AUDIO DESCRIPTION AND AUDIO ENHANCEMENT
Dolby Accessibility Solutions at Regent Street Cinema
Regent Street Cinema now offers the Dolby DAS system to ensure an inclusive and immersive experience for more cinema-goers. Our new devices offer:
Audio Description (AD): Detailed narration brings visuals to life for visually impaired audiences.
Closed Captions (CC): On-screen text ensures every line of dialogue and sound cue is accessible to those who are hard of hearing.
Audio Enhancement: Clearer, adjustable sound amplifies every detail, making the cinematic experience richer and more engaging.
Simply ask one of our team for a device when you arrive for your screening. Dolby DAS users will receive an audio headset for Audio Description and Audio Enhancement and a small, handheld device for Closed Captions.
Users of our personal Dolby DAS devices will be able to configure their own personal experience; selecting to enjoy Audio Description (AD), Closed Captions (CC), Audio Enhancement or a combination of the three accessibility features.
Screenings that offer Audio Description, Audio Enhancement and Closed Captions will be identifiable with AD and CC icons.
