Dolby Acquires Brightside

You’ve Heard the Dolby Difference. Now See It!

With a vision to improve the full spectrum of entertainment, Dolby Laboratories purchased BrightSide Technologies Inc., a company that specializes in high-dynamic-range (HDR) image technology. The company’s development-stage technology enables the capture, distribution, and display of more vibrant video on LCD television sets, as well as front-projection and rear-projection TVs. The result: images that reflect true black; pure, bright white; and all the shades in between. This provides a viewing experience considerably closer to what the eye perceives in reality as opposed to the limitations in contrast that today’s broadcast images and photography project.

With the acquisition of BrightSide, Dolby continues its long-term focus on delivering innovative technology solutions that enhance entertainment by making the experience so real, viewers feel as if they are there.
