Enhancing Home Entertainment

The Home Entertainment space is ever evolving. The audience of today is seeking memorable and spectacular experiences wherever they go. Consumers are now willing to invest in premium quality content and in devices for enhanced audio and visual experience in their living rooms. Right from the evolution of televisions to sound systems, the home entertainment space has moved forward leaps and bounds to reach this stage today.

To continue building on this momentum and to ensure utmost consumer delight, it is essential for the confluence of content + service + device to evolve together. Global and local services are amping the quality of content that is being released. Simultaneously, OEMs are continuously providing upgrades to Televisions and Set-top-boxes, with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision support to enhance the consumer experience.

Dolby has introduced their latest offering, Video Soundbox – the new multi-user multi-usage hub. This Video Soundbox comes with an integrated soundbar designed to immerse the audiences with the most incredible cinema-like TV experience and music experience delivered in Dolby Atmos, which produces sound with incredible clarity, and Dolby Vision, which delivers a more vivid, lifelike image thus, bringing entertainment to life.

To bring these immersive experiences to their customers, Dolby has collaborated with StarHub, which becomes one of the first regional operators to adopt this new box. StarHub’s TV+ Pro is the latest Android TV set-top box with an integrated soundbar designed to captivate audiences with the most immersive TV experience delivered in Dolby Atmos® and Dolby Vision®.
