NAB 2012 Wrap-up

Whew! What a whirlwind of a week!  NAB2012 is officially over and boy did we have a blast!  The booth was packed all week, with attendees, customers and media who came to see our big news.

At the end of last week just in time for the show we announced technology for glasses-free…strike that..the BEST glasses free 3D for any device - TVs, cell phones, tablets…you name it! 

Don’t take our word for it, clink the champagne glasses…Dolby received not one, but two awards for this amazing technology.  We were honored with the Game-Changers award from IABM (the International Association of Broadcast & Media technology) and the Mario Award from TV Technology.  Here are Roland Vlaicu and Guido Voltolina receive the TV Technology award…they look happy, and we are too!

In fact TV Technology also had this to say:

Dolby has a glasses-free 3D display in its booth, and it is drawing big crowds. The display was co-developed by Dolby and Philips, and Dolby is showing some gorgeous 3D content to demonstrate the technology…

…It goes without saying that the audio for this Dolby demonstration was superb, which reinforces something that’s occasionally forgotten in the rush to new television paradigms: Good audio is just as important as good video.  - Bob Kovacs, TV TECHNOLOGY

Amen to that!

We’ve had tons of coverage on all our products that we showcased this year including the Professional Reference Monitor as well as Dolby Digital Plus, which points to more surround sound on more of your entertainment with less bandwidth needed to deliver it.

Congrats to the NAB organization, our customers who came out to visit, and our partners who exhibited with us for making it a very successful show.  It was exciting to see new technology and devices that will be making it into my home and your home soon!
