Native Tone Mapping Mode - maps the same as Apple H264/HEVC output tagged for 1000 Nits and targets editorial reviews.

Pure PQ mode does not tone map, but adjusts output depending on current screen brightness to always maintain correct values in nits. If current screen brightness is below content brightness then Pure PQ will clip to current screen brightness. Pure PQ mode targets Dolby Vision grading, where content is already mapped. Adjusting screen brightness helps with black levels.
