Dolby and Philips Announce Dolby 3D Format Specification for Delivering High-Quality, Glasses-Free 3D Video Content to Broad Range of Devices


Dolby demonstrates how creative professionals can use industry-leading tools like The Foundry’s NUKE and OCULA to create Dolby 3D content

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYS: DLB) and Royal Philips Electronics (NYSE:PHG; AEX:PHI) today announced the Dolby® 3D format, a new content delivery specification for Dolby 3D. The Dolby 3D format ensures that 3D content delivered to TVs, smartphones, PCs, and tablets enabled with Dolby 3D looks its very best, and accurately reflects what the content creator originally intended.

The Dolby 3D format, which attaches essential playback information to content, will be available through a licensing program. Leading postproduction tool provider The Foundry will be demonstrating the future integration of the Dolby 3D format into its popular NUKE and OCULA postproduction products.

Dolby 3D is a comprehensive suite of technologies for the creation, delivery, and playback of glasses-free 3D content, producing auto-stereoscopic images with lifelike realism. In addition to eliminating the need for glasses, Dolby 3D has no narrow “sweet spot,” so viewers can enjoy the sharpest images regardless of where they sit.

Roland Vlaicu, Senior Director, Broadcast Imaging, Dolby Laboratories explained, “The Foundry’s award-winning products and tools are behind the groundbreaking 3D visual effects in such films as Avatar, Tron: Legacy, and Hugo. By providing powerful tools to create Dolby 3D content, Dolby and Philips will make it easier than ever for Hollywood to create content for glasses-free 3D TVs and other devices.”

“The professionals using our postproduction tools want to know that whatever they create is going to look great, no matter where or how viewers choose to watch,” said Simon Robinson, Chief Scientist and Co-Founder of The Foundry. “The Dolby 3D format will ensure that creative professionals’ artistic vision is recreated intact in the home.”

According to Guido Voltolina, manager of the joint project between Dolby and Philips, the Dolby 3D format specification is a crucial milestone in clearing the hurdles to easy and customizable 3D viewing on TVs, tablets, smartphones, and laptops. “By demonstrating a brilliant 3D experience that doesn’t require glasses using The …read more

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool’s free investing community, 3-D movie technologist RealD has received the dreaded one-star ranking.

On CAPS, 31% of the 85 members who have rated RealD believe the stock will underperform the S&P 500 going forward.

Just yesterday, one of those Fools, KarmaInvestor, succinctly summed up the RealD bear case for our community:

[RealD] is a fad with a very finite shelf life. They have no new innovation. About 70 % of their gross comes from overseas and that will fade as well once [C]hina and [R]ussia move onto the next new thing. The company’s own buy back is manipulating the stock price higher — nothing justifies the high P/E. [W]ith this, losses, over priced officers and no dividends why would this company ever increase substantially. [IMAX] much better value.

If you want market-topping returns, you need to protect your portfolio from any undue risk. Luckily, we’ve found another growth play we are incredibly excited about — excited enough to dub it “The Only Stock You Need to Profit from the NEW Technology Revolution.” We have compiled a special free report for investors to uncover this stock today. The report is 100% free, but it won’t be here forever, so click here to access it now.
