Digital Cinema Sound (DCS)
This is the generic name of the surround
sound produced by digital signal
processing technology developed by
Sony. Unlike previous surround sound
fields mainly directed at the reproduction
of music, Digital Cinema Sound is
designed specifically for the enjoyment
of movies.
DivX
®
Digital video technology created by
DivX, Inc. Videos encoded with DivX
technology are among the highest quality
with a relatively small file size.
Dolby Digital
This movie theater sound format is
more advanced than Dolby Surround
Pro Logic. In this format, the surround
speakers output stereo sound with
an expanded frequency range and a
subwoofer channel for deep bass is
independently provided. This format is
also called “5.1” because the subwoofer
channel is counted as 0.1 channel (since
it functions only when a deep bass effect
is needed). All six channels in this format
are recorded separately for superior
channel separation. Furthermore, since
all the signals are processed digitally, less
signal degradation occurs.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II creates five full-
bandwidth output channels from 2
channel sources. This is done using an
advanced, high-purity matrix surround
decoder that extracts the spatial
properties of the original recording
without adding any new sounds or tonal
colorations.
Movie mode
The Movie mode is for use with stereo
television shows and all the programs
encoded in Dolby Surround. The result
is enhanced sound field directionality
that approaches the quality of discrete
5.1-channel sound.
Music mode
The Music mode is for use with any
stereo music recordings, and provides a
wide and deep sound space.
