	Dolby Laboratories - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dolby Labs was founded by Ray Dolby in England in 1965.
		Dolby E is a professional coding system optimized for the distribution of surround and multichannel audio through two-channel postproduction and broadcasting infrastructures, or for recording surround audio on two audio tracks of conventional digital video tapes, video servers, communication links, switchers, and routers.
		Dolby Stereo or simply Dolby Analog is the original analog optical technology developed for 35 mm prints and is encoded with four sound channels: Left/Center/Right (which are located behind the screen) and Surround (which is heard over speakers on the sides and rear of the theatre) for ambient sound and special effects.

	"In 70mm and 6-track Dolby Stereo"
		Dolby´s noise reduction system, known as Type A, was applied to studio recordings of film sound in the early 70s, and subsequently also applied for stereo presentation in cinemas a few years later.
		Dolby Digital also is bringing excitement to home listeners via the audio tracks on DVD, and would be the standard audio on the new high definition television (HDTV) system proposed for implementation in the United States if it ever catches on with the public.
		Dolby Laboratories' corporate headquarters, housing research and development, marketing, licensing and administrative staff, is located in San Francisco's historic Potrero Hill district, in a renovated brick warehouse dating from the early 1900s.

	HeadWize - Technical Paper: Dolby Digital - The Sound of the Future Here Today by Dolby Labs
		Dolby Digital audio technology has been providing multi-channel digital sound in cinemas since 1992, was launched in two-channel DBS applications in 1994, and first reached consumers via multichannel laser discs in early 1995.
		Indeed, Dolby Laboratories' unique experience with audio noise reduction is essential to Dolby Digital's data rate reduction, as the fewer the bits used to describe an audio signal, the greater the quantizing noise that can exist.
		Dolby noise reduction works by lowering the noise when no audio signal is present, while allowing strong audio signals to cover or mask the noise at other times.

	Dolby Laboratories at 40
		Dolby then spent two years working for UNESCO in India, during which time he considered ways of applying his thesis findings (on means of improving X-rays for clearer images) to noise-reduction methods for audio.
		Dolby SR also ushered in a new state-of-the-art analog optical film soundtrack, which is used on the vast majority of releases — including those that also have digital soundtracks — for backup and compatibility.
		Dolby began getting involved with digital bit-rate reduction in 1984 with the debut of its first digital coding system, Dolby AC-1, which was adopted by a number of direct satellite broadcast and cable distribution systems.
