Topic: Dolby Digital EX


  
  Digital Television to the Max - Digital Audio Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Dolby Digital (formerly called AC-3) compresses up to 5 discrete full bandwidth audio channels and 1 low frequency effects (LFE) channel (referred to as the 0.1 channel) down to a relatively low bit rate data channel (e.g., 384 Kbps or higher).
Building upon the Dolby Digital baseline, THX was established by Lucasfilms (but is no longer owned by Lucasfilms) primarily as a series of specifications, testing procedures and processes to ensure the quality and consistency of movie soundtrack recording and playback.
However, for consumer use Dolby Digital generally is encoded at a somewhat higher data rate than for theatrical use and DTS is generally encoded at a substantially lower data rate than for the theatrical version.

 A Listener's Guide to Dolby Digital EX
Dolby Digital Surround EX adds to Dolby Digital 5.1 movie soundtracks a third surround channel, reproduced by speakers positioned directly behind the audience.
Although Dolby Digital EX decoding is intended for soundtracks that have been Surround EX encoded, you may find that some regular 5.1-channel soundtracks sound quite good with EX decoding switched on.
For Dolby Digital EX playback, as with regular 5.1 playback, place the left and right surround speakers to the sides of, or slightly behind, your listening position.

Dolby EX works the same way as Dolby Digital (formerly known as AC-3), being a digital audio coding format designed to reduce high quality sound data size.
Dolby EX uses surround sound 6.1 technology to produce stunning sound, using the extra surround channel to further enhance listening pleasure.
Developed from theatres, Dolby EX uses the additional satellite speaker at the rear-center of the audience, in between the surround left and surround right speakers, completing the 6.1 surround sound setup.

 what is dolby digital ex - Digital   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
A digital system is one that uses discrete values rather than a continuous spectrum of values: compare analog.
The word comes from the same source as the word digit: the Latin word for finger (counting on the fingers) as these are used for discrete counting.
In a digital signal, these variances can be overcome, as any signal close to a particular value will be interpreted as that value.

Jointly developed by Dolby Laboratories and Lucasfilm THX, the EX format made its theatre debut in 1999 with the release of Star Wars Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace.
The EX format adds a rear-centre audio channel, known as 'surround-back' matrixed within the normal Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack.
Using non-EX decoding, the sound is presented as Dolby Digital 5.1, while an EX equipped decoder will separate the hidden rear channel in the same way that a Dolby Pro-Logic decoder separates the centre channel from a stereo Dolby Surround recording.
