• Cinema Studio EX
A surround sound mode that can be regarded
as the compilation
of
Digital
Cinema
Sound
technology, delivers the sound
of
a dubbing
theater using three technologies: "Virtual
Multi Dimensions," "Screen Depth Matching,"
and
"Cinema
Studio Reverberation."
"Virtual Multi Dimensions," the virtual
speaker technology, creates a virtual multi-
surround environment with actual speakers up
to
7.1
channels, and brings the surround sound
experience
of
a theater with the latest faci lities
into your home.
"Screen Depth Matching" reproduces treble
attenuation, fullness, and depth
of
sound
usually created
in
a theater using sound
emission from behind the screen. This
is
then
added to the front and center channels.
"Cinema
Studio Reverberation" reproduces
the sound characteristics
of
statc-of-the-art
dubbing theaters and recording studios,
including Sony Pictures Entertainment's
dubbing studios.
There
are three modes, A/B/
C, available according to the studio type.
• Component video
A format for transmitting video signal
information consisting
of
three separate
signals: luminance
Y,
chrominance Pb, and
chrominance
PI'.
High quality pictures, such as
DVD video
or
HDTV pictures, are transmitted
more faithfully.
The
three
jacks
are color-
coded green, blue, and red.
• Composite video
A standard format for transmitting video
signal information.
The
luminance signal Y
and chrominance signal C are
combined
and
transmitted together.
• Crossover frequency
The
frequency at which two speaker's
frequencies intersect.
• DeepColor
Video signals for which the color depth
of
signals passing through an HDMI
jack
have
been raised.
The
number
of
colors that could be expressed
by I pixel was 24 bits (16,777,216colors) with
the current HDMI jack. However, the number
of
colors which can be expressed by I pixel
will be 36, etc., bits when the receiver
corrcsponds to DeepColor.
Since the gradation
of
the depth
of
a color can
be expressed more finely with more bits,
continuous
color
changes can be more
smoothly expressed.
• Digital Cinema Sound
(DCS>.
Unique sound reproduction technology lor
home theater developed by Sony, in
cooperation with Sony Pictures Entertainment,
for enjoying the exciting and powerful sound
of
movie thcaters at homc. With this "Digital
Cincma
Sound"
developed by intcgrating a
DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) and measured
data, the ideal sound Iield intended
by
Iilmmakers can be experienced at home.
• Digital Concert Hall
"Digital Concert Hall" delivers richcr sound
for 2ch sterco sources such as CDs, etc. With
the use
of
5.lch
or
7.lch
speakers and virtual
speaker technology, stereoscopic
reverberation and rellected sound are
reproduced, and music software can be
enjoyed with richer sound and presence.
The
sound lield
in
a concert hall is recreated by a
geometrical analysis
of
the concert hall and
precise modeling
of
reflected and reverberant
sounds based on actual measured data. Tonal
qualities such as sound strength and frequency
response are taken into account and calculated
on the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to bring
reverberation in. Sound
is
enjoyed with natural
and comfortable rcsonance, as
if
listening to
music
in
a concert hall.
