- Dolby Digital (or Dolby SR-D) is a 35mm sound process only.
- Dolby currently has no plans for 70mm digital prints. They are selling SR-D
- as 70mm quality sound on 35mm prints.
-
- Cinema Digital Sound (CDS) started on 70mm and was used on 35mm prints after
- ORC worked the bugs out of the CDS system.
