FOUR CHANNEL COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO

About of FOUR CHANNEL COMPACT DISC DIGITAL AUDIO









SoundStage! Surrounded! - Roundup of Universal Audio Players (12/2002)

  • Surrounded! Back Issue Article December 2002 Roundup of Universal Audio Players A universal audio player is a machine that will play four distinct music-delivery formats: DVD-Video (which can be used for audio only), DVD-Audio, SACD, and compact disc.
  • . You can think of the universal audio player as, first and foremost, a DVD player.
  • . The universal audio player will have a digital output for the audio signal that will interface with the digital input on a receiver or A/V processor (or digital-to-analog converter for pure two-channel audio).
  • . All this is standard operating procedure for DVD, and is carried over to universal audio players.
  • . The differences come in when playing back multichannel DVD-Audio and SACD.
  • . The six-channel analog outputs will carry DVD-Audio, SACD, and an internally decoded Dolby Digital or DTS signal.
  • . Note on the Dolby Digital and DTS signal via the six-channel outputs: Most older DVD players relied exclusively on external decoders for this function, but universal audio players have internal decoding.

    Digital Audio at the National Library of Canada
  • Digital Audio at the National Library of Canada Gilles St-Laurent Network Notes #49 ISSN 1201-4338 Music Division National Library of Canada August 8, 1997 1.
  • . Digital audio technology has profoundly affected communications and has revolutionized the art and science of recording and manipulating sound.
  • . The National Library is fortunate to have state-of-the-art digital audio processing equipment -- technology which has greatly influenced day-to-day conservation and document delivery activities.
  • . Digitizing Audio Sound is created by a vibrating surface (string, reed, drum skin, etc.) which produces sound waves of compressing and decompressing air.
  • . 2.1 Sampling Rate The accuracy (the resolution) of sound reproduction in digital audio is determined by two factors: sampling rate and digital word length.
  • . In a digital audio system, these measurements would be expressed in numbers (words) composed of a series of bits.
  • . An important consideration when digitizing audio is that the converter can "measure" up to a certain maximum voltage only, regardless of the number of bits used.

  • . Tech Tip 67 - High Resolution Audio Article by Roy Davis.
  • . Audio, be it for music, music videos or movies, can benefit from high-resolution also.
  • . Digital audio has higher or lower resolution too, though the difference is a little harder to explain.
  • . We’ll go though it here and soon you’ll be the expert on high-resolution audio in your crowd 1.
  • . Audio Before Digital The old analog audio recording industry was full of different formats with all different sizes of discs and recording speeds of 33 1/3, 45 and 78 RPM.
  • . Audiotape came in reel-to-reel, 8-track and audiocassette, again with different recording speeds and an alphabet soup of noise reduction schemes like Dolby-A, B, C, S and HX Pro.
  • . Digital audio avoids all this, but of course there are other issues to deal with.
  • . Compact Disc, the Audio Standard Researchers at Philips had been working with optical discs for recording movies for some time when they shifted their attention to an audio-only disc.


    Audio Terminology
  • Audio Terminology B elow are the definitions to various audio related words and phrases.
  • . Audio : A term used to describe sounds within the range of human hearing.
  • . The audio bandwidth of human hearing has traditionally been defined as 20Hz to 20kHz.
  • . It is traditionally regarded as the best way to maintain rotational speed stability at audio frequencies.
  • . Cassette : Audio cassette or analogue cassette.
  • . Cassette deck : The machine required to play and/or record onto an audio cassette.
  • . An offshoot technology from CD, developed by Philips as an educational and entertainment format providing interactive still and moving pictures and audio sound.
  • . CD-ROM : Compact Disc Read Only Memory is an audio/video offshoot technology from CD.
  • . Coloration : A term used to describe the added color or artificial character superimposed on the pure, true sound of an audio signal as it is reproduced by hi-fi components.
  • . Compact Disc : The first commercially available digital audio playback format.


    CD-DA
  • Compact Disc - Digital Audio Someone wrote to me with questions about commercial CDs (technically, Compact Disc - Digital Audio or CD-DA).
  • . The red book specifies that an audio CD may carry the CD logo if and only if it complies with the specification.
  • . A continuous stream of audio bits organized in a particular way with a Table of Contents (TOC) indicating the start of each "track" in a particular fashion.
  • . The audio stream uses Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) which is equivalent to a reordering of a WAV or AIFF file minus any header or footer.
  • . Each sample consists of two channels of audio.
  • . What about higher sample rates? 44.1 ksps provides audio response beyond 22 kHz, therefore beyond the capability of ordinary playback equipment to reproduce or most users to hear as pure tones.
  • . However, mastering and some audio sources justified still higher rates and has led to standards beyond that of CD-DA such as 96 and 192 ksps.
  • . Among the many options for DVD-Audio, more bits per sample are supported.


    Sound Academy
  • Glossary | AC-3 The first name for the Dolby Digital sound format, short for Audio Coding revision 3, the system used to encode and decode Dolby Digital soundtracks.
  • . A/V Audio / Visual.
  • . Bitstream processes single bits of information rapidly one after another to create a smooth flowing audio signal.
  • . CD-Extra (CD-X) An audio CD containing additional extra multi-media information that can be read be a Personal Computer's CD-ROM drive.
  • . Decoder A component that contains hardware for decoding an audio signal such as Dolby Digital and Pro-Logic.
  • . Discrete Used in Home Cinema to describe separate digital audio surround channels - Dolby Digital has 5.1 discrete channels of audio.
  • . Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is cinema sound format using five separate channels of digital audio and five speakers plus a dedicated sub-woofer channel to create detailed and accurate surround sound.
  • . Dolby HX Pro A system that allows higher frequencies to be recorded onto tape cassette allowing more audio information and therefore a more detailed sound.

    Dolby Digital
  • . When a Dolby Surround soundtrack is produced, four channels of audio information, left, centre, right, and surround, are encoded onto two audio tracks using equipment manufactured by Dolby Laboratories.
  • . This advanced approach to handling the digital audio data is what makes it possible for Dolby Digital soundtracks to be added to DVD discs, and to a whole host of other sources.


    Stone Sound Control Manual
  • . The previous system had a maximum of six amplified channels of audio, two of these controllable via auxiliary potentiometers.
  • . Only our audio amplifiers were considered professional gear.
  • . The new design allows the user to compose and playback audio and music from one or more of several approaches.
  • . Additionally, we have expanded our original six channels of audio to twelve channels of amplified audio.
  • . These devices can then be “mixed” using our twenty-four-channel console and routed to one or more of our twelve amplified channels of audio.
  • . The second application allows the user to use the Richmond Sound Design Audio Box 1616 for audio playback.
  • . This device represents the more recent trends in audio.
  • . The third approach uses the PowerMac G4 Digital Audio Workstation as a playback device.
  • . The sound designer can use Digital Performer and other audio software to assign audio files to one or more of the 828’s outputs.
  • . The outputs can then be connected with an eight channel audio snake to eight inputs on the board and assigned to separate speakers.
