For added ease of use, Dolby partnered with Harris to build the PRM‑AUDIOSYNC AES Audio Synchronizer, which automatically matches the audio delay to the monitor’s video delay, removing the need for manual changes to audio delay when switching modes or formats.
Dolby: Innovation at Its Best
A trusted partner to content creators for decades, Dolby worked closely with colorists and cinematographers to perfect the Dolby Professional Reference Monitor.
You can count on exceptional reliability, thanks to the lengthy life span of LCDs and the more than 50,000-hour life span typical of LEDs. In addition, the monitor ensures color stability for color grading and color correction because the 1,500 RGB LEDs are burned and tested prior to assembly. R, G, and B gain controls allow manual fine-tuning of the color balance to fit your viewing conditions.
