And, talking of monitors, you can also pop to the Dolby stand and see the PRM-4200 42” colour critical monitor in action. Already a multiple award winner, the Dolby Professional Reference Monitor was created to display true blacks, superb dark detail, and extended dynamic range, and it is setting new standards for colour critical work. It supports all HD formats over HD-SDI, along with SD and 2K content, and this combination makes the Dolby PRM-4200 the first viable CRT replacement solution for vital colour-critical work. For the first time, users see exactly what was shot, while it’s emulation versatility and wide range of colour gamuts add to its value in improving the production process.

The company is offering for the first time a hosted, managed implementation with no minimums and no maximums, so you only pay for what you use — which it says is redefining the cost and simplicity of asset management.
