Dolby Digital identifi es the use of Dolby Digital audio
coding for such consumer formats as DVD and DTV.
As with fi lm sound, Dolby Digital can provide up to fi ve
full-range channels for left, center, and right screen
channels, independent left and right surround channels,
and a sixth (".1") channel for low-frequency effects.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic II is an improved matrix
decoding technology that provides better spatiality
and directionality on Dolby Surround program
material; provides a convincing three-dimensional
soundfi eld on conventional stereo music recordings;
and is ideally suited to bring the surround experience
to automotive sound. While conventional surround
programming is fully compatible with Dolby Surround
Pro Logic II decoders, soundtracks will be able to be
encoded specifi cally to take full advantage of Pro
Logic II playback, including separate left and right
surround channels. (Such material is also compatible
with conventional Pro Logic decoders.)
Dolby Digital EX creates six full-bandwidth output
channels from 5.1-channel sources. This is done
using a matrix decoder that derives three surround
channels from the two in the original recording. For
best results, Dolby Digital EX should be used with
movies soundtracks recorded with Dolby Digital
Surround EX.
About Dolby Pro Logic IIx
Dolby Pro Logic IIx technology delivers a natural
and immersing 7.1-channel listening experience
to the home theater environment. A product of
Dolby's expertise in surround sound and matrix
decoding technologies, Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a
complete surround sound solution that maximizes
the entertainment experience from stereo as well as
5.1-channel encoded sources.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is fully compatible with Dolby
Surround Pro Logic technology and can optimally
decode the thousands of commercially available Dolby
Surround encoded video cassettes and television
programs with enhanced depth and spatiality. It can
also process any high-quality stereo or Advanced
Resolution 5.1-channel music content into a seamless
6.1- or 7.1-channel listening experience.
The Dolby Headphone technology provides a
surround sound listening experience over headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such as DVD
movies over headphones, the listening experience
is fundamentally different than listening to speakers.
Since the headphone speaker drivers are covering
the pinna of the ear, the listening experience differs
greatly from traditional speaker playback. Dolby
utilizes patented headphone perspective curves to
solve this problem and provides a non-fatiguing,
immersive, home theater listening experience. Dolby
Headphone also delivers exceptional 3D audio from
stereo material.
Dolby Virtual Speaker is a technologycertifi ed by Dolby
Laboratories that creates a virtualized surround sound
experience from two speakers using a multichannel
Dolby Digital source. Additionally, Dolby Virtual
Speaker can simulate the surround sound effect
produced by Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Pro Logic II.
