From: Carkey | 1/30/2021 8:35:31 PM | | | | Here is video which demonstrates what Dolby IO's spatial audio can do for a online conference.
Dolby.io Interactivity APIs Demo | Featuring Spatial Audio & Noise Suppression - Bing video
I have to attend 3 - 4 video calls a day and this would be significantly different than what I experience using the current tool my company provides.
This demonstration showed how you would hear different voices as if they were coming from different parts of a conference room while both were talking. AND multiple voices did not keep you from hearing the person you wanted to listen to.
IMHO - Spatial audio would make my calls more life like which would likely make the calls more productive. |

From: Cooters | 2/1/2021 12:56:59 PM | | | | CFRA MAINTAINS HOLD OPINION ON SHARES OF DOLBY LABORATORIES, INC.
6:06 pm ET January 29, 2021
We keep our 12-month price target of $84, 25x our FY 21 (Sep.) EPS estimate, and squarely in line with the DLB's five-year historical trading band. We keep our FY 21 EPS estimate of $3.36 and lift FY 22's EPS by $0.15 to $3.73. DLB prints Dec-Q adj-EPS of $1.48 vs. $0.64, easily surpassing consensus by $0.44 on upside in sales and cost controls. Quarterly revenues rose 33.6% to $390M, beating consensus by $44.5M. Primary drivers to the top-line beat were a $20M true-up and a $15M-$20M pull-forward in licensing recoveries from mobile customers. DLB also revised its Jan-Q sequential outlook above consensus expectations for revenues ($280M to $310M vs. $290M) and adj-EPS ($0.57 to $0.72 vs. $0.62), aided by higher shipment volumes for select devices (TVs and PCs). For the stock to move materially higher from here, we think an expedited timeline around a recovery in Dolby Cinemas and higher adoption of other technologies (Atmos and Vision) would need to emerge in the second half of FY 2021. |

Couldn't agree more, and since I expect those things to happen, I expect it to go materially higher when they do. Coot |

To: Cooters who wrote (254) | 2/1/2021 2:33:52 PM | From: A.J. Mullen | | | Cinemas are mostly closed. A fear is that when they reopen, people's habits will have adjusted, they might feel content to watch at home. A hope is that Cinemas would entice them back with a better experience.
I imagine installation takes a theater out of commission and is time-consuming. Now would be a good time to do it if the money is available, a big if. Was there any mention in the conference call of chains investing at this time? |

To: Cooters who wrote (256) | 2/1/2021 3:47:15 PM | From: A.J. Mullen | | | Thanks. I believe theaters in Taiwan and China are open for the most part. It would be good to hear of new installations in Europe and the US. I couldn't find a breakdown of earnings by region.

From: Cooters | 3/4/2021 5:33:00 PM | | | | Really good Q&A format presentation at MS this afternoon. Lewis did a great job explaining some of the new products, particularly dolby.io. Only 30 minutes, highly suggest listening. Notes up tomorrow, time for a drink. Cooters |
