Mahesh Balakrishnan

Mahesh Balakrishnan appears in The latest TV innovations have their critics as VP of Consumer Technology at Dolby. He argues that motion systems can be made more intelligent, including by using metadata and automation to apply smoothing selectively.

His contribution to the wiki is the solution-side frame: instead of choosing between raw TV Motion Stutter and global Motion Smoothing, he describes Selective Motion Smoothing as a way to preserve creator intent while reducing motion problems in specific shots or scenes.
