A simulated strip of 35 mm film in the proposed Univisium 2.00:1 3-perf format with two digital soundtracks present. At far left and far right, outside the perforations, is the SDDS soundtrack as an image of a digital signal. Between the perforations (on the left side) is the Dolby Digital soundtrack (note the tiny Dolby "Double D" logo in the center of each area between the perforations).
