Mbps on Blu-ray Disc, and it outputs Dolby Digital bitstreams for
playback on existing Dolby Digital systems. Dolby Digital Plus can
accurately reproduce the sound originally intended by directors and
producers.
It also features multi-channel sound with discrete channel output,
interactive mixing and streaming capability in advanced systems.
Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable
digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.
 Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is the next-generation lossless encoding technology
developed for high-definition optical discs in the upcoming era. Dolby
TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio
master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on
high-definition optical discs in the next generation. When coupled with
high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home
theater experience with stunning sound and high-definition picture.
It supports bit rates of up to 18 Mbps and records up to 8 full-range
channels (*) individually with 24-bit/96 kHz audio. It also features
extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic
range control. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a
single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and
video.
* HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc standards currently limit their maximum
number of audio channels to eight, whereas Dolby Digital Plus and
Dolby TrueHD support more than eight audio channels.

DTS

The DTS technologies are explained below. See www.dtstech.com for
more detailed information.
 DTS Digital Surround
DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel audio coding system from DTS
Inc. now widely used for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, 5.1 music discs, digital
broadcasts, and video games. It can deliver up to six discrete audio
channels, comprising five full range channels, including an LFE
channel. Higher sound quality is achieved through the use of a low
compression rate, and high rates of transmittance during playback.
 DTS-ES
DTS-ES (the ES stands for Extended Surround) is a decoder that is
capable of decoding both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1
encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 gives 'true' 6.1 channel sound,
with a completely separate (discrete) surround back channel. DTS-ES
Matrix 6.1 has a surround back channel matrixed into the surround left/
right channels. Both sources are also compatible with a conventional
DTS 5.1 channel decoder.
 DTS Neo:6
DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround sound from any matrixed
stereo source (such as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources. It uses
both the channel information already encoded into the source, as well
as its own processing to determine channel localization (with two
channel sources, the ".1" subwoofer channel is generated by bass
management in the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music) are
available using DTS Neo:6 with two channel sources.
 DTS 96/24
DTS 96/24 is an extension of the original DTS Digital Surround which
offers high quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio using a DTS 96/24 decoder. This
format is also fully backward compatible with all existing decoders. This
means that DVD players can play this software using a conventional DTS
5.1 channel decoder.
 DTS-EXPRESS
DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology supporting up to 5.1
channels with fixed data transfer rates. This format is incorporated with
sub audio on HD DVD and secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc while
boasting the potential applicability to upcoming broadcasts and
memory audio contents.
 DTS-HD Master Audio
DTS-HD Master Audio is a technology that delivers master audio
sources recorded in a professional studio to listeners without any loss of
data, preserving audio quality. DTS-HD Master Audio adopts variable
data transfer rates, facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5
Mbps in the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD format, which
by far exceeds that of a standard DVD. These high data transfer rates
enable lossless transmission of 96 kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources
without deteriorating the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master
Audio is an irreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound faithfully
as intended by the creator of music or movies.
