GlossaryxCinema Studio EX

A surround sound mode that can be regarded as the compilation of Digital Cinema Sound technology, delivers the sound of a dubbing theatre using three technologies: “Virtual Multi Dimensions”, “Screen Depth Matching”, and “Cinema Studio Reverberation”.

“Virtual Multi Dimensions”, the virtual speaker technology, creates a virtual multi- surround environment with actual speakers up to 7.1 channels, and brings the surround sound experience of a theatre with the latest facilities into your home.

“Screen Depth Matching” reproduces treble attenuation, fullness, and depth of sound usually created in a theatre using sound emission from behind the screen. This is then added to the front and center channels. “Cinema Studio Reverberation” reproduces the sound characteristics of state-of-the-art dubbing theatres and recording studios, including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s dubbing studios. There are three modes, A/B/ C, available according to the studio type.
