Film Glossary 
Dolby Laboratories Inc.
Sound reinforcement is a very important part of the film industry. Dolby Laboratories are located in San Francisco, Ca. and developed a technique for reducing noise in audio recordings. This patented innovation was developed by Thomas Dolby in 1965 particularly for the recording industry. Applied to film technology and production in 1972 (Quiet Revolution) its demand and attention was gained with respect to the film "Star Wars." Most theatres in the U.S. (and in other nations as well) have converted their sound systems to one form of Dolby or another. In 1990 the technique developed into digitally recorded sound.
