Tech at Free: Focus on the Dolby Surround 5.1 and DTS HD support of the Freebox Pop Player
With the small dico of technologies used by Free, this is an opportunity to deepen your knowledge of the telecoms world and, by extension, new technologies.Today, let's talk about Dolby Surround 5.1 and DTSHD technologies supported by the Freebox Pop player.
The Technical Player of the Freebox Pop Player announces DTSHD compatibility, Dolby Surround 5.1 and Dolby Atmos.The Dolby Atmos, which we have already talked about previously, allows for reminding to bring the verticality of the sound.A helicopter taking off, for example.But what about Dolby Surround 5.1 and DTSHD?
Dolby surround 5.1 is a multichannel audio format allowing sound spatialization for better immersion in content.It offers five front front channels, front left, front center, rear right and rear left (5), as well as a channel dedicated to bass (1).
With its theoretically unlimited number of channels, the DTSHD audio format (Digital Theater System High Definition) makes it possible in particular to envisage 7.1 sound, by adding the left side and right lateral channels.Like the name of the name, it compresses the signal less, which allows you to send more data.It also increases the precision of the signal, thus allowing better granularity in the sound for the happiness of purists.
To take advantage of these technologies, you must of course have compatible audio equipment.
It remains to wait for the activation of these technologies thanks to updates for the Freebox Pop player.Indeed, when these lines are written, they do not work in Oqee, but not either in YouTube, Netflix or Plex.
