Patrick Carroll
Managing Director of Technologies at NASCAR
Dolby’s THEOplayer immediately looked like a much better solution and just stood out a mile above everything else that we came across. Their approach aligned with our own work style, and because they are so knowledgeable about video for React Native, we have been able to entrust such a critical feature to their expert care.
