Dolby 3D preserves about 90 percent of the light reaching the viewer from the 6-Primary laser projector to deliver a vivid, sharp image.

Dolby Laboratories returns to CinemaCon 2014, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, to show its latest technology in film sound and image. When it comes to sound, the company will highlight Dolby Atmos, which will soon be available on more than 600 screens around the world, thanks in part to new installations planned with Indonesia's Lippo Group (Cinemaxx). Regarding the image, Barco and Christie Digital Systems will show their latest laser projection techniques with Dolby 3D that allow them to offer sharper and brighter 3D images.

Because it uses advanced color separation technology, Dolby 3D is perfect for next-generation laser projectors, which can produce images with more brightness and contrast than traditional ones. Dolby 3D preserves about 90 percent of the light reaching the viewer from the 6-Primary laser projector (6) to deliver a vivid, sharp image. Both Barco and Christie will show their laser projection at CinemaCon using Dolby 3D technology.
