From the beginning of 1992, it has been for the cinema provide multichannel digital audio system and achieved in 1994into the two channel I BS application. It in the cassette and disc type family television system for transmitting multichannel digital sound function has been to the consumer electronics industry with very excited. In the United States, high definition television ( HDTV ) broadcasting the selected Dolby digital surround sound transmission, estimated that in 1996will be put into a test screening.Many have been announced and the potential applications of the technology of test shows, Dolby AC-3decoder has a beautifully versatility. AC-3 is not a single machine system, but a kind of use can make such as bit rate and number of channels such parameters to adapt to different special application flexible procedures for the treatment of familial. Various types of all decoder in order to work on the same principle as the foundation, and designed to take full account of the future need for compatibility and adaptability. Important is, Dolby AC-3will be high quality sound and excellent digital efficiency is very perfect combination. Because of the Dolby Laboratory for more than 20 years focus on human auditory research, in the development of signal processing field has accumulated rich experience, so, although AC-3than in the CD disk to the last channel lower bit rate to create a multi-channel surround sound, however, it makes the sound quality fully meet the listener expectations.Audio : past present and futureIn 30, the famous Baer Laboratories began using the three channel stereo sound. In 50, when the stereo into public movie, it uses the channel in four above, sometimes reaching over seven channels. A few years later, the stereo into families, since all of the phonograph records only with dual channel matching, so the family leave acoustic device only by dual channel playback, the technical limitations, can not the listener will generally two-channel stereo as the home audio selection criteria.But the film makers have channel 1( left, right, center ) and surround channel2as a compelling vivid sound minimum requirements. This can be from 70 time end, eighty time period the film industry widely adopted Dolby stereo to record film confirmed, Dolby stereo is the principle, let four channel matrix coding input two optical sound track, then an appropriate audio processor will restore it into four channels matrix coding reproduction.When Dolby stereo film is converted into audio signals, four channel coding retained the dubbing integrity, from 80 time begin first, Dolby surround has made multiple channel decoding into family time, today, tens of thousands of home audio systems are equipped with Dolby surround sound system, in fact, multi-channel surround sound system sales has been farbeyond the two-channel stereo system sales, at present, Dolby surround sound has been widely used in film, TV and music on CD recording studio, and its accompanying family Dolby surround systems on the market rapid development.With multi-channel audio in consumer electronics in the field of rapid growth, a more advanced technology was born, the technology is born there is nothing comparable to this, it has simulated realistic sound effects, and can satisfy various listening conditions and high demand cannot imagine adaptability, this is Dolby AC-3decoding technology Dolby AC-3 decoder, the successful development and application, is the world's electro-acoustic industry a major achievement.Dolby AC-3In 1987, high-definition television channel in the United States has officially become the standard process, its audio track is used for the first time in the four channel matrix encoding conversion for transmission of digital code stereo. However, by 1990, in order to avoid audio matrix are affected, four mono or stereo combined configuration as the optimal configuration. Due to time technical limitations, such an arrangement would have to increase by at least a bit rate.It is in this context, Dolby AC-3was born. It has the advantage of only two independent stereo more code rates can realize multi-channel audio code. Dolby advanced to the transmission of the code technology, such as Dolby AC-2 decoder for Dolby AC-3's successful development paved the way, but the complexity of multichannel code also need further research, including a new type of bit allocation technique.The Dolby laboratory is established by Rui Milton Dolby. Dr. Dolby was born in 1933 in the United States Portland Oregon City, grew up in the San Francisco Bay area. At the age of 16 he was still in high school, in Ampex company works. The company is the United States 's first production of magnetic tape recording equipment manufacturers. Later, he is responsible for the development of the company developed the world's first practical VCR portion of an electronic circuit.In 1957 Dolby graduated from Stanford University, University of Cambridge, Marshall won the British provided scholarships, study of L-band X light. In 1961 he received a doctor's degree in physics. In 1963, he accepted the UN appointed to India as a two-year consultant.As an amateur recording enthusiasts, Dr. Dolby over the years to recognize on the tape recording audio or video signal when background noise on the recording quality damage. While in India he began thinking seriously about a noise reduction without compromising the recording quality approach. His exploration of these became the Dolby A B noise reduction and noise reduction, noise reduction system based on C.In 1965, returning to England, in London he established his own laboratory in order to carry out in India he thought scheme. Set up in 1968 to" the Dolby lab" named company. Although the company was founded10 years ago, the work of the centre in the UK, but it has been an American company. After 1976, the company's main work moved to San francisco.In 1965, the first Dolby A type noise reducer ( A representing audio Audio ) production out of. The design of the system for a variety of audio noise reduction application, especially can solve the studio recording tape when the tape recorder generated noise. Until 1966, there have beenseveral noise reducing technology available, but they are much to damage the recording quality. So Dr Dolby faced difficulty is how to make the personage inside course of study and potential customers to believe his technique. At that time, multitrack recorder, from the 4 rail, track 8, track 16to 24 track, start the application, when multitrack recording tape audio mixing, the mixing of the two track tape noise level than double direct recording of the master tape is much higher.In 1966January, Decca Records UK Department believes that Dolby A type noise reducer can indeed as Dr. Dolby described that play a role, and then ordered9Dolby A301A type noise reducer, applied for the first time in 1966May in Vienna to record Ashe Ken that Qi played some of Mozart's piano concerto. In 1966November, Decca published the first application of Dolby A type noise reducer record by Georg Solti / Muller second symphony. Subsequently, the recording industry began to recognize and use a large amount of Dolby A type noise reduction system. Initially used only recorded classical music, when multitrack recording technology promotion, will be more widely applied. Soon, the whole world of professional and non-professional begin to" Dolby" with high quality recording together.With the hope that Dolby will be present and noise reduction technology for civilian recorder voice rising, in an American commercial tape recorder manufacturer KLH company 's urging,1967April Dolby lab started to develop more practical civil noise reduction technology, initially known as the" simplified Dolby system", which later became known as Dolby B type noise reduction technology. In the Dolby B noise reduction technology development is nearing completion, Dr. Dolby made the decision, Dolby laboratory will not civilian production of audio products, consumer electronics products, but to the manufacturers authorized Dolby technology has been very mature, then by manufacturers for production. By the end of 1974, the Dolby laboratory authorized manufacturers already amounted to 47, including all consumer audio equipment manufacturers.Thereafter, Dolby laboratory has developed a series of Technology: C type noise reduction, SR ( spectral recording ), S type noise reduction, HXPro, stereo surround Dolby, Dolby, Dolby Pro Logic, AC1, AC2, Dolby digital ( AC3), Dolby E. These techniques are widely used in civil and professional audio equipment, sound recording film, cinema playback apparatus, digital broadcast etc..In addition to the headquarters in San Francisco, Dolby laboratory at present in the world have established branches or liaison offices: Losangeles, Wootton Barcelona ( UK), London, Brisbane, New York, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Hongkong.AC-3 multi-channel frameDolby surround ( Dolby Surround ) is the original Dolby multichannel film analog format consumer version. In the production of Dolby surround sound, a 4Channel -- left, right, and surround sound channel audio information through matrix coding in two tracks on a record. The two tracks from stereo format program source such as a video and television broadcast program and carrying into the family, and decoded the original 4channels of information can be reduced and surround sound. Hundreds of thousands of home videos and TV shows by Dolby surround coding." Dolby surround ( Dolby Surround ) as the most primary surround sound standard, provides a 4channel surround sound support.Dolby surround and DTS surround is similar in that they are lossy digital compression technology. This is referred to as" emotional" data compression technique is based on the human psychoacoustics that possess sound characteristics -- for high level sensitive voices, while shielding the other is not sensitive to the sound development of.Because Dolby stereo is a coding technology of digital stereo, and decoding technique uses a direction identifying circuit or a directional logic circuit, so that the use of Dolby company this circuit technology of sound is called Dolby Pro Logic sound; with Dolby 's proprietary specific decoding technology is called a Dolby Pro logic decoder decoder.Of course, only with the use of Dolby to the logic function of the AV amplifier, played by Dolby sound recording software, can hear the true high fidelity digital stereo sound effect. Dolby digital systems will generally be5.1 channel sound compression to 384bps, and some CD with 448bps, the maximum to the 640bps; DTS usually use much larger bit rate --1536bps. If other conditions are the same, is a bit more quality is better, this assertion is wrong? Unfortunately, the answer to this question is not so easy, because the Dolby Digital ( abbreviated as DD ) and DTS data compression circuit is different. For example, a coding efficiency very low signal, even if the bit rate is very high, also just wasted bits and disc space, but does not improve sound quality. Once a system is said to be" transparent", increase the bit rate without causing it to improve the sound quality. In addition because the DTS bit rate higher than Dolby, need takes up more space, if the DVD disk capacity constraints, may produce adverse effects on image quality, or to increase the additional cd.Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound ( Dolby Pro Logic ) is Dolby developed a surround sound system. It is the four track stereo recording by a specific encoding means for the synthesis of two channel, the original left channel ( L ), the right channel ( R ), the center channel ( C ), surround channel ( S ) of the 4signal, encoded into LT, RT composite double channel signal, replay through the decoder will encoded two-channel composite signals LT and RT reduction for encoding the left, right, in around four, each stem and independent signal, amplified respectively input left, right, center and surround sound speakers.In order to playback symmetry reasons, surround speakers using the left and right surround speakers, respectively, from the output of the amplifier, so the business to Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound output called channel five. But due to a left, right surround sound speakers connected in a channel, the output is the same as the surround channel information, the essence is still four channel. The business also has six channels and seven channels Dolby Pro Logic AV amplifier. The six track is the central channel two amplifying circuit is respectively connected with the output, in left center speaker and right center speaker. But left, right center speaker connected to a center channel, it is essentially a four channel. Seven channel surround sound channels is divided into four channel output, i.e. left rear surround, right rear surround sound, and adopts four surround sound, which became a seven channel output. But the output of the seven track four surround speakers are connected in a surround channel, also can calculate the output of four sound channels. So with Dolby Pro logic decoder AV amplifier whether five channel output, six channels of output or the seven output channels, is essentially a four channel. Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound in the left, right, three channel frequency range can reach 20-20000Hz, can meet the full range of requirements, but surround channel frequency range is narrow, only 100-7000Hz.Dolby E is designed for digital TV broadcast and post-production and the design of aprofessional audio coding system. Using the Dolby E, a AES / EBU channel can send up to 8channels of high quality digital audio stream, and also can be loaded Dolby digital control data signals (often called the metadata, including the Dolby digital mono mode, dynamic range, type, output level automatic adjustment of parameters, to ensure that users can correct Dolby digital program ). Dolby E with its advanced coding algorithm and higher data transmission rate, can ensure the digital TV audio signals through as many as 10cycle coding - decoding or other editing process, and does not cause quality deterioration. Dolby E audio can be associated with various formats of video signal is a good match, won't because video interference blind audio, sound burr or other distortion. Dolby E audio and video frames in the sequence are completely corresponding, can achieve precise audio and video integrated editing. More importantly, by use of this new type of coding technology, the existing radio and television system without large-scale transformation can spread multi-channel digital TV audio signals, thereby greatly reducing the system cost.Dolby E application is in digital television stations intermediate transfer, from a local television program transmitted by satellite to another local TV station. Dolby E in conveying to the transmitting terminal will be converted to PCM audio, and then encoded into Dolby digital signal, transmitted to thousands of households. Therefore, consumers in the home can be directly received by Dolby E signal, but only receives a digital signal on channel 5.1Dolby. In order to avoid the confusion, usually Dolby E called transfer coding system, and Dolby will be called to launch digital coding system.Dolby E standard data transfer rate is 1.92Mbits / sec (20bit / 48kHz for audio signal ), typical operating mode is "5.1+2", using six channel transmits a 5.1channel surround sound signal, the other two channel transmission of two-channel matrix coding signal ( such as Dolby Pro-Logic surround sound ) or dual mono stereo signal. Can also work in other modes, such as with two mono signal"5.1+1+1" pattern, three way stereo signal "3x 2" mode and a six single channel signal"6x 1" mode. Dolby's current version supports 29.97fps frame rate ( NTSC standard, PAL25FPS ),20bit length and 48kHz sampling frequency of the audio signal, a future version will support25FPS,16bit or24bit audio signal.AC-3 transmission formAC-3 based transmission system into a more extensive application field is feasible in technology. At the end of the century before, several AC-3 based application technology into commercial production.High definition television ( HDTV ) is declared using a AC-3 code first application technology. Grand Alliance has selected the United States developed this technique. For its high definition television system with digital surround sound and in 1996Atlanta Olympic Games for the first time as media.Because the AC-3effects and can be associated with high definition television matches the standard features of digital cable TV system, therefore, is a natural candidate for AC - 3. The first test transmission was 1994year. Due to the current available programs can use a single sound, stereo can also use with matrix ( matrix - sur-round ) stereo, therefore, a AC-3dual channel decoder for has been developed. And when the multi-channel digital program for transmission, high function converter ( converter ) will create a synthetic stereo downwardmixing effect.Always as home theater the highest quality image source DVD ( (LD ) as Dolby surround digital multi-channel audio examples show. Using AC-3bit stream ( bit stream ) alternative FM channel in a channel, so that the stereo pulse code modulation ( PCM ) digital audio soundtrack with FM mono cooperate with each other, so that it can be compatible with existing any player. With cable, DBS and DAB is realized by AC-3spectrum effect, quality and multi channel features a unique mix of choice. The first use of AC-3DBS system has been introduced in 1994, it can be for commercial organizations to provide a single transmitter transmission up to 120 stereo music channel transmission system.Other areas of application include medical telemetry devices suitable for very low bit-rate code under development. Potential users and system developers and the Dolby laboratory, in order to obtain the AC-3 technical support.AC-3 integrated circuitDolby surround digital main technical progress is Rolland ( Irap ) Company IR38000, which is a can perform AC-3decoder to decode single chip digital sound field processor ( DSP ). It was first used in second generation Dolby stereo digital cinema in the decoding unit.A Rolland company development, lower cost, especially suitable for consumer electronics equipment and also can provide the program logic decoding ( Pro Logic decoding ) AC--3 decoder integrated circuit in the middle of 1994launch. This is a dual channel integrated circuit chip can be used, such as cable television 's top decoder. Other semiconductor manufacturers have been or are ready to supply the AC-3 decoder integrated circuit.Dolby and digitalAC-3 is Dolby's laboratory developed the third generation of perceptual coding system. Each code system will be a special psychological acoustics ( psycho acoustics ) knowledge and advanced digital signal processing technology combine very well.AC-1 initially by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 1985 for its DBS system. Perhaps partly because AC-1 decoder cost reasons, it appears to be widely applied to other DBS services, satellite communication network and digital" wired broadcasting system". According to their different applications, each channel code rate for 220-325bit / sec. As an adaptation of delta modulation ( ADM ) in the form of a digital stream, ( datastream) contains information not by audio signal absolute value provided, but by different sampling ( Sample ) value changes identified. By Dolby transform to noise reduction techniques, such as: continuous transformation step and pre-emphasis can greatly improve the adaptation of delta modulation ( ADM ) basic performance.Dolby AC-2advanced adaptive transmission code used in professional audio transmission and storage, which each channel digital rate of 128 or192day / sec. Narrow band multiplicity of frequency control signal program fully adopted the noise masking superiority, resulting in an efficient reduction rate and high signal transparent effect. In other applications, such as: a long distance transmission, real time (real-time ) recording, mixing and adding storage ( ADR ) are very widely used for connecting remote recording studio or film shooting field. AC =3 is alsoused to connect the BBC Transmitter Room and the Dolby DSTLR system core equipment. AC-3 is in the AC-1and AC-2is developed on the basis of multi channel coding technology, to retain the original AC - 2such as window function, exponential transform coding, adaptive bit allocation and many other features, but also a new stereophonic sound channel coding technology strategy for the coupling and rematrix algorithm. In general, the stereo left channel and a right channel signal in the sense of hearing is very similar, there are many repetitive redundancy information, will be the two channel signals combine to be coded, can remove redundant signal and will not affect the original sound quality. Here AC-3array low bit rate and an effective means of.AC-3PC voice data input, output the compressed digital bit stream. Coding is the first step, using the TDAC ( Time Domain Aliasing Cancellation ) filter the time-domain PC sampling data is transformed into a frequency domain blocks into a series of transform coefficients, each transform coefficient in binary exponential notation, namely an exponent and a mantissa. Exponent part encoded constitutes the entire signal substantially the spectrum, also known as the spectral envelope. Using the spectrum including and shaded by line correlation decision each mantissa bit allocation. Because the bit allocation is adopted in the anterior / posterior to the hybrid adaptive bit allocation and public bit pool technology, which can make the limited rate in the channel between the different frequency components, between the rational allocation of the mantissa; in quantization process, the mantissa is shaking, shaking the pseudo random number generator can be on a different platform to get the same results. By the end of six blocks of the spectral envelope, coarse quantization of the mantissa and the corresponding parameters consisting of AC-3 data frame format, continuous frame merged into a digital stream output.By the time domain is transformed to the frequency domain block length selection is the exponential transform coding based on. As defined in AC-3two length switching, a512sample value point of the long block, a256sample value point of short block. In the analysis of signal spectrum, to deal with the channel signal blocks cut made longer, so that you can get a better frequency resolution, but also can get higher coding efficiency. But long data block may contain a number of different possible recognition of noise, such as pre-echo. That is to say the ear due to time and frequency exists on the shadowing effect in the exponential transform coding is a contradiction, not at the same time, must plan as a whole processing. For the steady state signal, whose frequency varies with time transform slow, in order to improve the coding efficiency, requirement filter has good frequency resolution, which requires a long block; as for the rapidly changing signal, requires good time resolution, which requires a short block. In the encoder, the input signal after3Hz high-pass filter removes the DC component, and then through a8kHz high-pass filter out high-frequency components, with its energy are compared with a preset threshold, in order to detect the signal transient situation.AC-3based on the modified discrete cosine transform ( MDCT ) adaptive transform coding ( ATC ) algorithm. Although defined in AC-3 standard MDCT transform, but the actual using a N / 4IFFT ( FFT ), plus two simple Pre-IFFT and Post-IFFT as adjustment, in order to achieve a N IMDCT transform. ATC algorithm is an important consideration is based on auditory masking effect critical band theory, namely in the critical band within a voice to another voice signal shielding effect the most obvious. Therefore, dividing the band filter group to have fast enough to ensure that critical band frequency response, and noise attenuation is large enough,the time and frequency of noise within the defined in the masking threshold.The AC-3 encoder bit allocation technique, has been applied widely on the forward and backward adaptive bit allocation rule. Forward adaptive bit allocation method is the encoder calculation, and the bit allocation information explicitly incorporated into the stream of data bits, and is characterized in that the front end of the encoding process uses auditory model, thus modifying the model the receiving side decoding process has no effect; the disadvantage of reducing coding efficiency, because of the need to transfer the bit allocation information while occupying a part effective bits. To the adaptive method did not get encoder clear bit allocation information, but from a digital stream in which the bit allocation information, has the advantages of no occupation of the effective bits, thus has higher transmission efficiency. Its drawback is from received data to calculate the bit allocation, if the calculation is too complex to the rising cost of decoder. In addition, the decoder algorithm also with encoder auditory model change. AC-3using hybrid backward / forward adaptive bit allocation, in enhancing the rate and reduce the cost of strikes a balance between.AC-3 decoder decoding principle basically is encoded by the reverse process, firstly, the decoder must with the encoded data stream synchronization, and then from a data error correction of digital flow separation control data, system configuration, the encoded spectral envelope and the quantized mantissas and other content, according to the sound spectrum envelope to generate the bit allocation information, the mantissa part of inverse quantization, restoring the transform coefficient exponent and mantissa, after synthesis filter banks, the data from the frequency domain to time domain, the final output of the PCM sample signal reconstruction.Through the understanding of AC-3, you can see the AC-3technology makes full use of the human ear sensory model, according to the different properties of signal, to take the corresponding effective algorithm, achieved at a high quality under the premise of achieving a higher rate for the intended purpose, is a very efficient and economical digital audio compression system. AC-3 is the American digital television system of mandatory standard, is the European digital television system recommended standard, at the same time, AC-3or DVD system of compulsory standards. At present our country is the development and promotion of digital TV system, all have reasons to believe that AC-3 technology will have a good prospect of application.Dolby Chun chamber ( About DolbyLaboratoies ) from the analog noise reduction ( analog noisereduction ) to the digital code ( digitalcode ), Dolby has concentrated on rooted in laboratory to ear sound perception based audio processing development. In the process of development, Dolby has always been the emphasis is on the critical listening and tested. Either analog or digital program program, their results are the same, with low cost, greatly improves the efficiency of communication media. In some cases, it also for the improvement of new products, such as: Dolby surround sound ( DolbySurround ) and home theater ( home theater T ) make contribution.The Dolby laboratory consists of the following components: investment and Technology Development Engineering Department, occupation audio product design and manufacturing sector, experts the organization and distribution of all over the world in the field of support group.
