Motion goes up to 120fps. - Browse your shared folders Connect over SMB to Mac File Sharing or a NAS (Synology, QNAP and more) and play straight from the folder. You can also open videos from the Files app, your photo library, or a direct video link (.mp4 / .mov / .m3u8). WebDAV, Jellyfin and DLNA/UPnP servers are supported too. - SDR to HDR brightness Uses the extra brightness of your HDR display to make SDR video brighter and more vivid. Presets: Natural, Vivid, "Brighter, as is" and No conversion. A/B compare shows the original side by side. - Sharper and smoother Videos smaller than your screen are upscaled to its native resolution. Videos at 30 fps or lower can be smoothed with frame interpolation. Both pause automatically when the device is hot or in Low Power Mode. Up to 120fps on ProMotion displays. - Anime upscaling (only when you choose it) Choose Anime Super Resolution to sharpen anime such as DVD-quality episodes 2x or 4x with trained models on your device, or Anime (Light) for a lighter pass that cleans up line art.
