DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.0: A Comprehensive Review of Features and Benefits

sherrievaubel3724r


DTS-HD Master Audio (DTS-HD MA; known as DTS++ before 2004[1]) is a multi-channel, lossless audio codec developed by DTS as an extension of the lossy DTS Coherent Acoustics codec (DTS CA; usually itself referred to as just DTS). Rather than being an entirely new coding mechanism, DTS-HD MA encodes an audio master in lossy DTS first, then stores a concurrent stream of supplementary data representing whatever the DTS encoder discarded. This gives DTS-HD MA a lossy "core" able to be played back by devices that cannot decode the more complex lossless audio. DTS-HD MA's primary application is audio storage and playback for Blu-ray Disc media; it competes in this respect with Dolby TrueHD, another lossless surround format. DTS-HD MA has enjoyed the greater share of this market since 2010,[2] with the notable exception of the TrueHD-encoded Dolby Atmos spatial surround format, which is more popular than DTS's competing DTS:X (encoded with DTS-HD MA).




DTS-HD Master Audio Suite v2.0




DTS-HD MA is encoded in three steps. First, the audio master is fed to a DTS CA encoder, which generates the core (lossy) audio stream. Next, this lossy audio is decoded and compared to the master, with "residual" data being recorded wherever the two differ. Finally, the residual data is compressed losslessly and merged with the core into one bitstream. A DTS-HD MA decoder simply performs this process in reverse.[8]


Current HD remastered prints of Super Why! will be mixed and recorded in DTS-HD Master Audio for multi-dimensional 5.1 surround sound. The audio is made up to 6 channels. It will also be available soon for the first time ever in true 1080p High Definition on Blu-ray and Digital HD from PBS Distribution.


DTS-HD Master Audio is an extension of DTS' previous DTS Coherent Acoustics codec. Prior to 2004, it had been known as DTS++. Though it is an optional audio format for Blu-ray Disc format, by 2010, it had become the dominant Blu-ray lossless audio format over its competitor Dolby TrueHD. DTS-HD Master Audio is also the carrier for home delivery of DTS:X. Users can create DTS-HD Master Audio content using the DTS:X encoder suite, or the legacy DTS-HD Master Audio Suite.


Designing systems capable of distributing 4K Ultra High Definition media requires support for the content of today, and headroom for the content of tomorrow. Gefen's EXT-UHD600 Series of splitters take HDMI 2.0 to its highest specification of 4K 60 Hz at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, along with HDR (High Dynamic Range) support. They go beyond the requirements of typical 4K systems, delivering stunning Ultra HD and DCI/Cinema picture up to 4096 x 2160 pixels at 60 frames per second without subsampling color. This ensures that the scene shown on the display is every bit as brilliant as the picture that the camera captured. HDR lets every subtle nuanced gradation of each pixel play out across the screen in immersive clarity. Gefen's EXT-UHD600 product line creates a seamless bridge between the digital media of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Supporting the digital rights management standard for Ultra High Definition content, HDCP 2.2, as well as the legacy HDCP 1.4, Gefen's EXT-UHD600 products can handle the signal routing needs for both existing and new components in commercial and residential AV systems. Highest performance multichannel digital audio including 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) digital audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio are also supported. These splitters have been specifically designed to support multiple layers of cascading** for flawless performance in large video distribution and signage applications, supporting up to hundreds of displays. Gefen's exclusive Long Reach Power (LRP) feature provides 5V at 500 mA (as opposed to HDMI standard 55 mA) on pin 18 of HDMI outputs 1 and 2. This enhanced current capability enables select extender devices to be powered through their HDMI input port without the need for an external power supply. Gefen's EXT-UHD600 product line was designed to work with Gefen's Syner-G software suite. EDID and HDCP management, status monitoring, and firmware updates can be done in minutes using the Gefen Syner-G software. The Gefen EXT-UHD600-12 splitter features a low profile, compact, and surface-mountable enclosure that can fit in tight places. It also accommodates Gefen locking HDMI cables for secure connections.
