Apple Launches tvOS 11.2 With The New Dynamic Range, HDR, And Frame Rate Options

Apple released tvOS 11.2 as a free software update for both Apple TV (fourth-gen) and Apple TV 4K. For the new Apple TV 4K, the update comes just over one month after the release of tvOS 11.1. You can download tvOS 11.2 over the air through the Settings app on the Apple TV by going to System - Software Update.


According to the release notes, tvOS 11.2 enables a new AVDisplayManager feature for developers, which is designed to allow the device to automatically switch video display modes to match the native frame rate and dynamic range of video content.

Like iOS 11.2, tvOS 11.2 also brings a new Sports section to the dedicated TV app, which offers up access to live sports games through integration with the ESPN app. The Sports app can be accessed through a new "Sports" tab at the bottom of the app, and it offers up custom content based on team preferences and current sports seasons.

In addition, the update as well includes support for switching the Apple TV 4K display output to SDR for apps that are GPU-bound when running in HDR and it re-introduces the Unwatched category in Home Sharing for Movies, TV Shows, and Home Videos.
