Underhanded Penguin Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I believe it stands for Sony Dynamic Digital Sound. I think that's what I read a few years ago when I saw a movie in the theatre that had it. I believe it's a sound format along the lines of dd and dts that is only in theatres. Correct me if I'm wrong. -UP ------------------ Will you marry me Natalie Portman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthew2 Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 Thanks BBB! Whats 70mm sound? ------------------ Matthew Klipsch Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I believe it's sound that fits on 70mm film... Although film is normally 35mm when projected... Good question! ------------------ 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...

Good question! 70mm film is used for Imax films and for 3D films which has stereographic pictures on one film sheet, this technology is very new, used to be two 35mm films or two 70mm films to do 3D, but now thanks to a guy doing a new Imax 3D film, we have 70mm stereograpic film, and 35mm for the regular screens. ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers 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...
justin_tx_16 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 ok, after re reading my post, i remembered somethings, everything stands, except that imax uses 70mm, i think they use an even larger format. 70mm film uses a magnetic soundtrack and 35mm film uses an optical soundtrack. that is what is important to this post. need to wake up my dad for all this kind of info, we have all kinds of film cameras from when he was in highschool to present, it is pretty cool ------------------ -justin SoundWise Support A technical help site created by me and my fellow Klipschers 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...
Iftach Landau Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 SDDS offers up to 8 discrete digital channels, in a 7.1 configuration, adding 2 screen channels, between center and front left and right. It calls back to on-screen dialogue pan that was common in road-show presentations of extremely wide formats. While Dolby SR*D is placed between the sprockets of the 35mm print, and the DTS time-code is placed close to the analogue optical stereo track, the SDDS data is put on both rims of the print. I experienced various films in SDDS, and it is indeed stunning. Some claim that an outboard matrix decoder used to extract the surround back data from discrete surround channels might yield pleasant results in creating hard channels out of the front left right center data.

M6 Driver Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 The closest to SDDS would be picking up a higher end Yamaha offering the front surrounds I guess the RX-V1 or 3000 models would offer that not sure about the new 3200 of RX-V?. hope this helps. ------------------ "FULLY LOADED" J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boa12 Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 IL, i know it doesn't apply to our home sys, but what does SR*D stand for? yea seb that's what i was thinking 'bout - front effects w/ the yammys. wonder what they call those channels in sdds? left center & right center? ------------------ My Home Systems Page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew2 Posted April 29, 2002 Author Share Posted April 29, 2002 I heard on the HTF that front effects were nothing special. I would like a new reciver soon, and wish yamaha had MSRP's on their site! I think front effects would be cool. ------------------ Matthew Klipsch Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
