With Dolby(R) Digital Live technology, you can now enjoy audio from your PC or
game console through your home theater. A real-time encoding technology, Dolby
Digital Live converts any audio signal into a Dolby Digital bitstream for
transport and playback through a home theater system. With it, your PC or game
console can be hooked up to your Dolby Digital-equipped audio/video receiver
or digital speaker system via a single digital connection, eliminating the
confusion of multiple cables and ensuring the integrity of the audio signal.
The real-time interactive capabilities of Dolby Digital Live technology are
ideally suited to PCs and video game consoles because it reproduces audio cues
and effects that follow the on-screen action, transforming gameplay into an
exciting and realistic entertainment experience.
Systems using Dolby Digital Live technology can provide Dolby Digital
(5.1-channel surround sound) during gameplay, immersing players in
high-quality surround sound that puts them at the center of the action. Gamers
hear every window shatter, feel every explosion, and experience every wipeout.
Dolby Digital Live technology is integrated into the motherboard audio
chipsets of many high-performance PCs. These PCs provide an S/PDIF connector
and use a digital cable for one-step connection to a home theater system.
Dolby Digital Live can also enable other future entertainment capabilities
on the PC because of its ability to deliver any audio source via a single
digital interface to an existing home theater system.
