Basic knowledge of surround sound What is Surround Sound? What is a Digital Sound Projector? Surround sound offers the sense of being surrounded by sounds, an experience common in concert halls and movie theaters. This can be achieved by surrounding the audience with numerous speakers from which sound is output uniformly in all directions.
Glossary Audio/video information Sampling Frequency and Bit Depth Dolby TrueHD These are values that represent the amount of information used to convert analog signals to digital signals. They may be expressed as 48kHz/24bit, for example. This advanced lossless audio technology was developed by Dolby Laboratories for high-definition disc-based media to deliver sounds that are identical, bit for bit, to studio masters for a great home theater experience.
Network information SSID SSID (Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a particular wireless LAN access point. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows an electronic device to exchange data or connect to the Internet wirelessly using radio waves. Wi-Fi offers the advantage of eliminating the complexity of making connections with network cables by using wireless connection.
