How Box and Dolby are transforming media in the cloud
Audio is one of the most prevalent forms of media consumed today. In the last 18 months, Box has seen over a 50 percent growth in audio files alone. With the rapid rise of audio-first social networking like Clubhouse, Twitter Spaces, and Reddit Talk, the explosion of the podcast industry, new social platforms like TikTok, film & TV productions ramping up to meet the ubiquitous growth of streaming and music creation, the need for easily accessible and premium quality audio is critical for companies of all sizes regardless of industry.
For all of the reason above, we’re thrilled to announce a new integration with Dolby that makes production-quality audio as simple as uploading a file to Box. With this new integration with Dolby.io, companies using Box can offer their users seamless and cost-effective audio enhancement tools that leverage Dolby’s decades of expertise enabling best-in-class entertainment experiences, all within the Content Cloud
Over the last year, the media & entertainment industry had to navigate the complexities of having a distributed workforce. At Box, we believe that technology will continue to shape the next evolution of the media & entertainment industry, from content production to the many new distribution platforms influencing consumers and creators alike.
“Dolby’s best-in-class technology combined with the Box Content Cloud gives users around the globe access to higher audio quality without adding additional strain to production teams” – Aaron Levie, CEO and Co-founder of Box
Dolby.io Media Processing APIs provide a suite of automated tools that can be used to enhance audio quality without ever leaving Box. This includes the ability to reduce unwanted background noise, improve speech intelligibility, and fix loudness problems to enhance content value. Now, Box customers have the ability to create professional sounding content that will delight viewers and listeners, all with just a few clicks.
“With media consumption and creation higher than ever, the people and organizations driving this new wave of content need convenient, agile, and flexible tools that ensure their content sounds its best,” said Kevin Yeaman, President and CEO of Dolby Laboratories. “With Dolby.io and Box, we are broadening access to tools that harness Dolby’s decades of experience in enabling transformational audio experiences through an efficient and scalable solution that’s built within Box. Our integration empowers Box users to deliver great sounding audio.”
