• HDMI

HDMI (High-Defi nition Multimedia Interface) is an enhancement to the DVI (Digital Visual Interface) standard. It adds capabilities for digitally transmitting audio signals in addition to video signals. Where multiple cables were previously needed for audio/ video, HDMI enables audio/video connection via a single cable.

The HDMI input jacks of this unit support HDMI Ver. 1.3a. and the HDMI output jacks of this transmitter support HDMI Ver. 1.3a.

Copyright Protection

This unit supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). HDCP is copyright protection technology that consists of data encoding and other device authentication. Its purpose is to protect digital video content. Both this unit and the connected component (such as a video player or monitor) must support HDCP. Before connecting a component to this unit, refer to its instruction manual.

DESCRIPTION

THX® isanexclusivesetofstandardsandtechnologies established by the world-renowned film production company, Lucasfilm Ltd. THX resulted from George Lucas’ desire to reproduce the movie soundtrack as faithfully as possible both in the movie theater and in the home theater.

THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from a movie theater environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur.

When the THX mode of the unit is on, three distinct THX technologies are automatically added: Re-Equalization-restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie in a home environment. These sounds are otherwise mixed to be brighter for a large movie theater. Re-EQ compensates for this and prevents the soundtracks from being overly bright and harsh when played in a home theater. Timbre Matching-filters the information going to the surround speakers so they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers.

This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.

Adaptive Decorrelation-slightly changes one surround channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel.

This expands the listening position and creates with only two surround speakers the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theater with multiple surround speakers.

The unit was required to pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests, in addition to incorporating the technologies explained above, in order to be THX certified.

THX requirements cover every aspect of performance including pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.

Movies which have been encoded in Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, stereo and Mono will all benefit from the THX mode when being viewed.

The THX mode should only be activated when watching movies which were originally produced for a movie theater environment.

THX need not be activated for music, movies made especially for TV, or shows such as sports programming, talk shows, etc.

This is because they were originally mixed for a small room environment.

THX and Select 2 are trademarks of THX Ltd. THX may be registered in some jurisdictions. Surround EX is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Used with permission.

THX Surround EX—Dolby DIgital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and THX Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

Movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com. A list of available DVD software titles encoded with this technology an be found at www.thx.com.
