About Dolby AtmosDolby Laboratories is equipping the cinema world with its new Dolby Atmos technology, the
only object-based cinema sound platform available today. Dolby Atmos unleashes the potential
of sound in storytelling by providing sound experts the creative freedom to easily place or move
specific sounds anywhere in the movie theatre, not just where there happen to be speakers. The result is what moviegoers have described as the most engaging and lifelike cinema sound
experience ever. Introduced in April 2012, Dolby Atmos has been embraced by all the major Hollywood studios,
six Academy Award® winning directors, and 11 Academy Award winning sound mixers,
among others. More than 400 Dolby Atmos screens have been installed or committed to in 33
countries with more than 100 exhibitor partners. More than eighty-five films from nine different
countries—representing a broad range of genres, from action thrillers and animated features, to
comedy and horror—have been or are scheduled to be released with Dolby Atmos sound since the
first film debuted in June 2012.
Dolby Atmos has received technical achievement awards from both the Hollywood Post Alliance
and the Cinema Audio Society. As the inventors of the only object-based audio format used in
the cinema today, Dolby is working closely with the Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers in driving adoption of standards for object-based audio.
