"Previous technologies required modifying content before video transmission and playback, but Altera FPGAs provide the processing and compression capabilities that enable Dolby Vision to overcome these technological limitations. By adopting Dolby Vision, creators and development teams can freely utilize a much wider full color gamut and expanded brightness and contrast to deliver a richer and more vivid viewing experience," said Roland Vlaicu, Vice President of Broadcast Imaging at Dolby Laboratories.

David Gamba, General Manager of Altera's Consumer Business Unit, stated, "Equipment manufacturers must support new and complex 4K, 8K, H.265/HEVC, and connectivity standards. The programmable nature of FPGAs enables faster design cycle completion and accelerated product launches." “The collaboration with Dolby, a leader in innovative technology, demonstrates the value of rapid algorithm processing enabled by Altera FPGAs and SoCs, which launch groundbreaking and innovative designs,” he said.

Several TV manufacturers are already developing products that incorporate Dolby and Altera solutions.
