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.

If it works as well as the demonstration, I'd be excited if Zoom adopted it. If Teams adopted it first, I'd lobby for my peer-group to switch to them.

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

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?

Yes they provided 2 encouraging items for DC in Asia/China.

12 new DC screens including first 1 in Taiwan. As IMAX also reported, DC is gaining market share in China vs vanilla tickets.

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.

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.
