Krell Showcase Processor
THX
THX post processing can be added to Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital,
and DTS encoded material, and includes the following algorithms:
— Re-Equalization takes the edginess or brightness out of your
home cinema sound.
— Timbre Matching matches the tone of your front loudspeakers to
your surround loudspeakers.
— Adaptive Decorrelation gives a stereo feel when your surround
source is mono. Adaptive Decorrelation automatically switches off
when the surround source is stereo.
— Bass Management Electronic Crossover allows you to use more
compact, easier-to-place loudspeakers, while sending bass to a
subwoofer system, improving frequency response, lowering dis-
tortion and increasing dynamic range.
— Bass Peak Level Manager protects the subwoofer from overload-
ing due to the great amount of bass a 5.1 soundtrack delivers.
— Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronization lets you easily set
up your system for an optimum listening position.
THX SURR EX
THX Surround EX is a process that decodes a back surround signal
from the left and right surround channels on specially encoded Dolby
Digital DVD movie releases. THX Surround EX uses all the process-
ing included in the THX operating mode (see above). Your system
must include one or two back/surround loudspeakers for THX
Surround EX to operate.
If the DVD has the proper encoding, the Showcase Processor will recognize
THX Surround EX and automatically engage the signal. Many DVD discs
include THX Surround EX information but do not encode it in a way that a
surround processor can recognize.
DTS Neo:6 provides up to six full-bandwidth channels of information
from stereo encoded material. 7.1 and 6.1 systems will derive six
channels from the signal while 5.1 systems will derive five channels
from the signal. DTS Neo:6 includes two modes:
DTS NEO:6 CINEMA
for
two channel matrixed movie material and
DTS NEO:6 MUSIC
for stereo
encoded music material.
