Master 5.1 Surround Soundtracks Like a Pro

More Creative Movies, More Engaging Photos

Imagine that you're on the streets of Paris, capturing the scene with your camcorder. The colorful window displays enchant you. The vibrant farmer's market absorbs you. But what about the sounds of the city that surround you? Aren't they just as much a part of the experience as the sights? Well, now you can capture that distinct blend of sounds too, because Dolby® Digital 5.1 Creator records rich, enveloping 5.1-channel surround sound. As a result, your movies will be more engaging than ever before.

Say you want to add a running commentary from behind the camera as you're shooting. With Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator your camcorder's rear audio channels pick up your voice, as well as ambient sounds, while the front channels capture what's before the lens. Play back your movies in 5.1 surround, and you'll be amazed by the depth and realism you experience. Your running commentary will emanate from the rear speakers while the action onscreen will sound more realistic and engaging than you ever thought possible from a camcorder. It's like adding the magic of a Hollywood production to your own home movies.

With Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator even your digital camera can capture high-quality live audio to accompany your full-motion video, adding a captivating new dimension to your recordings. When you're ready to archive your photos on DVD, Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator, in conjunction with a mixing and editing suite on your PC, lets you author a soundtrack to accompany them. So instead of just viewing photos, your friends and family will be engaged by the images and your commentary.

Professional Editing Tools

With Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator on your personal computer, you settle into the director's chair. Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator puts the same authoring tool in your hands that the pros use, so you can turn on your PC and create compelling movies and soundtracks. Pull material from the raw audio and video you've captured, as well as 5.1-channel productions and other sources—even audio you produce yourself on your PC—and edit it to perfection. Then master it all in incredible Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound.

Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator's highly sophisticated coding technology is so efficient that it also saves you a tremendous amount of disc space when used in place of stereo PCM recording. That means you can deliver a sharper image or fit more of your favorite entertainment on every DVD, with all of the integrity of the original recording—and always with crystal-clear Dolby Digital surround sound. And the DVDs you author with Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator will work on just about any DVD or Blu-ray Disc™ player because they also use Dolby Digital technology, a worldwide standard for DVDs.

Look for Dolby Digital 5.1 Creator in camcorders, digital still cameras, PCs, and DVD recorders. Then get ready to make your pictures and movies more exciting and engaging than you ever thought possible.
