Audio Formats & Licenses

DTS:X™

1131

DTS:X is the next-generation audio codec from

DTS that leverages object-based audio to

enable new immersive and interactive audio

experiences. Since DTS:X can automatically adapt the audio to

the existing channels and speaker system, no specific speaker

layout is required. Experience an immersive soundscape with

incredibly rich and life-like audio. The format is backward

compatible with DTS-HD Master Audio, so you can also give

new life to your movie collection.

* DTS:X will be available with future firmware update.

Dialog Control

1131

The feature lets you independently control the volume of

dialog encoded in DTS:X—a useful feature for people hard of

hearing, or for late-night movie viewing.

Dolby Atmos

1131

Dolby Atmos is a unique technology for enjoying the

latest surround sound. In a movie cinema, overhead

speakers are placed, with a multi-layer approach to

the sound design. On top of the conventional

channel-based soundtrack, object-oriented mixing is used to

layer dynamic sound elements, so regardless of the cinema's

speaker setup, independent sound elements can move around

freely in a three-dimensional space. Compared to Dolby Digital

with discrete channels, Dolby Atmos offers seamless surround

sound movement with up to 64 separate speaker output and a

sense of height created by the overhead speakers. The sound is

completely in sync with the screen view, providing total

immersion with unprecedented sound localisation and

movement.

This cinema sound experience can be reproduced in your home

with Pioneer's Dolby Atmos AV receiver, which not only decodes

Dolby Atmos, but also reproduces Dolby Atmos in an ideal

sound stage.

DTS Neural:X™

1131

DTS Neural:X is the latest down/up-mixing and spatial

remapping technology built into DTS:X. It provides an up-mix of

Neural:X encoded and non-encoded (PCM) data and can produce

up to 11.x channels, letting you enjoy a more realistic

atmosphere regardless of the original audio format.

* DTS Neural:X will be available with future firmware update.

Dolby Surround

1131

The new surround sound effectively up-mixes legacy channel-

based content for reproduction on a Dolby Atmos environment,

expanding the original source to fill the speaker layout of a

Dolby Atmos system.
