Dolby updates your PrM-4220 reference professional monitor

With a more ergonomic design and a thinner profile, the PRM-4200 update facilitates its installation in small spaces and improves connectivity.

With the same precision and degree performance of the already popular PM-4200 reference monitor, Dolby now launches an update by introducing new hardware features that include HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.1 interfaces.

Bill Admins, director of Production and Post Production Solutions at Dolby, has assured that “Dolby's professional reference monitor is constantly updated to maintain the rhythm of evolution in workflows. These new hardware features prepare the Dolby monitor with the latest work flow tools, which guarantees our customers the total return of their investment”.

With a more ergonomic design and a thinner profile, the PRM-4200 update facilitates its installation in small spaces. Other improvement to highlight is the reduction in almost a third of the weight with respect to the previous design.

In IBC 2013 we can see the new reference monitor in other stands of the fair, in addition to the Dolby space, such as the Arri stand where it is shown with images collected by the Alexa in reproduction from a codex recording/reproducer Codex Codex Review connected to the monitor via 12bit HDMI.

The industry dismisses Ray Dolby

Coinciding with IBC 2013, the entire film industry and Broadcast has fired the founder of Dolby, Ray Dolby, who failed at age 80 at his home in San Francisco after a long illness. The engineer was the creator of the famous sound and cinema sound system that reduced noise in audio recordings.

Dolby ganó un Oscar, un Grammy y dos premios Emmy por su trabajo. Nacido en Portland (Oregón), creció en el área de San Francisco y comenzó su carrera en el campo de grabación de vídeos, ayudando a desarrollar un sistema de grabación de cintas para el Ampex Corporation en la década de 1950.A continuación, completó su doctorado en la Universidad de Cambridge de Gran Bretaña y en 1965 fundó Dolby Laboratories, en Londres. Allí se convirtió en uno de los ingenieros más conocidos por su trabajo en la reducción de ruido de grabaciones de audio y sonido envolvente.
