What Is Dvd Audio? By Kenny Hemphill
DVD Audio is a music format that is designed to offer improvedaudio performance over CD. The new audio format can be used toprovide listeners with Advanced Resolution stereo and/ormulti-channel (up to a maximum of six channels) music. In orderto play back Audio discs, players have to be speciallydesigned to support the format. So far, consumer electronicsmanufacturers have announced a range of Audio players,including home decks, portable players and devies for cars.
DVD Audio has a sampling rate of up to 192kHz compared to amaximum of 44.1kHz for CD. It also supports resolutions of up to24 bits, compared to 16bits on CD.
The idea behind Audio is that it alllows peoducesr to givelisteners a playback experience that is much more faithful tothe original
master recording that has been possible previously.
DVD Audio discs have a much higher capacity than CDs. This extraspace can be used to provide audio at the highest possiblequality or for longer recordings, or to provide additionalmaterial, such as infromation on the artist, photos and evenvideo, all of which can be displaye don a television screen.Alternatively, Audio discs currently on the market from thelikes of the Warner group of labels have the audio content inboth Audio format and as Dolby Digital surround so that theycan be played back on regular players.
DVD Audio discs are navigable in the same way as Video whenpolayed back on a player connected to a TV set. Users can selectthe required track from an on-screen menu and with an internetconnection, can click on links to go to websites.
These dual format discs are a good way to kick-start the marketwhile Audio players are still relativley rare. The marketwill also be helped by combined Video and Audio players.
