The Dolby Integrated Media Block (IMB) is now compliant with the
Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) Digital Cinema System
Specification, as conducted by Aegisolve, Inc.
The Dolby IMB is compatible with all Series 2 projectors and offers
built-in support for high-frame-rate 3D (48 and 60 frames per
second) as well as 2K and 4K playback, all at a single price.
New customers can purchase the DSS220 Screen Server with the Dolby
IMB. The DSS220 is a smaller and lighter server designed
specifically for use with the Dolby IMB. For customers who have
already purchased a Dolby DSS200 Screen Server and want to upgrade
to the benefits of an IMB solution, a simple software upgrade pairs
the server with a Dolby IMB.
“Last year, Dolby conducted the industry’s first demonstration of
high-frame-rate 3D with a single projector. Using Dolby’s IMB and
cinema server with Dolby 3D, we showed the audience the state of
the art for 3D movies in both 48 and 60 frames per second,” said
Doug Darrow, Dolby’s senior VP, cinema. “DCI compliance is another
milestone toward enabling our customers to offer their audiences
premium-quality 3D playback that filmmakers like James Cameron and
Peter Jackson are advocating.”
