About DCS (Digital Cinema
Sound)
In collaboration with Sony Pictures
Entertainment, Sony measured the sound
environment of their studios and integrated the
data of the measurement and the Sony DSP
(Digital Signal Processor) technology to
develop “Digital Cinema Sound.” “Digital
Cinema Sound” simulates in a home theater an
ideal movie theater sound environment based on
the preference of the movie director.
About Cinema Studio EX
Cinema Studio EX is ideal for enjoying movie
software encoded with multi channel format,
such as the Dolby Digital DVD. This mode
reproduces the sound characteristics of Sony
Pictures Entertainment’s studios.
Cinema Studio EX consists of the following
three elements.
Virtual Multi Dimension
The system creates five sets of virtual speakers
surrounding the listener from a single pair of
actual surround speakers.
Screen Depth Matching
In a movie theater, sound seems to come from
inside the image reflected on the movie screen.
This element creates the same sensation in
your listening room by shifting the sound of
the front speakers “into” the screen.
Cinema Studio Reverberation
The system reproduces the reverberations
peculiar to a movie theater.
Cinema Studio EX is the integrated mode which
operates these elements simultaneously.
