Glossary
Dolby Digital (ATSC A/52) is
the digital multichannel audio
format created by Dolby Labo-
ratories. It was developed for
efciently storing lm sound with up to 5.1 sound
channels. The data is compressed using psychoa-
coustic processes and transferred in a single data
ow. The format supports various data rates. The
format also has options for automatic adjustment
of volume differences (dynamic compression) and
also the possibility of allowing playback via a two-
channel speaker system using stereo downmix.
Dolby Virtual Speaker simulates the surround
sound playback provided by ve speakers and an
LFE effect channel in systems using a two-channel
speaker combination. In contrast to stereo down-
mix by Dolby Digital, which only places the missing
channel information of 5.1 audio material in the
existing speakers, the Dolby Virtual Speaker pro-
cedure uses psychoacoustic room modelling to
create pseudo-sound sources that suggest the
existence of speakers in the appropriate room po-
sitions.
MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer 3) is a wide-
ly used digital data format for
saving audio data (mono/two-
channel stereo) in a compressed
form using psychoacoustic processes. MP3 les
may exist in various – and sometimes variable – bit
rates, which can have a direct inuence on play-
back quality.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is
a widely used serial, digital in-
terface protocol. A USB host ap-
pliance can request data from terminals and also
transmit data to them.
