“The consumer electronics industry continues to demand the highest quality surround sound in home theater systems,” said Brian Towne, senior vice president and general manager, DTS. “With TI’s DSP-based A/V receivers that are DTS-HD certified, consumers will now have unprecedented audio that matches high-definition video images for a truly all-encompassing HD home theater experience.”
Cost-Effective Performance Decoding the highest quality DTS-HD master audio streams, eight channel/192kHz lossless audio and all essential post-processing can be handled on a single DA7xx DSP. By supporting DTS-HD master audio in a cost-effective, single-chip solution, manufacturers can incorporate crisper, fuller and more dynamic audio quality into lower-priced home theater systems. TI integrated the new DTS-HD audio decoders into the existing DA7xx software solution and system framework, allowing manufacturers to get DTS-HD products to market quickly without any compatibility problems.
TI’s audio framework enables original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to easily plug in differentiating post-processing modules from TI or TI third parties, including Audyssey MultEQ XT, Neural-THX Surround, SRS Circle Surround II and THX Ultra 2.
