DTS Neural Surround™ Up/DownMix and MultiMerge, and DTS Neural Loudness Control
The APM6801+ module offers a simple, streamlined solution for managing today’s advanced audio processing. Made for the industry-favorite 6800+™ core processing platform, these modules enable easy implementation of advanced audio capabilities in your broadcast facility.
Ten versions of the market-leading DTS Neural Surround™ UpMix, DownMix, MultiMerge and DTS Neural Loudness Control solutions — all designed to provide a more consistent, high-quality audio experience for the television viewer.
With the patented UpMix technology, any two-channel audio source can be rendered as surround sound, while the DownMix enables the transport of 5.1 surround sound through any stereo infrastructure. Regardless of the type of audio signal provided at the input, the MultiMerge option has the unique ability to always offer a 5.1 mix. And DTS Neural Loudness Control offers a solution to the problem every TV broadcaster and network operator faces in managing perceived loudness levels within a desirable volume range.
