“Something that looks great on a TV in a darkened room may not look good
at all on a mobile phone in a coffee shop,” said Colin Dixon, chief
analyst and founder, nScreenMedia. “The ability to adapt to a specific
viewing environment is critical for service and content providers for
every viewer to have a good experience. VisualOn’s solution is a great
example of the type of player feature that viewers need to effectively
compensate for mobile viewing conditions.”
Today’s cinematography trend is to shoot video with natural lighting,
which can translate to a lack of contrast or brightness with certain
scenes. When translating these scenes to mobile screens, especially in
environments with glare, these viewability issues become more
pronounced. VisualOn’s Adaptive NightVision is built on an advanced
algorithm that analyzes the video, in real time, for contrast,
brightness, color saturation and key metrics. Viewers can easily set
their preferred experience through a simple slider directly in the Media
Platform player.
“Our successful demonstration at NAB and the recent feedback from The
Long Night episode of Game of Thrones has prompted greater
urgency for Adaptive NightVision,” said Michael Jones, SVP and Head of
Business Development, VisualOn. “As streaming services mature, consumers
want to experience the same quality that is provided by their
traditional TV service on their mobile devices. We feel this is really a
democratization of content. Adaptive NightVision provides an optimal
viewing experience for mobile devices by giving control to consumers
while not limiting artists to create content for small screen viewing.”
