At IFA 2026, Philips introduced a new motion processing technology called AI Adaptive Motion, designed to reduce the stutter often seen in 24 frames per second films without creating the "soap opera" effect — a smooth, overly realistic look that some viewers find distracting. This function shares a similar goal with Dolby Authentic Motion, another motion processing technology, but differs in that it works with existing content rather than requiring special preparation of the material. During the demonstration, Philips showed a clip from Pulp Fiction with three different motion rendering styles: the original 24 frames per second footage, a traditional pushed motion compensation technique, and its new AI Adaptive Motion solution. AI Adaptive Motion uses interpolation — a process that adds extra frames between existing ones — but only when needed. Unlike fixed motion processing methods, it features a dynamic scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means no interpolation and 10 means maximum. The TV analyzes the scene in real time and adjusts the compensation level based on the movement detected. For example, during a calm shot in Pulp Fiction, the compensation could remain at zero, but as the camera movement became more complex, the level would increase gradually. Once the scene stabilized, the compensation would decrease back to zero, preserving the original image quality where possible. Philips has set the default maximum compensation level around 5, aiming to smooth only what is necessary. This approach contrasts with Dolby Authentic Motion, which relies on metadata embedded in the content to guide the TV on how to handle motion. In contrast, Philips' system uses the P5 AI Dual Engine in its OLED+951 model to directly analyze the image and determine the required compensation level in real time. This means AI Adaptive Motion can enhance existing content without requiring special encoding or new versions of films, offering immediate benefits to users without waiting for updated media. Currently, AI Adaptive Motion is exclusive to the OLED+951 and its P5 AI Dual Engine due to the high computational power required. Philips noted that while Dolby Vision 2 content with Authentic Motion will take priority when detected, users can manually switch to the Philips solution. The two technologies do not operate simultaneously, and Philips does not enforce its processing by default, giving users control over their viewing experience.
