Sony and Dolby to collaborate on Dolby Vision 4K discs

Sony Pictures is set to release a “growing slate of Dolby Vision 4K Ultra HD titles” over the coming months, in both streaming and physical disc formats - most likely Ultra HD Blu-ray.

“We continue to be enthusiastic about the growing consumer appetite for next-generation 4K Ultra HD content," said Richard Berger of SPHE.

"With Dolby Vision imaging technology, we can now master our movies with the highest-quality visual experience for distribution to consumers’ homes.”

Fox Home Entertainment has previously announced that a selection of films with HDR treatment will be made available as part of a ‘beta launch’ in the USA. All of its future new releases will be available in UHD with HDR.

Max is a staff writer for What Hi-Fi?'s sister site, TechRadar, in Australia. But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
