| 350 systems commitments to date for Dolby(R) 3D |
"Momentum for the Dolby 3D system is growing, as exhibitors around the world are seeing the immediate benefits of our digital 3D solution," said Peter Seagger, Vice President, International Cinema Sales, Dolby Laboratories.

Many exhibitors also like the fact that our system uses cost-effective, reusable passive 3D glasses, which are also more environmentally friendly."
