There are a few technologies available in sound systems these days but one in particular seems to be remembered the most, Dolby Digital. When we go to the movies we are exposed to a pre movie advertisement for this technology with an impressive display of it's capabilities. The "Dolby Digital Surround Sound" system can be found in nearly all new sound equipment which includes DVD's and TV's that are bought from electrical stores, so it is no wonder the average consumer is familiar with the Dolby logo.
The Dolby Digital title refers to the digital enhancement of sending and receiving audio signals for audio equipment. As they were one of the predecessors of this type of technology and also being marketed well, the system is now widely accepted as being the leader in the field and ensuring it's wide spread use in most audio systems.
The Dolby Digital technology can support either a single channel or several channels so that audio can be broadcast either with stereo or monophonic qualities. It is used mainly with digital devices (DVD player, CD player, digital TV, movie theaters, etc.) and there is a special type of Dolby Digital technology that can be used to enhance your gaming experiences in a more realistic way.
The Dolby technology started out about 50 years ago by a man named Ray Dolby. His idea was to reduce the white noise and static that occurred on many sound sources, such as tapes. The white noise on many sources is characterized by static-like noises that take away from the clarity of the audio. This technology began to be used by record companies, but quickly moved on to be used in movies and theaters.
From there, the Dolby Digital technology came about. It was a more compressed format of sound that was best experienced in a movie theater. In 1992, Batman Returns was the first movie to be broadcast at a movie theater using the Dolby Digital technology. It combined a stereo sound (right and left channels) with a more crisp sound. The technology became popular and spread to thousands of movie theaters in a very short time.
Improvements to the Dolby Digital system continues ensuring the future of the technology for many years to come. Many would have to agree that their viewing experience has improved due to this invention. The expansion from the theater to the home has made the sound system in the family home change to a level that reflects the experience found in the theater. Because most domestic electronic equipment has this technology inbuilt the average person can enjoy a most pleasant and stimulating viewing experience.
