Matrix decoding is an audio technology where a small number of discrete audio channels (e.g., 2) are decoded into a larger number of channels on play back (e.g., 5). The channels are generally, but not always, arranged for transmission or recording by an encoder, and decoded for playback by a decoder.
Over HDMI 1.1 (or higher) connections as 6-, 7-, or 8-channel linear PCM, using the player's decoder and the AV receiver's DAC. Over HDMI 1.3 (or higher) connections as the original DTS-HD Master Audio bitstream, with decoding and DAC both done by the AV receiver. (This is the transport mode required for DTS:X playback.)
Surround sound is a technique for enriching the fidelity and depth of sound reproduction by using multiple audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels). Its first application was in movie theaters .
It allows sending up to 1080p HD video (H.264 codec) and 5.1 surround sound (AAC and AC3 are optional codecs, mandated codec is linear pulse-code modulation – 16 bits 48 kHz 2 channels). [14] The connection is created via WPS and therefore is secured with WPA2. IPv4 is used on the Internet layer. On the transport layer, TCP or UDP are used.
Stereo receiver: Combines a preamplifier, amplifier, and often a tuner into one unit. Receivers often have built-in support for streaming services and multi-room audio. AV receiver: Also known as a home theater receiver, connects to a TV and decodes multiple audio channels to power a multi-speaker surround sound system.
Ambisonics is a full-sphere surround sound format: in addition to the horizontal plane, it covers sound sources above and below the listener. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Unlike some other multichannel surround formats, its transmission channels do not carry speaker signals.
The Harman Kardon AVR 245 audio/video receiver is the large unit on the bottom. On top of it is a Harman/Kardon DVD player and Samsung set-top box.. An audio/video receiver (AVR) or a stereo receiver is a consumer electronics component used in a home theater or hi-fi system.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Laboratories.It expands on existing surround sound systems by adding height channels, interpreted as three-dimensional objects with neither horizontal nor vertical limitations.
