Technicolor Connected Home has joined forces with LG U+ and HARMAN’s Embedded Audio group to develop and deploy a high-end, multi-service home-entertainment platform that supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos delivered through a HARMAN Sound by JBL audio solution for the South Korean market.
LG U+, one of Korea’s largest telecommunications providers -- and a division of the leading global consumer electronics company -- teamed up with HARMAN, a company whose audio brands including JBL are synonymous with an exceptional sound experience, to develop a premium multi-service audio-visual platform that will be integrated into Technicolor Connected Home CPE.
The new platform -- U+tv Soundbar Black -- is designed to address growing demand for premium home entertainment in South Korea, one of the most sophisticated markets in the world. The U+tv Soundbar Black features Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos to deliver high-dynamic range (HDR) picture quality and a rich surround sound experience through two-way speakers housed in a soundbar enclosure designed by HARMAN.
This is the latest development in Technicolor Connected Home's ongoing commitment to leveraging open and innovative technologies for service providers around the world. The ultimate goal is to help service providers deliver seamless connectivity and premium entertainment experiences to consumers by creating best-in-class CPE and partnering with the most innovative companies in the connected home ecosystem.

This joint initiative offers LG U+ subscribers an integrated immersive audio and visual experience right out of the box that is delivered and supported by the leading network service provider in the market. Technicolor Connected Home has integrated Dolby Atmos technology in combination with eight JBL high-fidelity speakers -- with two speakers in the up firing position to deliver the optimum Atmos experience.
