An industry veteran, Carroll is responsible for production and post-production solutions for Dolby Cinema and Dolby Vision. His move into product development has resulted in five Emmy award-winning products.

When you discuss emerging technologies like virtual reality or high dynamic range, its important to bring in leaders from those industries, said Dave Van Hoy, president, Advanced Systems Group. Our annual workshop remains relevant to content creators in the Bay Area because we examine important topics with speakers who are using these technologies for real-world projects.
