher-end TVs can approximate the same quality and would thus benefit the most from FileMaker mode content on Lower end TVs might still look a bit better with some of the post-processing features that FileMaker Mode cuts out. We encountered this recently in a review of a low-end monitor that we found that we kind of had to crank the vibrancy up in order to get it to look good.
Just don’t tell James Cameron, speaking of things that are poorly kept secrets, the math drop and Sennheiser collaboration on the HD 6x axe headphones.
