Dolby Laboratories, Inc. has announced that Paris-based post-production facility Ink Production studio has become the first French facility to be fitted with Dolby Atmos.

Ink Production is joining a growing number of post-production facilities across the globe and we really look forward to hearing the results of their efforts,” added Julian Pinn, director, cinema marketing, Dolby Laboratories.
