IAP 8

Chapter 1

Introduction

Surround Loudspeakers

When IAP 8 receives surround channels via HDMI, it will reproduce them

over the surround loudspeakers. For stereo audio, IAP 8 can generate sur-

round channels, which are used to render room information in the recording

more naturally.

Height Loudspeakers

Height loudspeakers add to the perception of depth and immersion. The

sound stage appears more three-dimensional.
