A new era of cinematic creativity has begun
with the opening of the first Dolby Vision HDR grading and
projection room for cinema in France
PARIS, Oct. 12,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dolby, a leader in immersive
entertainment experiences, today announced its innovative
collaboration with Hiventy, part of TransPerfect Media, a leading
provider of localization, content, restoration and post-production
services for the film, audiovisual, and multimedia industries.
This agreement marks an important moment in the French film and
audiovisual industry, with the inauguration of the very first Dolby
Vision® HDR grading and projection room for cinema in
the country, and the only commercial one in continental
Europe.
Since the integration of Hiventy in October 2022, TransPerfect Media has established
itself as a leading player in the film and audiovisual industry in
Europe, particularly in
France, with 8 sites in
Île-de-France and 3 in the
regions. This merger is the catalyst for a bold and innovative
transformation of the European film industry.
True to its commitment to innovation and quality, TransPerfect
Media has decided to usher in a new creative era in collaboration
with Dolby. One of the most exciting aspects of this collaboration
is the opening of a Dolby Vision HDR grading room and Dolby Vision
HDR and Dolby Atmos® screening room for cinema, in
September in Boulogne Billancourt, near Paris.
This bold initiative reflects TransPerfect Media's commitment to
providing creative professionals with the most advanced and
sophisticated tools available, while remaining true to their
artistic vision. Thanks to this cutting-edge facility,
professionals in the film industry will benefit from an exceptional
creative environment in which to sublimate their works and release
them in premium Dolby Cinemas. There are 11 Dolby Cinemas in
France and around thirty in
Europe.
Why Dolby Vision?
Dolby Vision brings characters to life with darker darks,
brighter brights, and a remarkable color range you can't get
anywhere else. This technology allows directors and colorists to
express their artistic vision with unrivalled precision and depth.
As a result, viewers are immersed in the heart of the story,
captivated by details and nuances you simply can't see with a
standard picture.
Anais Libolt, Director of
Audiovisual Services and Content at Dolby, explains: "We are
delighted to see TransPerfect open this first Dolby Vision HDR
cinema color-grading room. We hope that many French and European
creators will take advantage of these tools to bring their images
to life according to their aesthetic aspirations, supported by
Hiventy's expertise. The venue will also enable professionals to
view their work in the best possible visual and sound
conditions."
TransPerfect Media's Hiventy: A Trusted Partner
With proven experience with Dolby technologies, Hiventy is
well-positioned for this innovative initiative. Their expertise
extends to the re-mastering in Dolby Vision HDR of iconic films for
home entertainment or cinema, such as 'Asterix and Obelix: Mission
Cleopatra' or 'Brotherhood of the Wolf,' as well as Dolby Atmos
immersive mixes for cinema productions.
Barnaby Wass, Senior Vice
President at TransPerfect says: "I am incredibly proud
and honored to share the opening of our Dolby Vision HDR
calibration and projection room (with Dolby Atmos sound), which is
the first in France and the only
one in Europe. I look forward to

clients and audiences across the globe. "
