Dolby Pro Logic IIx is a new technology enabling discrete
multichannel playback from 2-channel or multi-channel sources.
There are three modes available: “Music mode” for music
sources, “Movie mode” for movie sources (for 2-channel sources
only) and “Game mode” for game sources.
Dolby TrueHD is an advanced lossless audio technology
developed for high-definition disc-based media including Blu-ray
Disc. Selected as an optional audio standard for Blu-ray Disc, this
technology delivers sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio
master, offering a high-definition home theater experience.
Supporting bitrates up to 18.0 Mbps, Dolby TrueHD can carry up
to 8 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously.
Dolby TrueHD also remains fully compatible with the existing
multichannel audio systems and retains the metadata capability of
Dolby Digital, allowing dialog normalization and dynamic range
control.
Deep Color is a type of video signal that can be transmitted by the
HDMI jacks of this unit. Deep Color refers to the use of various
color depths in displays, up from the 24-bit depths in previous
versions of the HDMI specification. This extra bit depth allows
HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions
of colors and eliminate on-screen color banding for smooth tonal
transitions and subtle gradations between colors. The increased
contrast ratio can represent many times more shades of gray
between black and white. Also Deep Color increases the number
of available colors within the boundaries defined by the RGB or
YCbCr color space.
Digital surround sound system developed by DTS, Inc., which
provides 5.1 channel audio. With an abundance of audio data, it is
able to provide authentic-sounding effects.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio is a high resolution audio
technology developed for high-definition disc-based media
including Blu-ray Disc. Selected as an optional audio standard for
Blu-ray Disc, this technology delivers sound that is virtually
indistinguishable from the original, offering a high-definition
home theater experience. Supporting bitrates up to 6.0 Mbps for
Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio can carry up to
7.1 discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously.
The lossless high quality audio format created for next generation
optical disc such as Blu-lay Disc. It is selected as an audio
standard for Blu-ray Disc. Supporting bitrates up to 24.5 Mbps
for Blu-ray Disc, DTS-HD High Master Audio can carry up to 7.1
discrete channels of 24-bit/96 kHz audio simultaneously.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the first
industry supported, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video
interface. When used in combination with HDCP (High-
bandwidth Digital Content Protection), HDMI provides a secure
audio/video interface that meets the security requirements of
content providers and system operators.
Linear PCM is a signal format under which an analog audio
signal is digitized, recorded, and transmitted without using any
compression. This is used as a method of recording CDs and
DVD audio. The PCM system uses a technique for sampling the
size of the analog signal per very small unit of time. Standing for
pulse code modulation, the analog signal is encoded as pulses and
then modulated for recording.
x. v. color is a type of video signal that can be transmitted by the
HDMI jacks of this unit. It is a more extensive color space than
sRGB, and allows the expression of colors that could not be
expressed before. While remaining compatible with the color
gamut of sRGB standards, “x.v.Color” expands the color space
and can thus produce more vivid, natural images. It is particularly
effective for still pictures and computer graphics.
