Terminology

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a digital audio compression technology

developed by Dolby Laboratories that allows large quantities of

audio data to be efficiently recorded on discs. It is compatible

with audio signals from mono (1 channel) all the way up to 5.1-

channel surround sound. The signals for the different channels

are completely independent, and since the sound is high quality

digital there is no loss of sound quality.

DTS

This is a home-use digital sound format of the DTS Sound

System. This is a high quality sound system, developed by

Digital Theater Systems Corp for use in movie theaters.

DTS has six independent sound tracks. The theater presentation

is fully realized in the home and other settings. DTS is the

abbreviation for Digital Theater Systems

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II provides multichannel surround sound from

any 2 channel source. It reproduces extended bandwidth

playback with 5.1 channels.

This is made possible by an advanced matrix surround decoder.

This new decoder is able to draw out spatial characteristics of

the recording without adding tonal coloration or artificial delays

that did not exist in the original.

Linear PCM audio

LPCM is a signal recording format used for music CDs. Whereas

music CDs are recorded at 44.1 kHz/ 16 bits, DVDs are recorded

at 48 kHz/16 bits to 96 kHz/24 bits, thereby achieving higher

sound quality than music CDs.
