Dolby Announces Audio, Imaging Products for the Cinema (MESA)
Story Highlights
Dolby today announced a full spectrum of integrated solutions that will save exhibitors of all sizes both time and money while delivering audiences an experience they can trust from Dolby. The new Dolby Integrated Media Server IMS3000 (IMS3000) combines Dolby audio and image processing in one unit. When coupled with the Dolby Multichannel Amplifier and SLS Express Series, they offer a complete, integrated solution from 5.1 to Dolby Atmos.
“The industry needs a way to deliver the ultimate entertainment experience for consumers on their own timeline, without breaking the bank,” said Jed Harmsen, senior director, Cinema Products, Dolby Laboratories. “We are debuting an innovative integrated audio and imaging solution that is both efficient and cost effective, to ensure we are providing flexibility for any theatre size, screen size, budget and business need.”
Dolby worked with exhibitors, dealers, and the industry to deliver this new integrated solution offering theatre operators and the industry more flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency than ever before.
Overall benefits include simplified and streamlined digital cinema operations from postproduction to playback with software solutions for content management.
The Dolby IMS3000 is an innovative imaging server and audio processor that allows for more flexibility as it decodes all Dolby audio formats. Exhibitors can start with Dolby Audio 5.1 or 7.1 and upgrade to Dolby Atmos on their own schedule. Installation of the SLS Express Series with the Dolby Multichannel Amplifier is a less expensive option for exhibitors and allows them to maintain the highest standards of sound for theatres of all sizes.
