DTS Neural Surround™ DownMix

By transforming signal sources, intensity, time, coherence, polarity and phase into pure intensity and coherence before the six channels are combined, the DownMix amelio-rates problems suffered in traditional matrix encode systems (comb filtering, spatial distortion, etc). This proprietary DTS Neural Surround™ process, or watermark, guarantees that surround information is faithfully reproduced when later rendered by the UpMix and is backwards-compatible with Dolby® ProLogic II®. The stereo mix can be monitored, mixed, stored, edited and played back using a stereo audio infrastructure. In brief, the DownMix produces a stereo DownMix that accurately represents the original content, whether monitored in mono, stereo, matrix or Neural 5.1 Surround Sound.

There is a plug-in option available for adding the DownMix to the NEO® XHD-3903. The AES option for the XHD-3903 is required. Click here for more information on the XHD-3903.

The 6800+ platform includes the all-in-one APM6803+ Multichannel Audio Processing Station for AES and embedded audio processing. A range of single function modules is also available with the APM6801+ series.

There is a plug-in option available for adding the DownMix to the X85™ processors.

The Selenio™ Media Convergence Platform supports DTS Neural Surround™ DownMix as well.

Versions are available (see ordering information) for applications where DownMix and Loudness Control are required.

1. When a 5.1 mix requires loudness control with a 2.0 downmix for simultaneous 5.1 and 2.0 output.
2. 
   
3. When a downmix is required with loudness control – 5.1 mixes have a very wide dynamic range that requires loudness control for the stereo 2.0 downmix.

Commonly used in: production studios, audio monitoring, DTV facilities.
