Film sound as the starting point for Dolby Digital has enabled the accumulation of invaluable experience in mixing, recording, and distributing multichannel digital audio, and has fostered a library of program material immediately available for consumer release. The consumer equivalent of Dolby Digital film sound is the final link from multichannel program producer to home listener. Like film, it provides separate channels for left, right, and center speakers at the front; two surround speakers at the sides; and a low-frequency effects channel that can be fed to a subwoofer at the listener’s option. Unlike analog Dolby Surround with its single band-limited surround channel (usually played over two speakers), Dolby Digital features two completely independent surround channels, each offering the same full range fidelity as the three front channels. As a result, true stereo surround effects can be achieved for an expanded sense of depth, localization, and overall realism. Dolby Digital also incorporates special features to satisfy listeners using anything from small, mono products up through full home theaters. While the same multichannel audio is delivered to every system, the decoder can optimize the sound for the particular circumstances. For example, decoders can provide optimium downmixes from multichannel programming, such as a matrix-encoded two-track mix for analog Dolby Surround decoding, a conventional stereo mix, or even mono. In addition, the system can apply dynamic compression to preserve low level content and prevent dramatic passages from getting too loud when it’s necessary to keep the overall playback volume low. What’s more, the listener can program the Dolby Digital decoder to route non-directional low bass only to those channels in the system which have wide-range speakers or subwoofers.
