Dolby Laboratories, Inc., a pioneer in advancing the science of sight and sound to make entertainment more engaging and lifelike, today announced that Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will encode thousands of movies and television programs in the UltraViolet Common File Format (CFF) using Dolby Digital Plus, the premium audio standard for mobile and connected entertainment.

Home Entertainment will deliver thousands of movies and TV series with Dolby Digital Plus sound. Already the choice of leading online movie services that deliver surround sound, Dolby Digital Plus ensures that UltraViolet consumers can enjoy the experience the artist imagined. Dolby Digital Plus is currently enabled across more than one billion devices in the marketplace.
