Source Formats
Source Formats refer to how audio material is embedded on the digital program.
Blu‑ray and streaming content from such providers as Netflix, Hulu, and others, provide
multi‑channel audio tracks. While digital audio components and analog are converted to
2‑channel PCM audio. The following formats from the two leading theater‑surround formats
come from Dolby Laboratories and DTS. Here is a list of different formats and what you can
expect from them.
