what is dolby cinema

Dolby Cinema is a premium cinema created by Dolby Laboratories that combines Dolby proprietary technologies such as Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, as well as other signature entrance and intrinsic design features. It is designed to elevate every type of movie, from big blockbusters to arthouse films, and everything in between. Dolby Cinema uses dual 4K laser projectors and produces 4x more resolution than the standard format, and laser projection means that anything on the screen that is black will be projected black. The sound system used in Dolby Cinema is referred to as Dolby Atmos and takes surround sound to a different level, with speakers on the ceiling and transducers producing bass effects below the viewers’ feet. Most Dolby Cinemas feature a curved video wall entrance displaying content related to the feature film playing in the auditorium, generated using multiple short throw high definition projectors in the entrance ceiling and proprietary software is used to pixel map the different images together along the wall. Dolby Cinema is available in partnership with various cinema chains, including Cinesa, Vue Cinemas, AMC Theatres, Cineplexx Cinemas, Wanda Cinemas, Jackie Chan Cinema, Reel Cinemas, and Odeon Cinemas.
