Taking Surround to New Heights
Dolby Pro Logic IIz introduces a new dimension to home entertainment through the addition of a pair of front height channels. Compatible with stereo, 5.1-, and 7.1-channel content, Dolby Pro Logic IIz provides enhanced spaciousness, depth, and dimension to movies, concert videos, and video game playback while maintaining the full integrity of the source mix.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz works with existing soundtracks, identifying and extracting spatial cues that occur naturally in the mix. Additionally, it offers content creators the opportunity to encode specific height information for even more dramatic effects or sense of space. The front height speakers can be an ideal alternative for the back surround speakers in a 7.1-channel system, or they can be added to a 7.1 system to create a 9.1-channel ultimate surround sound setup.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Benefits
Realistic and involving surround sound from any music, movie, or video game source
Dramatic alternative listening perspective for installations that can't accommodate back surround speakers
Functions with original stereo or multichannel sources
Allows for simplified speaker positioning and wiring
Unlike other solutions, Dolby Pro Logic IIz does not employ digital signal processing (DSP) to artificially model a room environment or create ambient sound effects. Instead, Dolby Pro Logic IIz identifies nondirectional, decorrelated signals naturally present in the mix (such as some audio elements in wind noise, musical scores, and other ambient sounds) and extracts them for presentation in the height channels.
