Dolby Headphone
The Dolby Headphone technology provides
a surround sound listening experience over
headphones.
When listening to multichannel content such
as DVD movies over headphones, the listening
experience is fundamentally different than listening
to speakers. Since the headphone speaker drivers
are covering the pinna of the ear, the listening
experience differs greatly from traditional speaker
playback. Dolby utilizes patented headphone
perspective curves to solve this problem and
provides a non-fatiguing, immersive, home theater
listening experience. Dolby Headphone also
delivers exceptional 3D audio from stereo material.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a high definition audio technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories, using lossless
coding technology to faithfully reproduce the sound
of the studio master.
This format provides the facility to support up to
8 audio channels with a sampling frequency of
96kHz/24bit resolution and up to 6 audio channels
with a sampling frequency of 192kHz/24bit
resolution. Dolby TrueHD is adopted for applications
that put very high importance on sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic g
Dolby Pro Logic g is a matrix decoding technology
developed by Dolby Laboratories.
Regular music such as that on CDs is encoded into
5 channels to achieve an excellent surround effect.
The surround channel signals are converted into
stereo and full band signals (with a frequency
response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz or greater) to create
a “three-dimensional” sound image offering a rich
sense of presence for all stereo sources.
Dolby Pro Logic gx
Dolby Pro Logic gx is a further improved version of
the Dolby Pro Logic g matrix decoding technology.
Audio signals recorded in 2 channels are decoded
to achieve a natural sound with up to 7.1 channels.
There are three modes: “Music” suited for playing
music, “Movie” suited for playing movies, and
“Game” which is optimized for playing games.
Explanation of terms
Dolby Pro Logic gz
Dolby Pro Logic gz introduces a new dimension to
Home Entertainment through the addition of a pair
of front height channels. Compatible with stereo,
5.1-channel and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro
Logic gz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth
and dimension to movies, concert video and video
game playback while maintaining the full integrity
of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic gz identifies and decodes spatial
cues that occur naturally in all content, directing
this information to the front height channels,
complementing the performance of left and right
surround sound speakers. Content that is encoded
with Dolby Pro Logic gz height channel information
can be even more revealing, with perceptually
discrete height channel information bringing an
exciting new dimension to home entertainment.
Dolby Pro Logic gz, with front height channels is
also an ideal alternative for households that cannot
support the placement of back surround speakers
of a typical 7.1-channel system but may have
bookshelf space available to support the addition of
height speakers.
Dolby Virtual Speaker
Dolby Virtual Speaker is a technology certified
by Dolby Laboratories that creates a virtualized
surround sound experience from two speakers
using a multichannel Dolby Digital source.
Additionally, Dolby Virtual Speaker can simulate the
surround sound effect produced by Dolby Pro Logic
or Dolby Pro Logic g.
Dolby Virtual Speaker retains all the original
Multichannel audio information and provides the
listener with the sensation of being surrounded by
additional speakers.
Downmix
