display program
CALABASAS, Calif. & HSINCHU, Taiwan--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
DTS,
a global leader in high-definition audio solutions and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Xperi
Corporation (Nasdaq: XPER) (“Xperi”) and MediaTek announced their
collaboration to release the first DTS:X® System-on-Chip
(SoC) solution for TVs in the second half of 2019.
The new DTS:X TV solution is an efficient DTS decoder designed for
single and dual-core TV SoC architectures and is backward compatible
with all DTS-encoded content, including DTS:X and DTS-HD Master Audio
Blu-ray Discs. The technology also features a new, efficient DTS:X
immersive streaming decoder for OTT services and is specified as the IMAX®
Enhanced program immersive streaming codec for 4K IMAX Enhanced movies.
“We’re excited to work with MediaTek to deliver the first DTS:X solution
for TVs on its 4K UHD SoC chipsets,” said Joanna Skrdlant, General
Manager, Home Audio at Xperi. “We successfully launched DTS Virtual:X
for TV together this past year, and we look forward to enabling DTS:X
for TVs with MediaTek in 2019 to deliver a seamless, premium home
entertainment experience for our mutual TV customers.”
“After DTS Virtual:X, we are pleased to work with Xperi again and to
integrate DTS:X technology into MediaTek TV SoC’s,” said Mike Chang,
Corporate Vice President, Head of Smart Home Business Group, MediaTek.
“Together with new DTS:X support, our TV SoC solution with cutting-edge
video and PQ engine will offer a more vivid, immersive viewing and
listening experience for home entertainment.”
Televisions featuring DTS:X are compatible with any DTS content
connected to the TV from HDMI, USB and OTT streaming services. The
solution includes a DTS:X transcoder capable of outputting DTS core over
S/PDIF and ARC (audio return channel) and can output a DTS:X lossless
bitstream via enhanced audio return channel (eARC) to connected devices
such as DTS:X-enabled A/V receivers or sound bars to achieve a seamless
DTS home entertainment ecosystem. The DTS:X solution for TV is a
must-have for the 2020 IMAX Enhanced program, and it has also been
adopted in the Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) spec for Europe. DTS:X for
TV is compatible with the DTS® Virtual:X™ audio
post-processing solution to deliver the best possible audio experience
from immersive content played over a TV’s internal speakers.
