| DTS, Inc. launches a variation of of its HD codec named DTS-HD Master Audio Essential Thursday, November 13, 2008 DTS-HD Master Audio | Essential DTS, Inc. launches DTS-HD Master Audio Essential for Blu-ray, which provides the same quality high-end sound that consumers have come to expect from DTS-HD Master Audio. The main difference between DTS-HD Master Audio Essential and DTS-HD Master Audio is that Essential does not support DTS Neo:6. For standard-def DVD only, DTS-HD Master Audio Essential products do not currently support DTS | 96 /24, ES, ES Matrix, and Neo: 6. However, DTS’ backwards compatibility for content playback, makes it possible for you to automatically enjoy your standard-def DVD entertainment experience with DTS Digital Surround. DTS Digital Surround offers over twice the resolution of other standard-def DVD formats. If you desire to playback the full DTS technology feature set with a DTS Master Audio Essential player for either high-def or standard-def content, you can simply change the audio setup mode in your player to stream out over HDMI and let your DTS-HD Master Audio receiver decode the DTS | 96 /24, ES, ES Matrix, and Neo: 6. Please reference your player user manual for details on audio setup. |
Is it just me or this another product that seems to have only one reason for it's existence, ie. to further confuse an already confused consumer. As if there was a dearth of absolutely redundant codecs, DTS adds to the list of other such codecs, such as Dolby Digital +, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio.
