Analyst Highlights Dolby Vision Support on Xbox, Panasonic Blu-ray Players

Dougherty again said it's an “enthusiastic” Dolby investor, in a research note Thursday, following reports the Xbox One S and X are getting Dolby Vision HDR support via a software update through the Netflix app. “Over time, we'd expect Vision support to be expanded to gameplay and Blu-ray playback,” said analyst Steven Frankel. The Dolby Vision support follows the rollout of Dolby Atmos support for Xbox, he noted. Frankel also cited Panasonic’s recent debut of Blu-ray players with Dolby Vision support, despite its lack of Vision support on the TVs it sells in Europe with HDR10+. Dolby didn’t respond to questions.
