Dolby Digital
EX is newly introduced
surround
encoding
format as
an extension
of multi channel
Dolby
Digital,
designed
to add an
extra surround
channel
to Dolby
Digital
5.l-channel
(see below).
By
using a matrix
encoding/decoding
method,
additional
"surround
back" channel
signal is encoded
(and decoded)
in both the left and
right surround
channel
signals.
Compared
to the conventional
Dolby
Digital
5. l-channel,
this newly
added surround
back channel
can reproduce
more detailed
movements
behind
you while viewing
the video software.
In
addition,
surround
sound localization
will become
more stable, so
thai you can enjoy a realistic
surround
field in your listening
room.
