ATSC 3.0 is built with the Dolby Audio System for NEXTGEN TV, which intelligently enhances dialogue, maintains consistent volume as you change the channel and literally moves around you as you watch TV. 

What is Dolby Audio System?

  • Dolby uses advanced processing technologies to create a dynamic audio experience that connects you more deeply to your favorite entertainment. It puts you in the theater seat wherever you are.

ATSC 3.0 is built on the IP or Internet Protocol infrastructure, which offers users the advantage of both broadband and broadcast features. This means you’ll get better TV reception in places where you couldn’t before, such as office buildings and basements.
