GEC NEWS WIREThe updated design of Dolby Professional Reference Monitor introduces several new hardware features including HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.1 interfaces
Dolby Laboratories announced an updated Dolby Professional Reference Monitor PRM-4220. With the same accuracy and Grade 1 performance as the Dolby PRM-4200, the updated design introduces several new hardware features including HDMI 1.4 and Display Port 1.1 interfaces.
“The Dolby Professional Reference Monitor is constantly being updated to keep pace with evolving workflows,” said Bill Admans, Dolby’s Director Of Production And Postproduction Solutions. “These new hardware features incorporate the Dolby monitor with the latest workflow tools, ensuring our customers realize full return-on-investment.” With a more ergonomic design and a slimmer profile, the updated monitor allows facilities easier integration into installations where space is limited. Other improvements include an almost one third weight reduction over the previous design.
“After evaluating the updated Dolby Professional Reference Monitor PRM-4220, we are fully confident the onscreen performance perfectly matches our existing Dolby PRM-4200 monitors. We trust the accuracy and performance of the Dolby monitor for all of our color grading needs,” said Aldolfo Martinelli, CTO at Incendio a boutique post production facility in Venice, California. “In addition, the reduced depth and weight of the updated Dolby monitor, along with the added versatility of HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, makes it an even better fit for our workflow.”
“The Dolby PRM-4220 is a great partner for Codex Review, enabling the playback and QC of camera original data in a near-set environment, which is a critical part of any digital pipeline,” said Marc Dando, MD, Codex Digital. “Codex has relied on the Dolby monitor for several years, and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Dolby as the industry continues to transition to an all-digital production pipeline.” In presenting Dolby with an Emmy Award, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences hailed the Dolby Professional Reference Monitor as a new standard for critical viewing.
