  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Dolby Theatre Guided Tour Review
    Dolby theatre guided tour review Continue The statement regarding COVID-19 (coronavirus) of 9.9.2020 Coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to be of extreme public concern. Based on the latest news and at the direction of the Governor, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our daily tours. Our Broadway Hollywood series has also been rescheduled for dates yet to be determined. For more information about these exhibitions, please call our box office at (323) 308-6389. Please note that Box Office is currently closed, but we will respond to all voicemails. Please leave a message with your name, phone number and the headline of the show. If you are a Pantages season subscriber, please contact their Box Office directly at (866) 755-2929. We appreciate your understanding at this difficult time and will let everyone know as more information becomes available. The Dolby Theatre, located in Hollywood, California, is the permanent home of the Oscars and various other events. Tours of the Dolby Theatre are held several times a day and last about 30 minutes each. In this post, we review our recent experience on Dolby Theatre excursions. Theoretically, a tour of the Dolby Theatre can be quite cool. While not having nearly as much history as other venues near it in Hollywood as Grauman's Chinese Theatre, El Capitan Theatre, and Cinerama dome, there is great potential interest here. First, there is his transition from the Kodak Theatre to the Dolby Theatre. There is architecture as well. The interior design of the Dolby Theatre is impressive; As it was designed to be the permanent home of the Oscars, it was generously designed, with inspiration from European opera houses.

  • History of the Early Days of Ampex Corporation
    PAPER History of The Early Days of Ampex Corporation As recalled by JOHN LESLIE and ROSS SNYDER Alexander M. Poniatoff founded Ampex in 1944, primarily to manufacture small motors and generators for military applications. When WWII ended, the military contracts dropped off, and Alex had to search for a new line of business to continue his company’s existence. He and his small group of engineers heard a demonstration of a Magnetophon, a German magnetic tape recorder used by Hitler during WWII. The demonstration quickly convinced Alex to redirect his company and soon it was designing and manufacturing professional-quality magnetic tape recorders. Bing Crosby was a great help in Ampex’s early years. The company grew quickly and, within a short time, dominated the magnetic tape recorder market in radio, television, the record industry, and industrial and military markets for instrumentation recorders . Alex was born in Russia in 1892. His father was well-to- 0 INTRODUCTION do, and sent Alex to Germany for an education in engineering. After college, he returned to Russia only to see his country It has been amazing how many people today are asking become engaged in a civil war. Alex escaped to China, where questions about Ampex and the Company’s contribution to the he went to work for the Shanghai Power Company. He music recording industry, the radio and television broadcast immigrated to the United States in 1927 where he worked for industry and the stereophonic home entertainment field. There General Electric, Pacific Gas & Electric, and the Dalmo Victor is no question that Ampex was a major factor in each of these Corporation in San Carlos, California.
