TELECOMWORLDWIRE-23 June 2008-Dolby to license cinema 3D playback support(C)1994-2008 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD http://www.m2.com

Dolby Laboratories Inc (NYSE: DLB), a supplier of audio and video enhancement applications, announced on 23 June that it will launch a programme to allow manufacturers of digital cinema servers to license their servers to support Dolby 3D Cinema playback.

Digital cinema servers provide content to cinema operators to exhibit via compatible projectors. The Dolby 3D system does not require installation of special silver screens in cinemas. Most digital cinema projectors can be supplied or retrofitted to support Dolby 3D playback.

By licensing its digital 3D cinema playback to the digital server manufacturers, Dolby will be making it easier for server manufacturers to build in interoperability, removing the need for studios supplying 3D content to perform specific preprocessing to allow their content to be displayed using Dolby 3D Cinema.
