For today’s savvy entertainment consumers, audio quality is crucial. Great audio makes the experience come to life, and with Dolby® technologies found on every entertainment platform — from cinemas, TVs, and DVDs, to PCs and mobile media — you can enjoy your favourite music with the magic of surround sound, wherever you happen to be.
Dolby Digital Plus, for example, brings enveloping surround sound to Blu-ray Disc™, high-definition (HD) broadcast, streamed and downloaded media and mobiles. With up to 7.1 channels of premium-quality surround sound, you’ll actually feel like you’re at the concert, not just listening to a recording.
And thanks to the enhancements of Dolby Mobile, you don’t have to suffer poor audio quality on handheld devices when you watch or listen to music on the go. Dolby Mobile delivers clear, rich, full-range audio — even surround sound — to mobile phones and personal media players, so wherever you take your entertainment, you can be assured that you’re hearing it closer to the way it was meant to be heard.
Audio is a big part of the experience, but picture is also important and in the cinema, Dolby 3D delivers an entertainment experience that’s nothing short of incredible. Colours are more natural and the picture is so clearly defined, you’ll want to reach out and touch it.
