Dolby Announces Availability of Dolby Vision Digital TV SoCs From Realtek

Dolby Labs announced availability of Dolby Vision-enabled system-on-a-chip (SoC) technologies for digital TVs from Realtek Semiconductor. Realtek also committed to delivering Dolby Vision enabled SoCs for set-top boxes “in the near future,” said Dolby Thursday. The Dolby Vision VS10 universal high-dynamic-range (HDR) playback supports dual-layer and single-layer Dolby Vision streams and other HDR profiles based on the Society of Motion Pictures and Television Engineers ST 2084 standard, said Dolby. Displays with the HDR playback can take full advantage of a combination of peak brightness, local contrast and wider color gamut for an enhanced viewing experience, said the company.
