Dolby introduces HD 3D format

Dolby Laboratories and Royal Philips Electronics have teamed up to introduce Dolby 3D, a set of technologies and an HD 3D format.

Utilizing Philips’ expertise in 3D technology and Dolby’s experience in recording methods, the two companies have worked together to enhance the 3D viewing experience on any size screen, including glasses-free viewing.

Dolby 3D is a format that allows to reproduce 3D in HD on televisions, computers, smartphones and tablets (as long as their screens are ready for it); in a much more comfortable way, by not having to use glasses, and therefore opening new possibilities to the market.

It is a system designed to work throughout the entire process, with the addition of tools for 3D content creation, real-time conversion and title insertion.

The project will focus on continuing to collaborate with display and entertainment device manufacturers to make 3D viewing a regular experience in our lives, just as 2D is now.

In addition to Dolby 3D, Dolby also recently added the PRM-4200 professional monitor to its product line.

It is a reference monitor intended for colorists and cinematographers to see the final result of their image with great precision and fidelity. These are some of its features:

– High precision in contrast, black detail and throughout the grayscale.

– Displays all high definition formats and 2K content.

– Capable of emulating different color spaces, including DCI P3.

– It has all the dynamic range that the latest digital cameras can capture.

– Accepts 10-bit or 12-bit formats.

– Support and preview of LUTs.

In addition, it also includes an external remote control through which all its functions can be operated.

The price for this 42-inch (diagonal), LCD flat panel (1920×1080), 120 Hz refresh rate monitor is $39,995.
