1.3 Dolby AC-3 and AC-2
Despite the low, spectrum-efficient data rate, Dolby AC-3 and AC-2 yield very high
audio quality and is suitable for the most demanding of professional and consumer
distribution applications. First demonstrated to the film industry in May of 1991,
Dolby AC-3 audio coding technology has evolved into a very sophisticated and
flexible system for the digital representation of high quality sound. Dual channel
implementations of the AC-3 algorithm can be user-configured to operate in Dual
Mono or Stereo modes.
AC-3 and AC-2 are compatible with Dolby Matrix Surround decoding. A wide
range of bit rates and audio coding modes are supported with this audio coding
technique, and are summarized in the tables on the following page.
