Kain Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 When I went to watch "Lord of the Rings" in a theater, they had it playing in SDDS (Sony Dynamic Digital Sound). I was wondering if SDDS is a sound format like Dolby Digital and DTS. If it is, how does it compare to them? ------------------ Home Theater: Display: Sony VPL-VW11HT 16:9 HDTV LCD Projector A/V Receiver: Denon AVC-A11SR (European version of Denon AVR-4802) DVD Player: Sony DVP-NS900V (European version) Center: Klipsch RC-7 Mains: Klipsch RF-7s Surrounds: Klipsch RS-7s Subwoofer: SVS CS-Ultra w/Samson S1000 amplifier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6 Driver Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I think SDDS operates like the higher end Yamaha's offering front effects that's the best I can describe it! ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 yes it is a sound format like DD and DTS, except it's not available in the consumer market. it has eight channel capabilities. www.sdds.com ------------------ http://members.fortunecity.com/sebdavid - go laugh at my crappy website/equipment http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mc.asp?alias=Sebdavid - go laugh at my puny little DVD collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Seb, You are right and If they do decide to make it available to the consumer market I hope it will be SDDS descrete. Otherwise it will be just a gimik like the Yamahas front effects channels. ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 they won't, it would require too much space, as the compression is MUCH lower (if there is any) than DD or DTS. unless we have a new high-capacity media that comes around, I don't see how it could be made available to us. plus, imagine the hardware-related nightmare: you'd have to upgrade your receiver or processor, and your DVD player, to be able to take advantage of potentially few software. ------------------ http://members.fortunecity.com/sebdavid - go laugh at my crappy website/equipment http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mc.asp?alias=Sebdavid - go laugh at my puny little DVD collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin_tx_16 Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 we have the technology right now for a super density type DVD disc... it could hold the audio i am sure... but it won't be around for consumers for a while. i can live with DD-EX and DTS-ES for now ------------------ -justin SoundWise Tech Support I am an amateur, if it is professional; ProMedia help you want email Amy or call her @ 1-888-554-5665 or for an RA# 800-554-7724 ext 5 Klipsch Home Audio help you want, email support@klipsch.com or call @ 1-800-KLIPSCH RA# Fax Number=317-860-9140 / Parts Department Fax Number=317-860-9150s> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marathon Man Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Amen.. Besides I just filled the holes in my wall from the DSP-A1's front effects speaker mounts. LOL. Aint looking to go through the configuration headache again, however the wire is stil behind the wall, and since the B&K is both hardware and firmware upgradeable It would be tempting. On the other hand like you said Seb by the time the software caught up with whats currently released and you have to purchase all your favorite movies over again it would not be worth it. No doubt Sony is thinking about it tho.. ------------------ MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
