  • Why Dolby Atmos" Whitepaper
    Why Dolby Atmos Why Dolby Atmos 08—2020 Your story made better in Dolby Atmos Dolby Atmos has become the immersive audio standard for film and television content creation. Introduced first in the cinema, Dolby Atmos has been adopted by the most popular streaming services such as Apple TV+, Disney+, and Netflix, and is also being made widely available to mainstream audiences on millions of consumer playback devices. Once used primarily on big-budget Hollywood films, Dolby Atmos is being leveraged by content creators on a wider variety of content genres and types than ever before. This is your opportunity to hear first-hand from some of those content creators on how Dolby Atmos has enabled them to enhance their stories. This paper will demystify what Dolby Atmos is and why content creators should be creating all of their content in Dolby Atmos. “Dolby Atmos is a format and not a particular sound. At Netflix, we feel the best mixes come when mixers have excellent technology and the freedom to use it in a way that best tells the story.” — Scott Kramer | Netflix Dolby Atmos: From cinema to home First utilized on Pixar’s 2012 film, Brave, Dolby Atmos introduced a new paradigm of audio creation and delivery in cinema, enabling filmmakers to fully immerse moviegoers in their story’s soundscape. Today, that paradigm has also revolutionized the home entertainment experience, bringing Dolby Atmos technology to the living room and enabling content creators to immerse viewers more deeply into their stories. Many of today’s leading content services and their studio partners have adopted Dolby Atmos on feature films and episodic titles.

  • Past, Present and Future Harman International 2004 Annual Report
    Harman International 2004 Annual Report Past, Present and Future Our cover is a rendering of the new Shanghai, China Oriental Arts Center. Now under construction for the 2008 Olympics, it will incorporate two concert halls, an opera house and an eleven hundred seat theater. The Oriental Arts Center is one of many totally new theatres, athletic stadia and performing art centers being built to serve the most expansive Olympics in history. Harman International has received a number of significant awards and we expect to be very well represented. China is a compelling and sometimes tantalizing story for everyone. Our past, our present and our future are writ large there. Ten years ago Harman found a voracious market for our quality home audio equipment. That was the past. Numbers of very competent Chinese manufactures have developed in the years since, and have produced excellent products with increasingly recognized Chinese brand names. That is not a promising busi- ness situation for us, although our upcoming new media centers may generate revived interest—at least for a time. Our present is represented on the cover of this report. As China surges economically, its need for supportive infrastructure grows exponentially. Our professional systems are without peer, and we expect that part of our business to grow and flourish everywhere, but especially in China. It is clearly our present. The great opportunity before us, not surprisingly, is in automotive. Predictably, China is developing as a major market for automobiles and, consequently, for our Infotainment systems. We are the leader in Europe today and we are confident that we will be the leader in North America.

  • Dolby Atmos for the Home Theater
    Dolby Atmos® for the Home Theater October 2014 Dolby Atmos®, the revolutionary cinema sound technology, has come to home theaters. With Dolby Atmos, content creators can precisely place and move sounds anywhere in your living room, including overhead, to make entertainment incredibly immersive and lifelike. This white paper is designed to explain how Dolby Atmos will work in home theaters and how you can build a Dolby Atmos enabled system or upgrade your existing system to support Dolby Atmos. This paper also explains the technological components of Dolby Atmos in home theater and the tools that content creators and broadcasters will use to create and deliver Dolby Atmos content to homes. Why replace channel-based surround sound? Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary technology that moves beyond the paradigm of channel- based audio, which has gone as far as it can in the home. Dolby has led home theater technology since the late 1980s, when we introduced four- channel Dolby® Pro Logic®. We led the development of 5.1 and then introduced 7.1 surround sound in the home and the cinema. But as home theater expanded to 9.1 and even 11.1 systems, the problems of pursuing more and more channels became clear. Home theater content often originates from theatrical content that is mixed, at best, in 7.1 sound and many times in 5.1. That meant that 9.1 or 11.1 systems reached a point of diminishing returns in parsing and upmixing that limited signal to serve more and more channels. In addition, the ability to recreate reality using channel-based audio is inherently limited.
