-Denon and Pioneer A/V Receivers Boost Audio Resolution for DVD-Video |
| NORWOOD, Mass., Dec. 5
/PRNewswire/ -- Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI) announced today the industry's first
digital audio decoder for DTS® 96/24, the new 5.1-channel high-resolution audio format
for DVD-Video from DTS. Analog Devices' Melody(TM) DTS 96/24 decoder enables installed
DVD-Video players to deliver multi-channel sound at a 96 kHz sampling rate and 24-bit word
length, along with full-motion video. When encoded in the video zone of DVD-Audio discs,
DTS 96/24 delivers 96/24 audio resolution on any existing DVD-Video player, eliminating
the need for a separate DVD-Audio player. DTS 96/24 soundtracks, on either DVD-Video or
DVD-Audio, are fully backward compatible with existing DTS decoders, which will read and
output a 48 kHz signal. The Melody DTS 96/24 decoder has been certified by DTS and currently designed into new high performance A/V receivers from Denon (Model AVR-4802 and AVC-A11SR, which also uses Analog Devices' AD1854K 96 kHz, 24-bit DACs) and Pioneer (Models VSX-49TX and VSX-47TX). The SHARC® DSP-based decoder additionally decodes DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 in each of these A/V receiver models. ``Analog Devices' technology is helping Denon and Pioneer deliver the surround sound performance that our DTS 96/24 audio format now makes possible, including a more refined audio listening experience than their customers have previously enjoyed from DVD-Video,'' said Jon Kirchner, DTS President and COO. ``The Melody DTS 96/24 decoder joins our family of Melody Floating-Point DTS Extended Surround decoders in delivering high-resolution digital audio,'' said Mike Haidar, product line director, software & systems technology, DSP and System Products Division, Analog Devices, Inc. Price and Availability Analog Devices' Melody DTS 96/24 decoder can be ordered under part number ADSST-PEGASUS-SDK for an evaluation board with an evaluation copy of the software and schematics. This evaluation board is priced at $1,250. in single quantities and is currently shipping.
