Fox MaxCLL Data

[Kris Deering]

Fox is one of the studios that in their HDR metadata simply shows the MaxDML as 1000 (or 1200 for The Martian) and 0 for MaxCLL. This makes it hard for tone mapping if you have a more advanced display or processor. Fox titles that are HDR in iTunes show MaxCLL levels though, along with the 1000 nit MaxDML. So I've compiled the MaxCLL values for the titles that I actually have HDR versions for in iTunes for those that may want them.

Alien Covenant - 4127
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes - 1031
Deadpool - 9931 (probably a stray pixel)
Independence Day - 2094
Kingsman The Secret Service - 1225
Life of Pi - 2195
Logan - 1443
The Martian Extended Cut - 3708
Peanuts Movie - 5448
Predator - 1819
Prometheus - 1984
Revenant - 885
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - 1618
War for the Planet of the Apes - 2780
Xmen Days of Future Past - 2542

Remember that MaxCLL is only the highest nit level of a single sub pixel in RGB (so it can be R, G OR B) and doesn't mean that the title has a lot of content at that level. It could literally be a single time in the entire film, but changing your tone mapping to take it into account may change/improve the image on a case by case basis. I find this to be the case more often with titles with a LOWER MaxCLL than MaxDML, which appears to be rare with Fox titles so far.
