3-Nov-00

TGS Inc., a broadcast systems integration company, recently designed a new studio facility for WTVI, Charlotte, North Carolina, that will use both DolbyÆ Digital and Dolby E equipment. WTVI is one of the first terrestrial broadcast studios to use Dolby E, which is designed for the efficient distribution of quality multichannel audio.""We're delighted to see Dolby E's continued acceptance within the broadcast industry,"" said Tim Carroll, Marketing Manager, Broadcast Products for Dolby Laboratories. ""The technology really makes sense; better sound through a more efficient medium. We believe that Dolby E will facilitate the transition from stereo to multichannel audio for broadcasters.""WTVI, an independent PBS affiliate, will broadcast many of PBS's Dolby Digital encoded programs in 5.1-channel surround sound. PBS recently broadcast ""Sahara,"" a two-hour natural history program about the wonders of the Sahara Desert, and ""A Capitol Fourth 2000,"" an Independence Day gala at the nation's capital, in Dolby Digital 5.1 multichannel audio.""WTVI brought TGS onto this project to create a top-of-the-line broadcast studio,"" said Willy Halla, Vice President, Engineering for TGS Inc. ""We surveyed everything out there, and Dolby E was the only technology that met expectations.""For more information about TGS Inc., visit www.tgsinc.net.
