Abu Dhabi Sports will produce and broadcast the UAE Football League in Dolby 5.1 surround sound. The channel claims to be the first to produce the games in Dolby 5.1.
Football fans across the Gulf will have the opportunity to enjoy the game between Al Ain and Al Jazira on April 27 in immersive surround sound.
“Watching a football match in Dolby surround sound really brings the thrill of the match in to your home, said Mohammed Najeeb, the head of Abu Dhabi Al Riyadiya Channels Abu Dhabi Medias sports broadcasting department.
For those who are unable to join the fans in the stadium to cheer on their team, watching the game in cinematic surround sound will be closest thing to actually being there. We are pleased to be working with Dolby and LIVE HD to deliver this amazing experience to our UAE League football fans around the world. This technology is a first for the UAE professional League, our viewers, and the entire Middle East, he added.
Abu Dhabi Sports has been broadcasting much of its international programming in Dolby 5.1 since August 2010 – including the Barclays Premiere League and Formula 1.
Tarif Sayed, regional director of Dolby, Middle East & Africa added that live programming such as sports offers a great showcase for Dolby surround sound.
We are delighted to be working with Abu Dhabi Sports on this landmark project. Football fans will truly feel the difference that surround sound provides in experiencing the action and capturing the moment.
