On this week's show we take a look at the history of a company that is synonymous with home theater, Dolby Laboratories. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: LG Outlines Plans to Become a Media and Entertainment Platform | TV Tech Watch out Amazon and Roku, Vizio's new 4K TVs are vying to be the best budget TVs Comcast's Xumo-Branded Smart TVs Are Getting Good Reviews But Are Already Deeply Discounted LG Stops Integrating ATSC 3.0 Tuners Into Smart TVs After Losing Patent Dispute, Samsung and Sony Could Follow | Next TV Other: Hisense Smart Short Projector Renewed The Dolby Laboratories History Story in Chronological Order 1965 - Dolby Laboratories is a longtime innovator of developing electronic devices and systems to improve recorded sound. Founded by Ray Dolby in 1965, the company's first development was Dolby A-type noise reduction. It was basically a specially designed electronic circuit contained in a compact metal case. It was not a recording machine, but it could be attached to a recorder to improve its sound. 1966 - Dolby creates first product to reduce noise in music recordings. 1968 - Ray Dolby next developed a consumer version of the Dolby A system at the urging of Henry Kloss, an American audio pioneer and president of KLH Research and Development Corporation. The result was the 1968 introduction of Dolby B-type noise reduction, intended for home tape recorders. Following a relocation of the company from London to San Francisco, Dolby B was released into the world. Designed primarily for cassettes, it went on to completely alter the way music was both recorded and received world-over. It was simple and cheap, and by the mid-70s it was the standard for all cassette tapes – and is the type of noise reduction and is still used to this very day. Yes – people still like their cassette tapes! 1971 - The first film with Dolby sound was A Clockwork Orange (1971), which used Dolby noise reduction on all pre-mixes and masters, but a conventional optical sound track on release prints. 1974 - Callan was the first film with a Dolby-encoded optical soundtrack. 1975 - Dolby Laboratories introduced Dolby Stereo, a product aimed at motion picture producers and theaters. Dolby Stereo was used with existing 35-mm optical soundtracks, but with important changes. At the studio, stereo soundtracks were recorded using Dolby equipment. At the theaters, a Dolby unit and new loudspeakers were added to the existing projection equipment. The result was much higher sound quality.  1976 - The first true LCRS (Left-Center-Right-Surround) soundtrack was encoded on the movie A Star Is Born in 1976. In less than ten years, 6,000 cinemas worldwide were equipped to use Dolby Stereo sound. Dolby reworked the system slightly for home use and introduced Dolby Surround, which only extracted a surround channel, and the more impressive Dolby Pro Logic, which was the domestic equivalent of the theatrical Dolby Stereo. 1977 -  Star Wars opens with Dolby Stereo®. 1982 -  the company was receiving $6 million annually in licensing fees from approximately 125 audio equipment manufacturers. With circuits in about 70 million different consumer products, Dolby had a monopoly in the consumer noise reduction field. In the 1980s, virtually all pre recorded cassettes used Dolby B.  The first major threat to Dolby's positioning began quietly in 1980, when dbx--a Newton, Massachusetts company--sold its system to several audio manufacturers, including the major Japanese company Matsushita Electric. In April 1982, the competition began to look more serious. Dbx pulled ahead of Dolby, developing the first miniature noise-reduction circuit for Walkmen, which at this time represented the fastest-growing consumer audio segment. Dbx, which had been developed in 1971, was a serious threat to Dolby because it reduced background noise by 40 decibels, a considerable improvement over Dolby's 10.  Initially, high prices had made dbx unfamiliar to consumers, but the system was favored by recording professionals. By 1982, dbx had already far overtaken Dolby and held 70 percent of the commercial recording equipment market. In response to the threat posed by dbx's competition, Dolby introduced an upgraded version of its system, Dolby C, as well as a portable product. 1986 - Dolby Spectral Recording (or SR) worked on magnetic soundtracks for film as well as music cassettes, producing digital clarity from an analog sound system. Dolby SR used the same basic principle as Dolby's original circuit, monitoring the sound signal and adjusting frequency boost to suit the loudness level, with different signal levels boosted at different amounts. The result was a system that was dynamic and almost infinitely flexible. The system was used by many professional studios instead of digital recording, and in 1988 Dolby SR was in use at movie theaters showing the films Robocop and Space. 1992 - Dolby achieved $40 million in revenues, with a third from royalty payments that headed straight to the bottom line. Dolby sound reduction was now featured on approximately 380 million tape players, boom boxes, headphones, and car stereos, as well as a few billion audio-cassette packages.  Dolby developed a digital surround sound compression scheme for the cinema. Dolby Stereo Digital (now simply called Dolby Digital) was first featured on the 1992 film Batman Returns. Introduced to the home theater market as Dolby AC-3 with the 1995 laserdisc release of Clear and Present Danger.  The format did not become widespread in the consumer market, partly because of extra hardware that was necessary to make use of it  until it was adopted as part of the DVD specification. Dolby Digital is now found in the HDTV (ATSC) standard of the United States, DVD players, and many satellite-TV and cable-TV receivers. Dolby developed a digital surround sound compression scheme for the TV series The Simpsons. 1998 - First live HDTV broadcast with 5.1-channel Dolby Digital audio. 1999 - Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace debuts in Dolby Surround EX. 2007 - Dolby announced the arrival of Dolby Volume at the International Consumer Electronics Show. 2010 - Dolby introduced Dolby Surround 7.1, and set up theaters worldwide with 7.1 surround speaker setups to deliver theatrical 7.1 surround sound. The first film to be released with this format was Pixar's Toy Story 3 which was later followed by 50 releases using the format. About eighty percent of films released are mixed in Dolby Surround 7.1 by default. 2014 - Dolby introduced its Dolby Atmos, a new cinematic technology adding overhead sound, first applied in Pixar's motion picture Brave. In July 2014, Dolby Laboratories announced plans to bring Atmos to home theater. The first television show to use the technology on disc was Game of Thrones. Dolby launches Dolby Vision™. 2019 - Dolby adds Atmos to hundreds of newer songs in the music industry.

Here is the news.China has stressed treatment and disease prevention for the giant panda following the death of two giant pandas in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.Funds have been allocated to treat sick pandas and prevent the disease from spreading. The state forestry administration has urged effective measures been taken to save the sick animals and guard against the spread of the disease.Two 8-year-old giant pandas in a wildlife breeding center in Shaanxi died recently after being infected with CDV, a viral disease that affects a wide variety of animals including dogs, primates and large cats. Two other pandas in the center are ill, with one in critical condition, while four others have shown symptoms of fever and been quarantined for further diagnosis.More than 30 experts from across China have come to the center to help.Canine distemper is a viral disease that affects the spinal cord and the brain. Infected animals show symptoms including high fever, vomiting and diarrhea. The disease is highly contagious, with a high fatality rate. It spreads through body fluids and contaminated food and water.Prior to the epidemic, the center was home to 25 giant pandas. After the outbreak, it sent its healthy pandas to several other nature reserves in the province.This is NEWS Plus Special English.The hottest topic at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the U.S, is the "Internet of Things", which means connecting everyday items to networked devices and smartphones for greater control and management of people's everyday lives.But, is that only about "things" like cars, home security systems and kitchen appliances? The answer is "definitely not"; and at the core of the issue is human.Samsung Electronics CEO B.K. Yoon said that the "Internet of Things" may be high tech but needs to be human-centric to succeed.He says new technologies shouldn't require consumers to adapt new lifestyles or habits; but, instead, it is something that will be naturally integrated into the everyday lives of consumers.Analysts predict that smart home is expected to be a key component of the "Internet of Things", and the "Internet of Things" market can run into billions of dollars globally by 2020.A U.S. survey found that 13 percent of broadband households own at least one smart home device.Walking in the 2-million-square-feet exhibit space and passing by the 3,600 exhibitor booths, visitors will find that everything goes "smart". However, it is human, the consumers, that judge what is smart or not.This is NEWS Plus Special English.With Motorola's acquisition by Lenovo complete, the phone maker will reenter the Chinese market with three of its latest mobile devices, after an absence of more than two years.Motorola will hold a launch event on January 26 in China.The company said they are looking forward to their reunion with the Chinese market after a long absence and they appreciate customer's patience.Lenovo executive vice president Liu Jun said the three smartphones include the most excellent new generation products in history of the brand.Lenovo Group, the world's biggest personal computer maker, has fully acquired Motorola's mobile business in October last year.In the almost 3 billion U.S. dollar deal, Lenovo took over the Motorola brand and Motorola's portfolio of innovative smartphones, as well as the future Motorola product roadmap.You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Yun Feng in Beijing.Scientists from New Zealand and Australia have observed DNA moving between animal cells, in a breakthrough discovery that can lead to better understanding of a range of human diseases and new gene therapies.The research team has claimed the finding to be the first in the world to demonstrate DNA movement between cells in an animal tumor.The study laid important groundwork for understanding human diseases other than cancer, since defective DNA was known to account for around 200 diseases and was implicated in many more.It can also usher in a new field where synthetic DNA is custom-designed to replace defective genes.In mouse models of breast cancer and melanoma that had their DNA removed, replacement DNA was acquired from surrounding normal mouse tissue. After adopting this new DNA, the cancer cells went on to form tumors that spread to other parts of the body.The results overturn the dogma that genes of higher organisms are usually constrained within cells except during reproduction. It may be that gene transfer between different cells is actually quite a common biological occurrence.Tests showed the DNA had been obtained from non-tumor cells and the next challenge will be to find out how this was possible.

This week, the team's heading back home as we recap the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show.

Trends at this year's CES Show: 4K TVs - Actually we saw a lot of this last year as well. Perhaps Braden's prediction of a 4K TV year may actually come true! OLED TVs - Again, we saw OLED last year too. But this year we saw larger sizes. LG is a big player here. Sound Bars - Now you may be seeing why we decided not to go to CES. Sound Bars are big because the speakers on most modern thin TVs are terrible. But its genius!! This now gives manufacturers an opportunity to sell another piece of gear. Wireless Speakers - Offerings from manufacturers like Sonos and some other companies that you have never heard of before as well made an impact this year. Smart Home/ Home Automation - Nothing new here! Wasn't last year the year of home automation?? Even more manufacturers to get into the automation game this year. Higher Resolution Audio -  This is a new trend and we like seeing it. The only issue is that high quality audio typically comes a high cost. Samsung Samsung showed a 110” UHD TV -  We talked about the 85” model that forced a family to sell one of their daughters into slavery so they could pay the $40K pricetag. It looks like the 110 inch model won't be produced. At least at this time. Its more of a concept TV brought to CES to show what they can do. Will TVs like this ever get down in price to the point where projectors are no longer necessary? They also demonstrated an 85” that is “Bendable”. Turn it on and the edges curve towards you. Turn it off and its flat! Samsung to Unveil Secret Weapon at 2014 International CES - Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil its secret weapon, the V1 Bomb, a high-definition TV called Quantum-dot LED TV (QLED TV) at the 2014 International CES Samsung To Debut Wireless Streaming Speaker, Home Theater System, Portable Stereo And Two TV Soundbars Samsung unveils a new foundation for the smart home LG LG unveiled twelve 4K televisions for 2014 - They introduced the 105-inch 4K 105UC9 that has an aspect ratio of  21:9 and is powered by the webOS Smart TV platform. If you can't find any 4K content for these spiffy new TVs have no fear. LG has developed something called Tru-ULTRA HD Engine Pro.  Its supposed to improve overall Ultra HD picture quality. That along with a new proprietary upscaling chip will make SD and HD content look better on Ultra HD televisions. Well at least according to LG. On the Audio side of things, LG says it worked with Harman Kardon to develop premium audio systems for each TV. But seriously, with TVs like these are you really thinking about not using a receiver?  The remaining lineup: LG UB9800 Series - 4K, WebOS, Tru-Ultra HD Engine Pro, IPS, passive 3D, 65, 79, 84, 98 inches LG UB9500 Series - 4K, WebOS, IPS, passive 3D, 55, 65 inches LG UB8500 Series - 4K, WebOS, IPS, passive 3D, 49, 55 inches LG EC9800 - 4K, WebOS, OLED,  Bendable, 77 inches LG EC9700 - 4K, WebOS, OLED, 55, 65 inches Panasonic TC-AX800U series - 4K, edge-lit local dimming, 65 and 58 inches.

The 2014 Consumer Electronics Show better known as CES has kicked off in Las Vegas with a preview of some of the world's newest, hottest technology. LG unveiling① its new webOS-based smart TVs, which it claims will "make TV simple again". More than 70 percent of LG's smart TVs will be based on webOS in 2014, which helps simplify searching contents and setting up the TV. LG also expects the new OS will make it easy for developers to write applications for its TVs. The company also aims to use webOS to increase communications between smart TVs and other devices. Dr Skott Ahn is LG Electronics Chief Technology Officer "With webOS, LG has simplified② the TV experience again. We've simplified the way you connect your TV, the way you switch between content and input and the way you discover new content and services." Content partners set to supply LG televisions with new Ultra HD, 4K content include Youtube, Amazon and online steaming service Netflix, who say they will be supplying US television drama series "House of Cards"③ in the high-quality format. LG is also showcasing its new curved smart phone, the LG G Flex, which it describes as its most advanced smart phone yet. Sony is taking the wraps off its latest high definition④ televisions at this year's CES. The company's 2014 announcements include a three-product line with 4K resolution⑤. Sony's Mike Fasulo says the X900B model took center stage at the event, one that Sony used to hype not only its television line, but its entire video line, from acquisition to display. "From our professional 4K cameras to our cinema projectors⑥, Sony has been and continues to be at the forefront of original 4K content creation." Sony says the X900B 4K Ultra HDTV offers improved 4K picture capabilities and allows for content to be streamed wirelessly with built-in⑦ Wi-Fi. High-definition audio is also being shown off, with Fasulo boasting the benefits that Sony provides with its latest technology.

"High-res audio offers three to seven times the information and higher fidelity⑧ than traditional CDs, delivering sound the way the artist meant it to be heard."

Les Thomas and Sybil Danning explore the clouds, comic books and high fashion in their newest creative ventures. Having met by way of feminism and videogames, both Les and Sybil know the importance, the need for strong female figures in the lives of all genders. Ruger, the character created by Sybil Danning, is being franchised into a cloud videogame, graphic novel and film. She is a mystery, and you may learn more during the next hour or so, maybe even a little bit from Sybil herself. We'll also talk to Les about Sybil Danning representing Dzmitry Samal's new line of eyewear. Sybil will be wearing simple black in a classic Hollywood style that she so embodies. The black does not limit but extenuates the eyewear's singular pixilated quality. In addition, Les will talk about how the Ruger game is a gateway program to helping the world through computing in technologically remote parts of the world. Les and Sybil also connect on the level of believing all people deserve to have basic computing services, and also play a few fun games along the way. Les was recently called a "key analyst and producer in the global gaming industry" by Cloud Computing Journal and attended the International Consumer Electronics Show 2012, just two weeks ago. He attended CES 2012 to talk with financiers regarding Sybil's and other exciting projects in the works. He also attended some hot parties that put the Sin back into Sin City. A resident of Las Vegas, Nevada, Les will undoubtedly reveal more over the course of the interview.
