DIGITAL SOUND FIELD PROCESSING (DSP)
A sound field is defined as the ·'characteristic sound reflections of a
particular
space.~'
In concert halls and other Illusic venues, we hear
early reflections and reverberations as well as the direct sound
produced by the artist(s). The valiations in the early reflections and
other reverberations among the different Illusic venues is what gives
each venue its special and recognizable sound quality.
YAMAHA sent teaIllS of sound engineers all around the \\/orld to
measure the sound reflections of famous concert halls and music
venues, and collect detailed sound field infonTIation such as the
direction~ strength~
range, and delay tilne of those reflections. Then
we stored this enormous amount of data in the ROM chips of this
unit.
Recreating the sound field of a concert hall or an opera house requires localizing the viItual sound sources in your
listening rOOIll. The traditional stereo systerTI that uses only two speakers is not capable of recreating a realistic sound
field.
YAMAHA~s
DSP requires four effect speakers to recreate sound fields based on the measured sound field data.
The processor controls the strength and delay time of the signals output froIll the four effect speakers to localize the
virtual sound sources in a full circle around the listener.
Filtnlnakers intend the dialog to be located right on the screen, the effect sound a little farther back, the olusic spread
even farther back, and the surround sound around the listener. Of course. all of these sounds rTIust be synchronized \vith
the images on the screen.
CINEMA-DSP is an upgraded version of YAMAHA DSP specially designed for rTIovie soundtracks. CINEMA-DSP
integrates the DTS, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Pro Logic surround sound technologies \\/ith YAMAHA DSP sound field
prograrTIs to provide the surround sound field. It recreates the IllOSt cOlnplete movie sound design in your audio room. In
CINEMA-DSP sound field
programs~ YAMAHA~s
exclusive DSP processing is added to the right and left Main and
Center channels, so the listener can enjoy realistic dialogue, depth of sound, SIllOOth transition between sound sources,
and a sun·ound sound field that goes beyond the screen.
When a DTS or Dolby Digital signal is
detected~
the CINEMA-DSP sound fIeld processor automatically chooses the
most suitable sound field program for that signal.
