Cinema list order

The cinema list was arranged according to country followed by county/town etc in order to make it easy / faster to scan through the list and find locations based on those parameters. Making the list according to opening date defeats this as well as doesn't offer any benefit as the opening order isn't critical once the cinema is open.Versova (talk) 04:30, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be better to make the list sortable by column? One can then choose alphabetical or chronological. I know Wikipedia offers this possibility but am not yet aware how to implement it. The Seventh Taylor (talk) 06:03, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Official / technical information?

Are there any more in-depth, official technical documents or the like? Such as specifications for the design, for the room acoustic treatment etc.? For Dolby Atmos such whitepapers exist, but for "Cinema" there only seem to be press releases and marketing. Anyone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.158.137.195 (talk) 09:08, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There is this ^[1] article that talks about the precursor experiments for Dolby Vision.Versova (talk) 14:55, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Christie 6P HDR

According to the folks at AVS, the Christie 6P projectors with HDR have a static spatial modulator of multiple zones. Each of these zones controls the the light it reflects depending on the brightness of that part of the final image. The light passes through an integrator rod with multiple zones where it is homogenized for each of the zone and then through a hollow integrator rod to blur the seam between each of the zones. Then there are nine DMD's per projector for the three primaries, all of which control the thereby removing any unwanted light from the light source and leading to increased sequential contrast.

Plus, the projectors are operated differently to IMAX, with the second projector used for bright areas of the frame only, thereby increasing the intra-frame brightness.

Not putting this in the article until this is confirmed.Versova (talk) 05:09, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

List of movies incomplete

The beginning of the list appears to be missing. During the opening of the first Dolby Cinema in Eindhoven (NL) for instance, Exodus: Gods and Kings was screened. Surely other movies were releases between December 2014 and May 2015? The Seventh Taylor (talk) 06:06, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Tomorrowland was the first movie rendered in Dolby Vision based on (http://investor.dolby.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=906687). Exodus and Hobbit used the Signature entrance and Atmos. Versova (talk) 02:42, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lists of locations and movies

I implore you to propose a compromise on this issue. and this could continue forever.

None of this stuff should be in the article. It's highly indiscriminate and mostly unsourced/original research. Hence why I have removed it. Ajf773 (talk) 10:52, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

There are key reasons for listing both films, dates, and venues. "Indiscriminate information" refers to information that is not significantly related to the topic. The locations and movies are very related. Dolby Cinema can't exist as a product without having locations to show it and movies to utilize it. Dolby Cinema is both a combination of film grading technology and venue. To further explain, Dolby Cinema is not just the combination of Dolby Vision and Atmos. It additionally includes a certain set of subwoofer configuration unique to only the Dolby Cinema platform. Everything to the seat design/engineering, room treatment, and screen size are unique to the particular theater. The films utilize different uses of technologies and may have wide or limited releases. Release dates provide both prior and future historical data. The sources do include data and citations. Sources for some of the dates are based on previous actual theater runs. Future dates are based on the AMC Prime release page and Dolby's site as well in addition to just press releases but official repositories. Dolby Atmos and Vision data are listed in IMDB technical specifications sections for data, and historically matched information with future releases. IMDB, Dolby, and IMDB list official information about these film releases. The wiki community greatly benefits from this information as integral. There are plenty of source citations across these data entries. There have been years of editing and input and deletions and verifications on this information It seems that you just got here and are applying edits of deleting most of the the wiki article, without actually thoroughly researching. These claims of lack of relevance and superfluous information are frankly both false and disrespectful to the work and effort put into the creation and work put into this site. You were making these heavy deletions without gaining any consensus with the community. Consensus is listed under the guidelines of the review process for wikipedia. According to this, you should not just delete changes as quickly. Our response of reverting changes does not follow the guidelines and therefore our reversions to the original pages go against the standard guidelines. Our reversions of your sudden edits are completely justified. Knowledge of the topic at hand is more important than vague understandings of the content. I read through your Reddit guidelines links. Something that demonstrates the case that you have made indiscriminate edits is that you reverted 4 revisions without even looking at the remaining 3 edits you reverted after the blanket revision. For example the "for the dolly camera" link at the top of page. Dolby Cinema has no confusion with "Dolly" in any form, but you reverted that without citing why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Defaultfresh (talk • contribs) 19:53, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, a list of cinemas and list of movies is not significant to the topic whatsoever. It's needless trivia. We have policies WP:NOTDIR and WP:NOTIINFO that take precendent over WP:ILIKEIT. As for the edits you made which may not have been in violation of WP:NOT you can add them back in. Ajf773 (talk) 01:45, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I've removed the list of theaters again, since there is already a link in the "See also" section to List of Dolby Cinema venues. Of course, that list is the subject of a deletion discussion at the moment, and if it doesn't survive, consider adding an external link to Dolby Cinema Locations at the bottom of this article. That should be acceptable and provide the same information.
As for the list of films that feature both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, that can also exist as an external link to Theatrical Releases in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The film list isn't adding any real value here, other than trivial or curious information that already exists elsewhere on the internet, so it should be removed. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and should not indiscriminately list a collection of information just because it exists. The significance of a list transforms into insignificance as the number of listed items grows from a handful to dozens or hundreds (though even short lists could be called into question). Also the fact that we can provide external links to the same information further supports the removal of the lists from Wikipedia. --GoneIn60 (talk) 03:12, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The external link is all that is needed, we don't need a list of films repeated on here, there's literally hundreds of them with Dolby Cinema accreditation. And majority of the film articles in the list make no reference to this whatsoever. Hence why I reaffirm my preference to remove the entire list. Ajf773 (talk) 08:22, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The AfD for cinema locations has now been closed and the outcome was delete. The external link remains and I'm now going to replace the entire list of films with the other external link provided, as this seems to be the logical outcome. Ajf773 (talk) 19:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
