Get 7.1 Surround Sound with Dolby Digital Plus

Hey there my fantastic followers, I hope you are all well and enjoying yourselves where ever you may be.

As for the Maxman I’m just doing “Sparkalicious” if you know what I mean, if you don’t, don’t worry about it cause sometimes I don’t have a clue what I mean.

Stuff seems to come out of my mouth at alarming rates sometimes and although I always mean well I guess I can come across as a little hyperactive.

Nothing but good energy though folks. OK?

So today I want to continue on with the surround sound format journey we’ve been on lately and we are gonna start off with Dolby Digital Plus.

So as you may have figured out for your self already Dolby Digital Plus is the next step up from Dolby Digital. Yes folks the people at Dolby labs have kicked it up another notch once again.

Dolby Digital Plus was designed to take us into the high definition era (which we are currently becoming more and more aware of each day) of programming and media with the flexibility to keep up with broadcasting demands of the future but also to give us the consumer the best high def audio experience possible.

Its capabilities are far superior to Dolby Digital in that it does everything that Dolby Digital can do and then some. It can deliver digital audio to up to 7.1 channels and beyond if needed.

Originally designed for HD DVD it is also compatible with the Blu-ray disc format (the successful victor in the HD format war).

Some Features

• It can output a Dolby Digital bitstream for playback on existing Dolby Digital systems.
• It will support data rates up to and including 6 Mbps.
• It has a bit rate performance of 3 Mbps on HD DVD (if you still have HD DVD) and 1.7 Mbps on Blu-ray Disc.
• Without a doubt it will accurately reproduce what the director and producer originally intended.
• Interactive mixing and streaming capability in advanced systems.
• Will also support HDMI, the single-cable digital connection for high-def audio and video applications.

Maxman Notes

There are some other benefits worth pointing out,

1. It is compatible with multiple languages.
2. Gives audio professionals new creative power and freedom.
3. Can be used with all home entertainment systems currently equipped with Dolby Digital.
4. There is no loss of quality in the conversion process (going from Dolby Digital to DD Plus).
5. Maintains high quality at more efficient broadcast bit rates (200 kbps for 5.1-channel audio).
6. Dolby Digital Plus has been given the stamp of approval by Advanced Television Systems Committee as the standard for future broadcast applications; named as an option by the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) Project for satellite and cable TV, yes folks that means it is compatible with your satellite and cable TV systems also.
