Dolby

Dolby appears in The latest TV innovations have their critics through Mahesh Balakrishnan, its VP of Consumer Technology. The episode presents Dolby as developing a more selective approach to motion processing, where smoothing can be guided by creator metadata and applied only where needed.

The source links Dolby to Selective Motion Smoothing rather than to generic TV enhancement. Its relevance is the attempt to reduce TV Motion Stutter without globally triggering the Soap Opera Effect that makes film content look unlike film.
