Technical Theatre Alignment Service
To further ensure that audiences experience the best possible presentation, Dolby application engineers are normally on-site at high-profile screenings, such as premieres and press events. We verify and optimize playback of both film and digital systems, assist with the rehearsal, and provide backup support during the screening itself. Dolby brings equipment as needed, and we check onscreen light levels, align the image correctly, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a quality presentation every time.
Theatre Presentation Inspection Service
Dolby performs theatre presentation inspections for major studio releases at any theatre in the United States or Canada. Our highly trained personnel assess projection, sound, print quality, and theatre operations, and resolve any issues encountered. This helps assure that the audience experiences the film exactly as the director intended.
A detailed report is sent to the studio, grading each theatre on its presentation of the film, and listing any actions taken by Dolby in the process. On the average project, Dolby visits 20 to 30 theatre locations chosen by the studio. We attend the first screening of the opening day of release and often resolve any problems (such as speakers being out, a poor splice between reels, or a scratched reel that needs to be replaced) prior to that same evening’s shows.
Special Projects: Premieres and Festivals Service
In addition to major premieres, our Technical Theatre Alignment Service supports many film festivals all over the world with equipment and engineering. For special venues or outdoor premieres, Dolby can assist with site surveys and preproduction planning all the way to the equipment install, technical run-through, and technical support for the show itself. We are also behind the scenes at principal cinema industry tradeshows for a majority of the special screenings and events.
