About DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound)
The sound effects with DCS marks use DCS
technology.
In the collaboration with Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound
environment of their studios and integrated the
data of the measurement and Sony's own DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to
develop "Digital Cinema Sound". "Digital
Cinema Sound" simulates in a home theater an
ideal movie theater sound environment based on
the preference of movie director.
Enjoying movies with Cinema
Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying the
movie software encoded with multi channel
format, such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This
mode reproduces the sound characteristics of
Sony Pictures Entertainment's studios.
